My first army half marathon today..

The amount of crowd AHM drew was simply amazing.. I wonder if standard chartered is like that too.. Completing AHM was simpler than I thought.. I guess its probably cos of the sheer amount of the people running with me that got me so amazed to remember the pain???

Timing taken was about 2:15 according to the clock at the finishing line.. According to jen we finished 10k in 67mins.. The next 11k was done at about 6min per k, which I never thought I could have done..

Running was quite smooth without any pain on the joints or muscles until after the run when I tried to sit down, then I realise that my knees are aching..

After crossing the finish line, we were ushered to this place that is under the grandstand of the NDP parade.. The place was full of sweaty sweaty people.. The first time when I got into it, it was still fine, the second time I got into it (cos I forgot to return my championchip), the place got even more full.. The smelliness and the lack of fresh air almost killed me la.. I'm like, oh no, I am going to faint.. In the end, jen got to return the championchip for me while I went out for fresh air.. I felt much better outside but was chased in a few times by some NSmen.. I cannot imagine going in lor.. In the end I climbed over the barricade just to get out of the area that they kept chasing me off.. I found a spot to sit down and started puking.. Not a little, but a lot.. hurhur.. Thats the power of smelly guys as a group.. Hurhur..

No pictures for AHM.. booohooooo.. Next week is half-iron man.. Hahah.. I'm not taking part.. I'm not at the level.. But enpingy is.. Haha.. Jia you!!
