What can I say except that I didn't die.I thought it was still alright, and I could ran all the way. I thought I got get a timing below four hours. Was I so wrong.
I probably completed half of the marathon in an hour's plus time, and a few kilometres into the second half, this girl whom I found cute and was running with the past several kilometres suddenly decided to switch sides, got too close and tripped me.
Believe me, I never recovered from that. I walked for most of the rest of the run, only really running at the last few kilometres because my legs hurt that much.
I finished the whole damn thing in around 5 and a half hours. The walking was so fscking excruciating and so very slow. I'm so slow. ): Even though there were tons of people after me, I still feel so pathetic because several senior citizens walked past me in the run.
I learnt a lot from my first marathon. If there is ever a next time I am not thinking straight and sign up for another marathon, I'm not going to slow down training a few months before the marathon. ): And I'm so gonna eat more. ): The banana stops were like 30 kilometres apart and I was so hungry during the race. ):
Some pictures in chronological order!
Preparing to leave.
Many, many people ready to die.
All I can say is that, I ran a marathon and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
..And medal.
