I'm relieved that my 1st half marathon has over. Despite with pain all over my body especially both knees, I feel good completing it.
Before the race, I was praying hard that I'll have a nice weather with a bit of drizzling to run. Amazingly, God Answered my prayer...Thank You GOD!!
The first 10km was great, steady breathing, no cramp & I did it in an hour..I continued my slow & steady pace till 15km, there's when my nightmare started. The injury from last year haunt my knees again & has caused so much pain till I've to walked, limped & forced run till finishing line. All the time I made up earlier when down the drain...sigh! I'm disappointed that I didn't achieve my goal of doing sub-3, could have done better...but I've completed it, that's the least consolation for me.
There were too many complaints about the race not properly organised..but I'm not going to elaborate much here, seeing too many of my friends has already posted their complaints in their respective blogs...hahaha.
To have completed this race, there are some friends that I really appreciate for their support & encouragement along the way. Especially Lena, not only she make the effort to do weekly training with me, she did her very best to be my pacer during the race.
