Heh. Look at the title and look back here. NAILED IT ! HAHAH. Well on the 26May.2012. Few madafking potential runners aka 'imdamnproudofyouguys' runner simply nailed sundown2012 despite first running time this far but also completed it with a superb timing. Im just gonna share the experience of running sundown2012. So those that's not interested in running shall stop reading and start busying your own stufF!! hehee
So. It all started with. 5 4 3 2 1 BOMB. Run. So much thanks to kaesee and koon for the company in the 1st 21km for the pacing at first. Running that 21km is the furthest i had ever trained with kaesee in NTU where we used to train there twice a wk sometimes :/ . After 21km is the OHM. Where kaesee and koon dumped me by the road and look forward, and that's where i felt that my limit has reached. I started walking fast to try not to lose their presence in ECP that moment.
Well while walking after 21km, i dono how to motivate myself to continue except keep complaning how pain is my leg an hell yeah i regret joining sundown- nearly curse kaesee for letting me to join an suicide mission. After walking/jogging hell for another 7km. At 28km Overtook by alot of Uncle and Aunty. The U-turn point in ECP.
Then it started raining. Heavily for real. The strong wind and the blasting water drops is opposing to my direction. Hmmm, then i started to ponder for awhile while consuming the energy gel they gave us in the U-turn point. So many quote has gone through my mind including ' let stop the race and go home now' but one quote. "Why walk when you can run." The quote fking boosted me. It's like Popeye finally found his tiny bits spinach in a huge vegetable farm. :x
Then me no wait anymore and run like a BOSS overtaking people is like drinking water. Running at that pace under the rain with the coldness and the uncomfortable water-drops attack. is really something new. All the way till I cross the finishing line with 4.51.03 hours. Hmm, to think of it, mayb it’s the rain that helps to boost. ;)

PS:Gratz to the first timers in completing the race and sorry if I ever be-little you guys as I always did! Mayb next run under the sun? ;)
