Time : 1:41:00

Pace :  8:25 mins/km

Its funny to know before the race one can be calm and collective. The minute the the honk howles, we all get all kiasu and wanting to win the rat race. Shyly I admit I was one of them.

Whatever I have been practising for weeks went out the drain in seconds. argghh!! But I could hear both the good and the bad voice in me arguing. "yes, you can do it! you have learned the master of balancing",while the evil voice go " who are you kidding, nizie. Youve pushed yourself too hard to begin with, now you will never get it on time". And before I made a firm decision and here we go, there comes the hilly slope and i go weee...!. Goodness!! My legs were slowly deteriorating at the 7th click. but yet i could afford to be happy giving my best smiles to the photographers. When i slowed down on the 9th click, some guys who passed by told me to run for LV, Feragamo and Ferrari. Go ferari go! I can hear their personal cheering. Another hottie Brit told me Ill race u there, come on girl you can do it. But, all i can do was walk. Yap at the 10th km i walked until the 11th km. Its funny inspite all of this, I was thinking on my first halfie next year and another dude broke me out from my thoughts, "its another 1 km babe..go for it!' and I sprint on and on to the finish line and felt gooooood.
