A 12km run...
Actually they can also call it a 12km hill run or climb. Yes, it was extremely hilly! The most hilly run I've ever experienced.
Most of it, I was panting like a half dead fish and halfway through a few climbs I walked! And seriously thought about stopping! Although many times people said nice view nice view, I was not enjoying it then...hahaha!
1km...3.45
2km...4.22
3km...5.00++
The hills are coming...the hills...arggghh!!!
Forget about the time splits...
Up down, up down...and a few hills were incredibly steep. Marshal stationed there told runners to slow our descend unless we don't mind rolling down like a sack of potatoes...in my case will be tomatoes...hehehe!
Ok, cut the story short, I paced with someone whom I forgot to ask his name in the final 2km. He asked me to follow him, so I did. Last km, he stopped to walk and I pulled him along as I pass him. But that was the only few seconds I was in front of him as he sprinted to the finish line in the last 200m. I was smoked! :(
Finished the 12km panting and out of breath. Happy to finish a strenuous hill run.
At the finish line, I waited for Michelle. So far no girls have finished and I didn't pass any. So she's still in good contention for a podium finish...again. :P

The last km was a tough fight as she "pia" like hell to keep the 2nd girl behind her at a safe distance.



As for me, I only managed 59min, position 20th...I think... :(
