Enough With The Self Pity!
So... you guys who ran the Energizer Night Race 2012 on Apr 21st checked your results yet? Check it out over at Hooha. I'm still stung over my "I wish it could be better" run but enough about me and me wallowing in self-pity.
A quick post to congratulate my fellow online runner friends who also enjoyed the night run last week.
Woohoo to Nick for his awesome run. 1 hour 26minutes and with 26th placing. He is in the top 2%! How awesome is that? Pebbles must be so proud to wear your medal, Nick! ^^
Big shout-out to Kah Yen too, at the top 25%. Respect! :)
For Neoh - congrats for another sub6 hour full marathon. Furthermore in VFF! SCKLM will be a breeze for you, I bet! :)
And for me? heh heh. Here's how I fared:
Can see or not? There... No. 132. 132!!! Big numbers. Woo! Bwahaha
Better do better and get something less than 120 if I want to get any medal during the Larian Bomba on May 6th! Oh, the pressure. I think I do better when I just run and just happen to arrive the finish line instead of being all serious and technical about it. Life's too short to worry much.
at least u still did well..
ReplyDelete132? If I had to do that race, that's the number of times I'd collapse within the first 2 km.
ReplyDeleteYou finished despite being sick. Not your best ever, but good enough. Says I.
PS: I saw an ekiden at the Hoohasia site! Ekiden? Relay race? You use the Japanese word? :D
LOL. Yeah, right. xD
DeleteYup, we used the Japanese word.
Ask most runners here, they'd know what ekiden is, despite not knowing the origin of the word. ;)
congrats Lina, u did great :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Aini.
DeleteYou did BIM ke?
You did a great run!
ReplyDeleteI think I am hooked by VFF now :P
Tempted to run in VFF again in SCKLM...
Tentatively my sub-5 target can only achieve later...
Good for you.
DeleteSo.. you gonna run with your VFF in June? Getting a new pair for it? :)
I bet you can do both - run SCKLM in VFF & achieve sub5. Good luck Neoh!
I hope so...
DeleteThe ENR2012 didn't worn a hole in the VFF outsole, so I will use the same pair...
Eying on a bicycle, budget on running gear will be diverted :P
Wah! Going into doing a tri are we? :)
Deleteerrr... I will sink into pool...
Deletecan't swim :P
the idea of getting a bicycle is to commute from home to office, only 11km each way. But the traffic is so bad, I think I can cycle faster than I drive to office x(
That's so cool!
DeleteI saw a few cyclists with their bikes here at Mid Valley area. Of course, most of them are Mat Salleh. xD
Cycle safely Neoh!
Think of the big picture lina, 132 out of? XD;;; congrats for finishing the race ;)
ReplyDeleteAhahah... Yeah,I'm gonna follow Bob Glover's advice and look at percentage instead of that big number. xD
DeleteThanks Lina. Anyone who completed the run deserves a pat on the back. You too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kah Yen. Again.
DeleteYou always have +ve encouragement for me. ^^
true!! the run was over so no need to bother about how good or bad your run was.. you should look forward to the next run..
ReplyDeleteThat's why lor. Cannot sulk for too long. Not conducive.;p
Deletewow, your friend is super!! ranked 26th and within the Top 2%!! hey, i think you should train with him.. :)
ReplyDeleteI asked him already once! LOL
DeleteHe asked me to train with somebody else whom he said is better. hahaha
But he is good, right? :)
so you are at 132th place, how many in that "gadis" category?? but as long as you are in the list i supposed not bad right??
ReplyDeleteAhahaha... even if I DNF (did not finish) I'd still be in the list. xD
Deleteat least you are still in the list, not that you only arrived at the finishing line after the officials has finished keeping all the setups!! hahaha~~
ReplyDeleteI don't think Zaini would wait for me that long lah, if I ever run that slow. Muakaka!!!!
Deleteyes, life is too short to worry too much!! just go for it!! and hope you'll be in Top 20 in your next run (like what you did in one of your race, i remember you were #12 right??)..
ReplyDeleteLast time #10 lah. Bib number was #11. kikiki
DeleteTop 20 in Larian Bomba or Standard Chartered KL Marathon? I would keel over and die with happiness lah if I got that! Those two races are extremely popular with elite Malaysian runners.
You know, Veteran runners can finish a 10K at 40 minutes. My PR (personal record) was 67minutes. How to even be in top 50? xD
anyway, i really salute those who can run long distance without stopping.. i have very weak stamina, so maybe in less than 1KM i'm already about to collapse~~ :p
ReplyDeleteMe too! Especially those who can do 42K and Ultras like its a morning stroll. ;p
DeleteYou want to collapse because you sprint the whole kilometre mah! Try run slowly like me, sure can tahan a few more KMs. ;)
I can't see number 132 clearly... I need my magnifying glass. This old aunty cannot see and cannot run.
ReplyDeleteAunty Yvonne,
Deleteclick on the photo can see mah. Bigger photo. xD
The one with the name blurred out one. I cannot simply show people my full name right? ;p
Don't be disappointed, but to do better in your upcoming run. To me, you are already doing very well compare to many XD
ReplyDeleteYeah, I should think like that also.
DeleteI'm doing the opposite for next run.Just enjoying it. No target time but hoping can get one of the 120 medals offered. ;p
What's the last number again? I book the last one T___T
ReplyDeleteNot saying. Why book the last one? The last one was for those who did not finish lar... xD
DeleteHaha, I sure cannot finish one. Maybe run for 200m and got tired, find a place to sit by the road side and start cheering for other contestants.
Delete*200m is the max I can go during my school time.
200m you sprint one. For this distance, we just jog jog a little only. Penat that time, stop and walk lor... hahahah
DeleteOf course, I talk only. When kena walk, sad like mad because not macho to fake a run. hu~
Aiyaaa, where got awesome one ... hahaha! I just enjoyed the race which translated into a decent run la. Besides, everyone who ran was awesome!
ReplyDeleteImagine what you can do if it's done really hard Nick! ;)
DeleteCongrats to everyone who completed the run! You did extremely well compared to me, I cannot even run 100m. :(
ReplyDeleteNever say never! ;p
DeleteYes, maybe you'll do better by just running and enjoying instead of analyzing haha!
ReplyDeleteBut I like analysing too.kakaka
DeleteOnly maybe I shouldn't do it during a race lah... doing it on training runs beats boredom, fatigue and the might be monotony of doing loops. ;)
Wish you the best of luck in your next big run! : )
ReplyDeleteThanks Panda! :)
DeleteNot a bad finish Lina :) Goodluck on May 6th. Hope you get a medal!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteFingers and toes crossed! ;)
