30.5.10

First and the last

This is my 2nd time joining a marathon and this time round, it's only 10km. The excitement wasn't as much as 21km run. However, Sundown is quite a disappointment. Partly, it's my fault as well.

First, I am disgusted by the long hours I have to queue to get my race pack. The number of counters were pathetic and the volunteers led me to the WRONG category queue at first. As compared to SC marathon, I went there, they led me, no queue(the number of counters were quite scary) got my stuffs and left. It took me only about 5 minutes.

Secondly, I didn't get to run today because I was late when I reached Pasir Ris. And the queue for the shutter bus was hell long! I reached the mrt station at about 7.15pm and queued all the way to 9.15pm. My race flagged off at 7.30pm. I knew I couldn't run already, but I still want to try my luck. That was why I waited on. At 9.15pm, the volunteers just informed us that there'll be no more shutter buses and told the runners to either take cab and walk about 3km(in fact, it's about 4km!) to the starting line. But the 21km runners can't start after 9.30pm. Many people were flared up.

The venue is very very ulu. The journey of getting home was tough. I felt quite empty since I took mrt all the way to Pasir Ris, queued for nothing for a few hours, then come back to the west again. Waste time + money.

Hmm, but it's my fault to leave home so late.

So... SC marathon is so tempting now that I missed Sundown. BUT I GOT WORK ON THAT DAY... Not sure if I can change the schedule or not. I want to feel the flat flat tummy after running 21km again! but it will be inflated again after I drink a lot of fluid. hehe.
