從青馬橋轉入汀九橋的轉捩點,倒下了。
倒下了! 倒下前,內心極度痛苦,意志極力爭扎。一煞那,俯伏在廣告板上不繼喘氣,汗水濕遍全身,按停了腕上的跑錶,這意味放棄比賽。
工作人員走過來詢問情況,救護員衝來扶 ...
Hi Peteruno,
Take care and stay good health ! Hope to see your sub-3 again in soon in your future Marathon !!
I was almost collapsed in the similar distance - 12to 15km point -body overheat problem. When in the turning to Tin Kau Bridge and I was thinking to withdraw also. When crossing the half Marathon line, the time was 1hr 41 mins( but my memory was telling me that was around 1hr 45mins). But I kept on struggling and told myself let's see what happen to 34km point at West Hrabour Tunnel, if really the body was still bad and then I would withdraw at the point. In fact, I had told my family to wait for me at the finish line at finish time of around 3hr 30mins that was around 11:30AM. Then from 21km point, I kept on running no stop - very slow speed until to the 37.4km water point, then I took my last Power Gel pack and kept on the slow pace. A lot of fast runners passing me and I told myself that was Ok, as long as I could come back to Finish Time was OK.
But when I came to Wanchai area and then suddenly my body system was energized again and told myslef that there was only less than 2km distance to finish line and that was only around 4 to 5 laps of 400m, start the Turbo engine and went for the fastest pace I could. Then when I saw the Finsih Line clock - 3hr 38mins - 30, 31, 31, 33, 34sec - Oh I finished at time within 3hr 38mins - I accept such result since my body was not in the perfect conditions.
Sometimes nothing could prepare in advance, especially the bad thing. We could only prepare for the worst and hope for the best !!!! |
