exam.. but not in exam mode. (07/06/2008)
haven't updated for a long time. I am at library right now, not able to type Chinese, so I just copy some running texts I wrote from my blog. sorry about this.
07/06/08
Don’t know what sort of initiative motivated me to the Tan track at 7:00am, considering I only had 2 hours sleep last night and the examination on Monday morning. Surely I wasn’t in the game in my own studies. So, I tried my first Tan Trial for 2 laps, which was a terrible start as I made my worst 8km timing .
Had no idea what it was going on at the beginning, especially when they gave me 7 mins “handicapped start” (in my limit English knowledge I only know “handicapped” stands for someone who has physical or mental disable. Did they mean I am physically handicap? I am not so sure… but it is the fact that I need to start running 7 mins slower than the first pack, while different people have different “handicapped time”, like 5 mins, 8 mins, to name but a few.
The Tan Trial ran in clockwise. This means I had to face uphill Anderson St. No way, I could handle it pretty easily, that what I thought, so I decided to start with considerable fast pace. However, my " 小嚴" felt painful when I had ran about 2km , I knew it was the result of inadequate preparation before running. So, game is already over and it is the matter whether I could finish the run with painful. Finished the first 4km with 19:30, but really hard to run for the second lap. I did want to walk to the finish line, but I thought I could walk whatever I like in every running events if I am 70+, after all it is too young to walk during the time trial. I tried really hard to keep running till the end (fortunately it was just 8km… hard to imagine if I need to run further 2km). Surely the time for 2nd lap was terrible: 22:07, which is my new slowest record , but anyway, that’s pretty nice to run in the morning and I didn’t even feel I have just slept 2 hrs. I also enjoyed the life in the church for the rest of today.
