I registered myself into this category about 3 months ago and yesterday was the day i broke my record. The farthest i have ever ran was 10km. That was the limit. But yesterday, i doubled it up. In fact, an addition of 1km more! It was pretty big for me! I was so happy for myself i cannot even bring myself to believe it.
The race took off at 5am. Before the race, the organizer already told all the 21km participants that the cut off time will be exactly 3 hours. So, all of us would have to reach the finishing line at 8am, and i reached at 7:23am! I took only 2 hours 23 minutes to reach the finishing line! Which happened to be earlier than what i expected! I could have been faster if it wasn't my knee. After i had covered the first 10km, my knee started to hurt. Left knee. It has always been left knee. But i told myself "dude, you have done half of the distance, you cannot quit now, forget about the pain and keep running!" Which i did! And i spent the remaining of the day on the couch icing and massaging my knee. Good thing that i'm a physiotherapist student i do have perks!
As what i'd concluded on facebook: "You have no idea how excited I was when i saw that 20km checkpoint!" Round applause for myself and now looking for another one... I'm hooked to it!
