kilometer 91: Airspeed

It was my first time to run on the course of SM Mall of Asia. I’ve been plan­ning to set a new PR on this rel­a­tively flat road. Too bad, I wasn’t able to.

It was just one of those days that at one moment you’re con­fi­dent you’re able to do it, but after a minute or so, you’re hope­less you’re not able to do it.

The first 2.5 kilo­me­ters were fast and com­fort­able as I am able to pace again with Michelle, who even­tu­ally won third place for the Women’s Divi­sion. But after the first water sta­tion, I began to slow down. Arrgh! The sup­posed to be new PR is gone with the wind.

So I just set­tled for a slow com­fort­able pace. I don’t know the num­bers as I still don’t have any watch yet. I fin­ished the first loop in 27-something min­utes, as I saw the dig­i­tal clock at the fin­ish line. Dou­ble it, I could fin­ish the race in 54-something min­utes. And so I did.

Some 300 meters before the fin­ish line, I saw a girl friend and urge her to go for a Strong Fin­ish! She replied by say­ing, Gago! Haha­haha! I think that word means Good morn­ing in a dif­fer­ent language.
