1 more day to D Day

It has been a long journey.
Ever since last year's poor effort, i had been determined to make things right.
As in if i "lose", i shld go down fighting and not crumbled to cramps ,etc
It was a "boo-boo" as i felt lost walkin in the sea of pple telling myself it was not meant to be.
And it was with 10k more to go, where i make the last surge to drop the competitor to go in 3rd place.
The script would have been that i built on it to get on the podium.
But i falter.....

this year had plenty of ups and downs in the training.
Through this tough discpline, I had learnt alot more and grew stronger.
Pushed myself harder and have some transferrable skills to bring to my career.

Never build fences around urself. Be open to new things and ways that could bring u further.
There could be various aspects for improvement and you have to be balanced.

Attended a talk by our local elites abt training camps in japan that have amazing runners.
though i admire them that much for running those damn fast times, i have question if they do it full time or like us having family, jobs and bills to pay?

carbo loading sessions had been great. it is really down to tomorrow now.

I am ready.

3 more days to d-day

Its been close to 1 year. Dreaming and training to "undo" my previous year's bomb.
However, things arent suppose to be a fairy tale. Competition is stiff.
Marked out probably 10 potential 3hr runners inclusive myself.
And I believe on the start line, at least 6 of us are capable of sub 2:50.
With Mok takin part, my chances really winning the event is dim.

However, I will still try my best, to justify the hard work that i placed in.
3 more days. Its getting rather nervous for me. enjoying the extra time and freshness from the reduced running.
But the diet control part is rather tough. worse than the anaerobic session with james. haha.

Training has gone as per my previous post. Except that i switch the rest day to Thurs, today instead.
Have to get in the rest early to prevent accumulated tiredness.
Been feeling gd n light in my runs.

Monday's tempo was ok. But the start wasnt. Full of nerves as i jog to the track......

NB had kindly provided me with a new attire that I thought looked pretty cool n gd.
But it cant be the shit that will kill them all. hahha...
Decided on the light and thin RC130 red racers.
Hope my quads and calf will hold out well.
It was a choice btw 769 n 130. 769 was my initial choice but abrasions on the heel after long sessions..... make me revert to the only available 130 racer.

Carbo-loading session will be at Kushinbo, target: 50 pces of sushi. hahaha...
lots of rice and noodles for me.
Bro will be giving me my drinks at 10 and 30km point.

it has been a long journey and i had enjoyed the training process.
its sunday then.
