Mizuno Wave Run 2013 : My Race

Running is not a race with the others, it a race between yourself. Its a race I almost lost yesterday. I almost quit. My last run was on the 31th of May, with no training at all, I try to look at this race as my weekend LSD.
I was out of pace since the start, getting passed by a lot of people form KM 1. Even though my pacing was out, I was able to maintained it till the KM 5. After that, the next 11km was a constant struggle.  My Huru Hara Runners' friend continue to run pas thru me.  My target was to reach the finish line before 2hour mark. I disappointingly finished it by 2hour 15 second (unofficial time).
The weather was good, quite windy and cloudy and it did help me finish this race especially the last 500meter.

In the end,this was not a good race for me and if I do not train hard enough before SCKLM, I will never shave of 10 to 15 minutes out of my HM PB 2 hours and 30 minutes.
No more excuses. Time is running out. Need to train more.
