Since when do bananas taste this good!?!?!? February 27, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , trackbackI was able to finish the marathon, alive, ofcourse. Woke up at 6am ate breakfast, took a quick shower and went to the park where the start/finish is. Wandered around the place for about 20min or so because it's a pretty damn huge park and finally, I found a triathlete that I know. Wasn't nervous at all, in fact, I didn't even think of it as a race until I passed 10km…
My first marathon: I didn't notice the race started until everyone ran, hehe, that's how relaxed I was. I ran the race in a fairly slow time. 10km-55'29, 20km-58'47, 30km-1:08'17, 40km-1:12'40, 42.195-13'21. A total of 4:28'36, my official time is 4:28'56, don't really know what happened. 1st half was 2:01'32. A lot of people told me that my knees will hurt after 30km but I had no problem with the knees, although I had some problem with muscles, I guess my legs don't last that long…YET, it will some day. I finished 1361 out of 8526(number of people who signed up). Don't know how many people finished until tomorrow. It wasn't as tough as I thought it'll be but the pain I had since Wednesday on my right foot(I thought it was healed) came back at 40km. Good thing it wasn't 30km, hehe. Oh yeah, I was getting hungry around 30km and luckily, I was able to get a banana at the aid station. You know what? I was suprised by how GOOD the banana tasted. Is it because I was running or is it the quality? Maybe I should start eating veggies that I hate after running 30km, will it taste good? I guess I'll do some extra stretching before bed. All in all, it was a nice, slow race.
Tomorrow: I'll have the usual day at school and if my legs feel okay, I'll get on the trainer which I haven't been doing for a while and then go for a swim.
