My 1st Ever Kan Kor Half Marathon! $%&#@*!!!

(Kan Kor = Susah).

WHY #1?
I think heavy workout at gym on friday lah, such as Angkat Besi, Cycling n Swimming.

WHY #2?
I register for 10k on der net. TNS! Too many of my name on der online register list. Making der organiser so confuse, at d end i hv to run der 21km. Next time, register ur name correctly, dont play play. I hv so many names at der list, such
as, "PM1 der Great Ronnie See", "Ronnie Arumugan See", "Ronnie See" n etc... Very sorry to Chen Fong Fong for not pacing wit him on der 10km. I think Fong Fong should know why by now liao.

WHY #3?
My last wks traning is more focus on 10k, i dont hv any preparation on der 21k. Dat mean, i run my 21k without a proper training. TNS again!!

WHY #4?
Walk too much during der whole satuday morning thru nite, making my leg so tired to run.

WHY #5?
I run der 1st 10k at only 85% n sumore feeling very gut. N my 10k timing was 43:52s. I hv a feeling dat if keep on thru dis pace for another 11km, maybe i can PR's! After 15km, can feel der tiredness liao. I even stop for stretching for a while, der knee pain oso come n visit me again. After 19km, i feel like want to walk oredi. Coz my whole leg so keras like besi. Since i run der 21k last yrs, so very familiar wit der route to finishing. There was a big u-turn dat seem kenot reach wan! I saw dis malay runner, Abdul Aziz. Which i beat him at Subang Run wit 400m to go. So dis time happen der same thing again. Wit 1km to go, n he still lead on me. So i start to turbo kau-kau lat, until der 400m again. I potong sayur him again until der finishing line. I think der malay fella must be TNS kau-kau lat again. But i quickly go n shake his hand, n we be friend again. To my surprise, i manage to PR! So dat why dis 21km race is so kan kor to me!
