Mak Long Marathon: Penang Bridge International Marathon

this is the 2nd painful run after sundown. i slept for 2hrs after reaching Penang and been up since 7pm on saturday night. the race flag off for half marathon was at 3am. hotel provided shuttle bus to take us runners to the race site but then it was way to early...at 11pm.

half asleep, i made it to the race site and lucky to find a bootcamp buddy. soon its 3am, there i am running a half marathon, half asleep, half awake, zombie. tired and annoyed, i just couldn't wait for the run to be over. my feet hurts. my knee hurts. i ran and walked for the first 15km and ran the final 6km with small stride, slow stride ever. it took me 2.5hrs to do 15km and ngam ngam soi clocked in 21km at 3hr 27min.

tapi bila dapat medal tu terubat jiwa lara. kehkeh. i ended my run at 6.40am and had to wait until 9.30am until the road is open for traffic. bertambah annoyed, the sun was up, and i look everything like a drug addict. red eyes and zombie. i could not eat because im so tired. pegang pisang pun jatuh.

thank god i have omak and my cousin, so one can drive home, and another one can massage my dying legs in the car. i swear if im doing this again next near, i'll stay at the hotel near the start line.
