HL, BK and Janson helped with the preparation. If not for them, I'd have slept in most of the sundays. i guess the run was not so difficult this time because of the somewhat adequate preparation. many, many, many thanks.
jenny volunteered to be the chauffeur in the morning and brought us to the starting line early and calmed. we even had time to go to the toilet at conrad :)
@ncy came back from LA just-in-time to cheer for us. She touched down before 6am, went home to say "hi" to her mum and then went to pick Jy. Where to find such wonderful friends? (my brother said that 8am was way too early for him.) i was looking forward to the 22km mark because i knew the girls would be there. you have no idea how motivating your presence was. thank you gir
ls.the first 32km was quite a comfortable run. BK constantly reminded me to eat and drink. in fact, i thought i could have drank too much. so much that i felt a little bloated and even had to burp, ha ha. that was really quite funny.
i tried to go a little faster after the 32km mark and eventually finished the race just after 5 hrs. on our way to lunch, there were still people running on the road. by then the sun was blazing and i really felt very sorry for the runners. they were so determined to finish the run. good for them! (@ngy dropped us off one by one after lunch, thank you very, very much!)
it wasn't so painful this time and today, i emphsize TODAY, i feel like i might just do it again :)

I'm glad all the effort was worth it!
were you guys looking forward to 22km because we were there, or because we were there with the food!
