Hi (: Just did 21km last night. Took me 2hrs 45mins. I think it went alright, because I managed to complete the run without stopping. Had the circuit run at Taman Bukit Jalil, and had to run 7 rounds as one round is equivalent to 3.2km.
Initially the run was 22.4km. But at the starting when all the runners were still at their first rounds, a tree fell right on the running path. That had created a time division between two groups as one half continued running whereas the latter had to wait for a path to be cleared. I was in the latter, and eventually we managed to crawl beneath the fallen branch thanks to a few guys stopping and helping us by clearing the way. By the second round, about 200 metres were blocked off due to the fallen tree.
After that I continued my little night run. Rounds one to five were alright. I kept getting overtaken lol. But I kept to a constant pace within my ability. About the sixth round, the temptation to stop appeared. But despite my screaming quads I still managed to the seventh round without halting. About a hundred metres to go, I sprinted. Bagged 7th over 14 placings in the women category.
All in all, it was pretty alright as this would be my second long run (: I was humbled by the experience.
