EPTlast 2 day i have been to a marathon , for those who don't know what marathon is , it is a 42km which is equal to 26.09miles run , being a computer gamer for so long i have never been to a marathon so i wanted to try something fresh and i sign up for early bird which is 6month before the race start so that i can get cheaper price , it cost me 65 Singapore dollar though :D .
so before 1 month i started to train a little , i run about 25km for that 1month LOL , not even 42km yet so you know , i am not really prepared for it.
so at that actual day i reached that place , that marathon is called sundown marathon which means i start the race at 12.30am which is midnight. i am standing there with my friends warming up.
then i am at the starting line already! preparing to jog! btw i am kinda sporty type , i play basketball , soccer etc all kind of sport so i am not totally into gaming so i decide to join 42km instead of 21 or 10 because i think i can do it! so here is the story. As i run , the first 3km is a breeze , i feel nothing , just feel hot because singapore is a humid country , even at night is very hot lol. then as i start to reach 10km i am still feeling alright , my original plan was to hydrate myself @ 21km but @ 13km i am starting to feel dehydrated so i decide to drink 500ml of water straight and i continue to run , @ 17km i started to feel the pain in my knee and ankle so i stopped and the rain start to drizzle , this is the start of the *fun* part .
so at the next hydration station i drank 4 cup of 100PLUS and 1 cup of mineral drink and 1 banana. you can imagine how dehydrating it can be and after a short while the rain get heavier! and literally my earphone which i am using from xsplit 128000bitrate AAC quality become 41000 bitrate SPEEX quality. i was like wtf?!?!? the rain drench the cover of my earphone and i am hearing shit quality music T_T , my leg is very heavy because of the rain , so many water run into my shoe. the rain continue for the next 4 hour STRAIGHT and is heavy rain! the good part about this rain is the temperature instantly go down by a lot and theres lots of wind which is irony because i feel cold when i run and i constantly need to rub away those water in my face.. As i keep running my leg become VERY pain , is no joke i never feel those type of pain before and i wanted to put counter pain cream but i heard from people that the after effect is very bad so i decided not to put. around 25km i start to walk and jog because of my knee cap and ankle pain
i stop about 3 times just to stretch my knee so that it wont feel pain. as i reaching 30+ km a lot of people started to walk so am i because the pain is unbearable ! so i will be uploading my timing and how drench i am after the race pictures ! you can see that the ending i try to give a dumb face =P haha

so conclusion to my post is that if you're not a professional runner or whatever , PLEASE dont join marathon first , start with half marathon so that you will get the feel.
currently i am suffering the after effect , i cant even walk properly , my ankle and knee is fucking hurt whenever i use them and i don't know how long it will take to heal :/ , i kinda regretted but no choice , i already run.
hopefully you enjoy this post
