Things are getting serious at Bukit Aman with the KL International Marathon only 3 weeks away. There were fewer jokes flying around and everyone running today meant business.
My planned experiment on where to pin the Powergels did not happen. Last night I pinned the gels but this morning I discovered the gel was leaking from the pin holes. Scratched experiment#1.
Experiment #2 also did not pan out. Yong thought we running quite fast. We were; we reached the Petronas petrol station at Sri Hartamas in 59 minutes. We did not stop immediately but continued further down, running uphill behind a playground and back to the petrol station to run another 1 km.
A few minutes rest, a drink of Gatorade and we started to run back to Bukit Aman. This time, Jamie was running with us. The return trip was just as fast as first 10km. Just 2 km away from Bukit Aman 1(1 hr 46 minutes) ; I got into problems; #1 = wanted to shit badly, #2 = left groin was hurting and #3=left knee was also painful. I had to stop running and walked the rest of the way to Bukit Aman.
Reached Bukit Aman in 2 hrs 06 minutes. I certainly hope that not all of the 3 problems will occur simultaneously during the marathon.
Next Sunday will be my final long run (30 km) before tapering.
