ECP- 24km

supposing to be the lonest LSD before Tokyo, K arrange for the LSD to be at ECP, starting from F2 to Changji village, thru and fro 28km + mac donald = 36km.

woke up today, feel fine initally with the expected tired legs from yesterday bike. I drag myself to ECP. reached quite late today, as i changed to my shoe, the group had already gather for the briefing.

start off the run at about 545am. intially, the leg is strong quite fresh, but i knew i am in no condition to go any faster, if i wanted to last the distance, i run at a slow paces. while reaching the last toilet out of ECP, the gang do not stop, but i had to top up my bottle. i tried to catch up with terence and joanna, as they are the only ones i could see. trying to pick up the paces, but the leg doesnot seem to react. i knew it is going to be a tough run for me. finally able to catch up with the gang at the start of the coastal road when they stop for head count. they continue to power on, i continue to stuggle. I could see the rest begin to distance away from me, i unable to catch up, i cruising at my paces. no good, especially so early into the run, my leg is already at cruising mode. looking at my watch, it said 9.2km, i decided to stop a while for a drinks and i saw raven at the side, he is waiting for me? i signal to him that i am not well and please tell the other i am u turing eariler and the coastal toilet, he continue on, where i slowly pushed on.

while reaching into the t junction, i am unable to see anyone, i continue my way, when i saw the toliet. looking at my watch, 12.8km, i u turn. coming back to the road, luckily, the sky is still dark and cooling. at this time, i do a walk a jog back to the start line, where my hips is getting painful, sometime gashing for air and my leg felt like i had done a marathon. while turning into the ECP yatch club, I meet up with terence, i try to pace him back to the start pt, but had to give up after a while. finally i reached the start pt in 3hrs.

distance: 24.8km
time:3hrs
average: 7.5-8km/hr
rumble: i should had stay in bed

reached home, after lunch, i took my medicine, nap until 3pm. wake up, still feeling weak. aiyo. this week, i shall decar 1 week leave from all phyiscal activities :) dun wanna be sick when CNY and Tokyo trip is just around the corner.
