MooMoo completed her 1st Half Marathon ^=^

This is MooMoo's 4th run in year 2011 and her 1st Half Marathon. MooMoo had run for 5km, 6km, 10km, 12km, 15km, 21km, 25km and 30km. The number with most hits is 10km. Soon, will try 16.8km, 18km... and hopefully 42km soon. Don't think MooMoo's knees will survive past 42km. Hahaha.

This year's 2011 Adidas Sundown Marathon was good BUT too bad MooMoo reached late due to the bad traffic jam. She was stuck in the bus since 7pm till 8pm++. She and friend decided to stop halfway to walk to the starting point without realizing that they are still a bit far off... which made them walked for 2-3km before they started running their 21km. = ((

Didn't even get to take much pictures this year though they have a lot of activities at the event place. After the run, everyone was rushing to catch their midnight bus. MooMoo ended up reaching home around 1am++ and ate her late night supper around 2am.

MooMoo's target for the run was 2 hour 30 mins but it was 10 mins later. She started off quite fast for the 1st 5km but slowed down so much towards the last 10km. She took more than 10 mins to complete the last 1km coz feeling real tired already.

Anyway, MooMoo's HAPPY with her timing since she didn't train much for it.

2011 Adidas Sundown 21km Results: 02:40:28s

It's really about 'Perseverance' and 'Endurance' towards the end of the finishing line.


* MooMoo thinks that the 2XU compression tights really works... it helps a lot in recovery and maybe a little in performance as well. MooMoo's calves and hamstrings didn't hurt that much compared to her 1st 25km run the week before.... Thumbs Up for the expensive tights!!! haha... ^=^
