Another '1st' to add to MooMoo's Diary for year 2011. MooMoo just completed her 1st Vertical Marathon this morning. Vertical = climbing stairs, going up and up all the way... ^=^
This 'National Vertical Marathon' is organized by NTU Sports Club. NTU = Nanyang Technology University in Singapore.
This is the building that MooMoo climbed... 63 floors all the way to the rooftop. It was quite tiring... and MooMoo thought she was quite FIT... but after today, she's really NOT FIT... gosh, it was not only tiring and dizzy going round and round the stairs all the way up... but if she go any faster, she finds it difficult to breathe properly... maybe coz it's stuffy and not used to climbing stairs. Hahaha.. and it's quite boring at the stairways...
This is the starting point... all waiting to flag off... they flag off each team at an interval of 2 minutes to avoid traffic jam at the stairways. It was very well organized with all the marshalls at the stairways and drinking points along the way.
They have motivation quotes and even advertisements along the stairways to keep the climbers going... and entertained... hahaha... MooMoo like this quote the most....
MooMoo was sooo HAPPY when she saw number 60... 3 more floors to go... she was sweating like mad and breathing hard... hahaha... along the way, she keep hearing people breathing so hard... like getting asthma attack... and that person is just a young fella. 
At last... when MooMoo reached the rooftop...she was so relieved... to have FRESH AIR!!! This is a picture she took from the top... but the sun was shining so brightly... she didn't really get to take much pictures coz she can't open her eyes... hahaha...
Luckily, MooMoo and team do not have to run all the way down from the rooftop... haha... we took lift all the way down. After that, MooMoo went around playing games. There were 5 stations altogether....
1st Station: Catch fishes with tissue paper.... MooMoo took awhile catching the 2 fishes... the fishes kept swimming away from MooMoo... haha...
2nd Station: Archery... MooMoo likes this a lot... did this like ages ago when in secondary school... fun activity but not cheap... =p
3rd Station: Bowling using coconut... some guys are real good at it... they even STRIKE... haha..
4th Station: Bungee jump - Basketball with Angry Birds... quite fun... they tie you up and you run as near as you can to try and dunk the angry bird in the net... haha...
5th Station: Games station... Wii and some new Motion Games... think MooMoo's nephews would love this station LOTS... the organizer are very creative to come up with all these games to entertain the climbers.
Lastly, MooMoo went to collect her goodies bag and left the place. The goodies bag is quite nice...got lots of free stuff from the sponsors... Well, at least MooMoo had FUN!!!
MooMoo liked the Finisher Medal a lot... at least it's not some cheapo medal... MooMoo think that this is sooo much better than the BEST FRIEND RUN.... =pThumbs Up for the NTU Sports Club for organizing this Vertical Marathon 2011!! ^=^
* MooMoo really gotta rest her poor knees... especially her RIGHT knee... BUT really feel like going to her FAV Step class tomorrow night... OK, I will rest them after tomorrow... only 1 Step class for this coming week... hahaha...
