During my 2 months holiday, been just sitting at home and
shake legs, really in a total rest condition. I suddenly found out 1 race event
near my house. So, just fine for me to join the race to test my stamina as the
prizes quite good, got cash prizes from placing no 1 –no 20. For real, I have
joined so many events but I never attend myself to pick up the bib no and
t-shirts, never. For this event, my parent helped me to pick up the goodies
pack. Without any training, but I still hope to get on podium.
1 September 2012, early in the morning, my parent fetch me,
we departed from home at 5am to Sungai Petani (SP). The venue was at Dataran
Zero, Jam Besar Sungai Petani. I think this is the 1st time held
this SP Half Marathon, quite a lot participants took part in this event.
As I mention, I didn’t g for training, I think this was the
event I perform the worst. At the starting 20mins, I already tired and walked,
then continue again my journey, that time I’m just thinking when will this 21km
going to finish. Feel like wanna give up only, but with mentally built, I tried
my best to finish my race. Finally, I finished, with timing 2:24:15, very bad
result.

Looking at so many ladies participants took over me, I
totally gave up to get on podium, fine. But you know what happened? When at the finishing line, actually I don’t know where is
the end point, then suddenly people beside the finishing line shouted at person
behind me. At that moment, I don’t know who are behind me and I don’t know the placing
for women. When I’m one more step about to reach, a woman from behind with
super fast speed took over me and then grab the card for placing 20th.
What???? I saw her took the card, at 1st that card should be mine,
I’m just one step behind her, and yet, I’m so far from the podium.
I saw many ladies took over me, I thought I should not have
the chance to win in top 20 anymore, but actually if I speed for the last
moment, I will win. But who knows my fate always just flip beside the wins. So,
for this event, SP Half Marathon 2012, 21km, I get placing 21st.
Fine la, everything already fixed. J
My life used to be like this, this already not the 1st
time, when the winner very strong, then everytime I will get no.2. When the
prizes given until placing no.7, I get no.8. My life always be like that. No
fate to become a real winner, and always slip beside prizes. Haiz.. that is how
my life going on. Although my house got a lot of medals, but most of the medals
are silver colour and other than gold colour. Nevermind la, I’m very generous,
I want to become a winner, but I always let a better winner stands in front me.
Challenge everything to find the best among the strongest.
After this event, I learnt the lesson, must put full speed
to go to finishing line. Well, my next half marathon race will be Penang Bridge
International Marathon 2012 on 18 November.
