Race Summary of GNR 2021
It was definitely the most wonderful half marathon that I ever did so far. It was cloudy, cooling, little bit of wind at some stretch, great atmosphere with lots of spectators along the way, cheering and supporting us with performances like drums, dance, loud cheers, holding cardboards with motivational quotes and list goes on!
I am so grateful of being able to be the elite category and toe the starting line with Olympians, World Champions, National Record Holders and list goes on!
To be honest, Half Marathon is not my thing at the moment, but I always wanted to run a fast time for this course as my last attempt of this distance was on 5 years ago in Nike We Run KL 21K, whereby I DID NOT FINISH as I collapsed at about 800m before reaching the finishing line. It was due to dehydration and hypoglycemia.
I then went back to 5-10k, sharpen the speed first before attempting another HM and I got into Towerrunning sport in year 2017.
Here we go, after 5 years, while there are not many Towerrunning races, why not give the HM another try. I got confirmation for the slot 6 weeks prior to it and start the training rightaway.
I then got Coach Albert to prescribe me a 6 weeks training program rightaway and did a 5k, 1k and 200m time trial to find out where my current fitness level is.
Juggling between the Towerrunning training, HM program and traveling here and that are not that easy especially during the pandemic time. I clocked a total of about 72km + 1200 floors + 2 weight training sessions weekly for not just the HM but Germany Towerrunning Championship on 29/8.
I started off the race with quite a fast pace and slowly got back into the rhythm. Initially, I was aiming for a Sub 72 min HM (5k - 15:48 | 10k - 33:26). My previous best time was 1:23:59 in Kuching HM 2015 (5k - 17:36 | 10k - 36:42).
After 5k mark, I felt the tiredness, but I tried to still hold the pace. At 10k, until right after we make the U-turn, it was all great still, although I felt the tiredness on my legs already and it was like, half way there!

I have often dreamed 我經常夢想著
Of a far-off place 在那遙遠的地方
Where a hero's welcome 有英雄式的歡呼
Would be Waiting for me 在等待著我
Where the crowds 當所有的人們
will cheer 見到我時
When they see my face 都將為我喝采
And a voice keeps saying 因為我在這裡
This is where I'm 歡呼聲會一直持續著
Meant to be
I'll be there someday 有一天我會在那裡
I can go the distance 我可以奔向遠方
I will find my way 如果我可以更強壯
If I can be strong 我將尋找自己的方向
I know ev'ry mile 我知道每一步
Will be worth my while 在那時都是值得的
When I go the distance 當我奔向遠方
I'll be right where I belong 我將是屬於那裡的
Down an unknown road 面對未知的旅途
To embrace my fate 我步向自己的命運
Though that road 雖然道路
may wander 可能讓我游蕩不已
It will lead me to you 但它將引導我走向妳
And a thousand years 就算上千年的等待
Would be worth the wait 都會變得值得
It might take a lifetime 也許會用掉一生的時間
But somehow I'll see 但不知為什麼
it through 我將會慢慢走過
And I won't look back 我將不再回頭
I can go the distance 我可以奔向遠方
And I'll stay on track 並且停留在軌道上
No, I won't accept defeat 不 我不會被擊倒
It's an uphill slope 雖然它是百般艱難
But I won't lose hope 但我不會失去希望
Till I go the distance 直到我奔向遠方
And my journey is 並且完成我的旅程

glory is the hardest part 的榮耀最困難的地方
For a hero's strength is 是英雄不能失去信心
measured by his heart 因為沒有信心就沒有力量
Like a shooting star 像是閃亮的流星
I will go the distance 我將奔向遠方
I will search the world 我要尋找自己的世界
I will face its harms 我會面對一切的危險
I don't care how far 我不在乎有多遙遠
I can go the distance 我可以奔向遠方
Till I find my hero's 直到我尋獲
welcome 在妳雙臂中等著我的
Waiting in your arms 英雄式歡呼
I will search the world 我要尋找自己的世界
I will face its harms 我會面對一切的危險
Till I find my hero's 直到我尋獲
welcome 在妳雙臂中等著我的
Waiting in your arms 英雄式歡呼

Till I find my hero's 直到我尋獲
welcome 在妳雙臂中等著我的
Waiting in your arms 英雄式歡呼
