(At the event ground and cert of achievement)
Just after the Safari Zoo Run on 7 Feb 2009 evening, I went for the NTU National Vertical Marathon the next day on 8 Feb 2009 without much rest. I did not expect that I am going to participate in 2 events within 2 days. But in the end, still manage to complete both event.
This year’s National Vertical Marathon was still held at the Republic Plaza near Raffles Places MRT station. As usual, participants can only climb up 60 storeys of this 66 storey building. This time round, KT joined me in the race again and we registered in the same detail for the race. At the starting point, I took out my handphone and suddenly thinking of taking a video of the race. As the race started, I started recording the video of the race as I climb up the stair in the journey up the 60 storeys. The video is a bit shaky during the process. U know why lah.
After climbing for about 10 storeys, I started to find it a bit tiring to hold my hp to record the video while climbing the stair and every scene seem the same, steps and steps and nothing to record, so decided to stop the video and concentrate with my race. This year’s result not so good, finished about 14+min, slower than last year timing, perhaps due to lack of training and age catching up…
After that KT and I took some photos at 60th storey before taking lift down to collect our goodie bags and played some sports side events and getting my first try to the Wii Bowling Game in 1 of the side event booth. Overall, the organizing of this year NVM is still considered not bad. See U at the top next year.
