I had a wonderful fun weekend as the company sent all nationwide staff for the Penang Bridge Run, which had attracted 27,500 runners from all over the world. We practically did not have any sleep from Saturday morning (19th Nov) till this morning (21st Nov)) when we landed back home at 1.15am, but it was a well worth it experience.
As advised by my more experienced colleagues, due to the long hours, it would be wise to buy some milk chocolate or dark chocolate to standby as energy booster in case we get hungry. And that I did but the chocolate of course melted and became very gooey over time. Come to think of it now, I should have bought those tiny little chocolates like Hershey’s kisses which would be easier to eat if they had melted. Ah well, always learn from experience.
Anyway, the bad news was I didn’t even had the chance to participate in the 10km Fun Run because I had gastric before the run started. So, I had to take a cab back to the hotel. It was pretty disappointing as I was looking forward to completing the race. My colleagues who had completed the Fun Run within 1.5 hours were all awarded certificates and medals. What a bummer for me! Positive thoughts…..There’s always next year, right?
