Went for a beep test http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beep_test this morning (24 Nov) to test out and also know where my fitness level is.
Reached National Stadium carpark C and saw BoSe, BabuMouse, Eijaij etc but did not talk to them until before / during and after the test , we introduced ourself.
Philip briefed on how the test works and Wildcat demonstrated.
We started with 2 levels of warming up. I was set to hit level 12 and did not think that it would be too difficult until I hit level 11 shuttle 3 and started to feel exhausted (damn!). Decided to stop at level 11 shuttle 5.
Philip gave an AAR of the results and I got 51.6 % (which is not too bad though) for my age. He also shared alot of info on carbo loading which is esp useful for SCSM this sunday. If all else fails, just remember to drink more Sarsi...
another 6 days to SCSM.... here i come....

MR 35 km (4th Nov)
It's a nice sunday morning while most people are still sleeping, I was on my way to MacRitchie Reservior for the 35km run which would be the longest run I have done for SCSM 07 training.
Though I know my own condition and mileage, I have decided to give it a go at it.
Reaching the destination, was surprised to see so many people. Only to know that the Nike Runaholic participants were there too. Got a BIB no 835 (but can't keep it) went off with the first 10km quite comfortably. The scenary was very nice and it kept me going and going. The route was indeed undulating and full of slopes. Managed to kept pace until the 18km, thereafter was feeling fatigue. Was on my way to the rifle range u-turn point and met the front few runners heading back, damn they were fast! Finally reached the rifle range u-turn point, another 11km to go.
Decided to adopt the walk/run strategy, though it was slow but it ensured that my cramps did not occur (though there were tingling feeling).
Finally after 3 hrs 44 mins , I reached the end point without cramps ! though my legs were aching. Felt very satisfied after the run ... SCSM here I come.
