anlene orchard mile

Sunday. Anlene Orchard mile. at Dohby Ghaut... i think the only race I have taken part as a team with my sister so far...

anyway this race was sponsored by my sunglasses sponsor... SMITH... i gave them 7 names... and my sponsor was running in the same team as me...4 of the girls belong to RedXtreme... and Smith was kind enough to put the team name as Smith-redxtreme... I dun see a prob with this because I felt it was very nice of them! and i appreciate their kind gesture...

anlene orchard mile is a 1.6km event. the last time i ran a 1.6km it was in primary school! i wished that the dot between the 1 and 6 could have been removed to form 16km instead! ahah...

anyway I did ok.. timing of 6min 19 seconds i think... i still cannot forget the feeling i had with running without air most of the time... its so different in the marathon and a mile race...

I got second in the age group.. I could say that I was lucky... and Smith won first in the corporate event and Smith-redxtreme won 3rd for the corporate event.. That was a surprise..
my sister was so happy! never in her life had she gotten first for a race... she was in my team! I FELT PROUD OF HER...she was just a mere 20 seconds behind me!

photos before race
receiving prizesis and me...too tired for a nice pic!

and here's the prize we won! each person a pair of sunglasses... you can choose either reactor max or the factor max... i choose a red reactor max and my sister choose a black one...and I love the reactor max version... and i bought a VTI version for JD... and he was surprised and happy !

anyway i got a info from a coach that this particular coach whom i mentioned in my previous posts... dwelling on my races... has come to complain that why was i racing under smith and why was the team name called redxtreme...

i really wonder.. do they have something better to do than bother about things that are not under their call? can they just keep quiet and accept defeat.

it is much most irritating that everybody wants a piece of you or find fault with you when you are excelling... coach guy told me that... and i agreed...

anyway after anlene mile.. we went to find Fab and the boys at ST mary's church..they had taken part in a race.. 50km road relay with each person running 5km..and they won! the boys are awesome!both team won!
