It has come to this then - Bandar Kinrara became the witness to my worst performance in a running race, ever. Even politicians didn't let me down this hard. So, let me just sum up the Newton Challenge Malaysia in a few handy points.
1. Baguette and butter alone IS NOT ENOUGH for a breakfast. Carb-loading a few days prior has got nothing on running with an empty stomach feeling.
2. Never take your race preparation easily. If it's a 25km run, then you have to prepare like it's a 25km run, and not a kid's dash.
3. Bananas make excellent immediate post-race food, especially when you are found starving. It's worth it to spend a bit more on really good bananas. Those sold at the night market are of the inferior kind.
That's that, then. Otherwise, for a disappointing outing, the finisher's medal is totes awesome.
At least next time around I can brag to others, saying: "Hey, I have a Newton shoe, and it's wicked metal."
