Perceptions are the truth

I havent seen the official timing but i reckoned i lost to the 40 year old oldman.
Im gutted. Serious. At 30, im a decade younger and in the prime of my running career. After a detailed analysis of my race while facebooking with my friends earlier... im offering the following as an explanation of the very poor run.

1) The very new and heavy asics shoes.
Compared to my previous NB shoes.. they weigh a ton. But alas, i never did run this fast in those NB shoes...

2) The Ba Kut Teh and Sushi dinner i had yesterday.
I was told to carbo load. The very smart me figure that what better way to carbo load than to eat rice... lots of it and i topped it off with fatty chunks of pork ribs and fatty salmon sashimi.

3) The Bonjour Bread breakfast.
Told joyce to buy gardenia liao. Enough said.

4) H TWO O.
Told joyce to buy 100 plus (which incidentally is the official sports drink for AHM) but she brough H TWO O. Enough Said.

5) Picking up PKH.
PKH needed a lift.. and that extra ounce of energy to drive to his house could have cost me my race.

Oh well... Old Man, see you at SCM. I'll quit running if i lose again. Humph!

Whiny.
