PAR Mixed Relay #1 with

9pm on Wednesday. Almost completing my 10k on the tready and received a message to fill in as a replacement. Said yes. After week in, week out of threshold work, changed the next day’s long threshold to intervals to sharpen up the legs. Felt heavy, but still had some pop in my strides. Cred to weeks of plyometric work from .studio 👍🏻

A day before, downloaded the GPX file and set the PacePro to 10:40 (3:23min/km), ambitious. Will try. Sunday morning, had 2 slices of bread, black coffee, and mixed pre-workout (Applied Nutrition Pump + Creatine .my) in a small bottle to sip before flag-off.

Flagged off, strode up to the first climb. Reminded myself to stay calm and use the whole 10 mins smartly. First climb done, claimed first blood at the second climb. Kept going, probably overtook one or two more. Two more at the front, ahead by 50 meters (ish). No more gears. Now just holding on to look good for the cameras. Passed the baton, and the next two runners put in another effort to claim a first-place finish.

First road race of the year, sweet result. Thankful for the opportunity and the trust that I can still contribute

Thank you Pacemaker for organising it outside of fasting month so we don’t have to count how many hours left before breaking fast 😅 and congrats for everyone who took part.
