"Even the way you tie your shoes is intense!"

Remember the day when...

• you woke up an hour before sunrise roaming around Singapore trying to get to a race on time?
• you finally found a taxi but he didnt know where he was going?
• you ran a 10km race in 40 degree heat + humidity?
• you shoved and slid through the other sweaty bodies who were running annoyingly slow?
• you bathed in the sink of a handicap washroom stall?
• the only notes you took during church that morning were "If the Lord Jesus needs my tugboat, then He can have my tugboat!"
  
• you tried running up the down-escalator and had a shrieking fall?
• your feet kept cramping?
• you ventured to the SG-Malaysia train station- not to go anywhere but just to eat good Malaysian food?
• you wore jeans in 40 degree heat + humidity?
• you drank 4 L of water in 6 hours?
• you got to rest in an aircon cafe with good friends on a couch?
• you learnt about linear transformations in Algebra?

I remember that day especially since my knee is bruising and hurting from the escalator fall as I write this!

The race was FUN! I wasn't nervous this time - just excited. It was killer hot though. And just a note on race etiquette from yours truly... if you have to stop and walk - don't walk in a row with all your friends. Or better yet... MOVE THE HECK OVER! I definitely bumped through many people -sometimes on purpose. Normally, I'd keep elbows in and squeeze through. But if you're being annoying and in the way, then it was elbows out - I'm barging through. I'd always say "excuse me" while bumping through...which makes it better, right?!
