This entry is late. But I guess that goes without saying. I had actually written another one long long ago about mock aq but somehow I didn't publish it. Can't really remember why... (Ya. That long ago. xD)
Mock AQ was tiring. I mean after 1 whole day of school, a track and field meet (which I more or less ponned, with excuse bwahahaha, but thats besides the point), the 50 odd km thing was urghh... After the rather short running leg I was more or less already a walking zombie. (Yea. Walking in the running leg. xD We ran also lar, but @ the last part ran out of steam)
The red bull and food @ RI helped abit tho, and I felt quite revitalized for quite some time. But the biking route and long and... Ok fine, it was only long. And after hours upon hours of cycling I personally was more or less spent. I spent most of the return journey cycling in a sleepy half-awake eyelids-drooping trance...
Ya I noe that the real thing itself wouldn't take place in the middle of the night when everyone is already tired out, but still... Mock AQ was just 50 odd km, and AQ itself is 75. And that this 75 would take place under the scorching energy sapping sun. Food for thought. >.<
But I must say that the route rocked. From Kembangan we made our way along the EW Line to Paya Lebar, then to some temple at Aljunied Road, to some bus stop a some avenue in Hougang, then to Bartley road near Maris Stella and MI, then to Yio Chu Kang there nearing Rosyth, then back to RI through Boundary Road. And thats just the running leg. It was like a walk down memory lane for me... I got to see my old house, old schools, old kindergarden etc etc...
And so ended the last real hike.
