Absence from the SCM 2009

Just a few minutes before the starting of the Standard Marathon Half Marathon 2009 ( SCM 09 - 渣打馬拉松2009 ) I confirmed my absence from the event for the first time since 2004.
The story started after I completed the SSP X-Country Run. I started to have some cough after the race and I did not notice it was a warning signal.

My mild cough contined until Wednesday despite I had eaten some pills already.
I coughed more seriously in the morning on Thursday that I could feel my chest pain. I found the situation was out of control and the first thing come across my head was "bird flu". I immediately reported sick leave and attended a clinic near my home. Luckily I was not having any fever.

After having my medicine I went to sleep. My chest soon gone after releasing of some gas. However the coughing and shivering continued. Despite having two quilts covered over me, I still feel the colderness and shivering continued.

I slept for the whole day which seems like decades already. I continued heard the loud noise of Chinese Lion dancing around. I could not spare any effort to tell them to stop though. I believed I must be very sick at that moment.

If anyone asked me how I felt in the end of that day, I would have answered I felt like having completed two half marathons on the same day.

Apart from the two wheat breads eaten in the breakfast I had my medicine only for the whole day without any hunger feeling.

Now the half marathon had begun and I was writing my own blog in a clearing mind.
Men won't live twice. I guess I know it's meaning now.

i) Lack of training - Apart from attending races, I had four weeks of zero training already.

ii) Wrong choice of clothing and shoes - I wore too much clothes today (long sleeves running tee plus vest topping) almost boiled me up after the long upward slope. My NB running shoes was proved not suitable in trail running in the stoney Boa Pass, which really hurted.

iii) Inadequate sleep - 4 hours sleeping was again proved not enough to me before race Despite the disappointed time, I really enjoyed the race. Another good race held by AVOHK.
