the ultra-marathon weekend part 2
we had less than a week to recover from our sleepless weekend, in order to support our friends in the ultra-marathon last weekend. reservations were made in the middle of the week for a carbo load session the day before the ultra. that was the first time i had a huge pizza, thrice the size of my face.
peperoni pizzeria – saucisson + hawaiana
besides the pizza, we ordered a main each, which i’d managed to finish only half of the lasagne. a generous serving of beef sandwiched between the layers of pasta.
sleep doesn’t come easy, especially after a heavy dinner and a bloated stomach. we managed to catch a few winks before we were up early to witness the flag off.
we formed the roaming team, stopping along upper thomson road, checkpoints one, three and four, to capture the moments of the ultra-marathoners. unlike one group who supported the runners with food and drinks along one of the pit stops, we managed with cans of coke, isotonic drinks and ice-cream in our humble cooler box.
it was fun and an enjoyable journey, despite the bad headache i experienced while following 小妹 through her run. however, i doubt i can survive through another sleepless night, for more than 1 weekend in a row.
