Effort=Results | Tuesday, December 16, 2008
Based on the past few events/happenings. We can say that in order to achieve good results. A certain degree of effort has to be produced.
Just like my very 1st marathon. I had came back within 6hrs, From my very own timing.. It can be said to be quite a good result. As there still people making their way back. Why would I say to achieve results effort has to be in.
Due to the laziness in me.. I never trained enough for this 42km. So along the way for my 42km, Im getting cramps, sore feet, mental fatigue. So for 2009 marathon, I will get myself ready and prepared. For the time of sub 5hr.
The other event for the effort shall be my studies. Well, I know for myself. Im very lazy to study, Yet still got to study. Thus I took up the degree in Construction Management. Along the Semester... I slack, slack and more slack.
So the roller coaster ride is going down n down. From the potential 1st class hon. To basically a pass deg after sem 4. At that point of studies. I was totally off.. Imaging in class surfing net, sleeping. Then revision for exams.. Came just the day before. So got some low grades which pull everything down.
Thats goes the same to working life. In order to get the work done To say the 8hr of working time. I guess most people are able to do so, With a specific task or objective. 8hrs can say to be 480mins
People complain that they cant get the work done. Then why not staying back for a few more hr to get it done. Or just to say it all due to their attitudes? How about an example of NO TIME
Let say.... 8.30am you should be reporting to work, But company is gracious enough to give you 10mins more. So you came in @8.40am You drag your tired leg, pulling your expensive bag across the walkway. By the time you reach your desk. Its already 8.45. Make your daily coffee, have your breakfast. On your PC. By this time, can say to be 9.15 Flipping thru some documents. And act to start on it. Smoking break @ 10am.
Return @ 10.30 after some little chats.. When wanna start on it. Walk around to seek for lunch companions.. By the time back to desk. 11am So perhaps from 11 to 12.30pm There is a possibility of work done. Cos from 12.30 to 1pm.. Its just getting ready for the lunch break.
2pm to return from lunch. But delay another 15mins or so. Went up and complain ate too much. Slack awhile 2.30 30mins of working.. Then another smoking break 3.30 back to work or another round of chat. Plus a little excuse of tea-break. By the time it end. 4.30 1 more hr to off work. You rush to clear, or just put aside to tml. Clear = big shit as mistake all around. Wait = Bigger shit as tml there is more shit.
Since there will be shit. So use the last hour to surf net. Make phone call to friend. Arrange dinner gathering.. Whoa.. what an eventful person..
5.30 came. Team in charge check on result. And the reply.. Not enough time. In-charge whack him.. Then tale tat in-charge no helpful. Claim to have more scope of duties on hand. So cant finish up.
WAIT... Its not on putting the blame to whoever.. Base on the little calculation of effort hrs.. It seem that only the most 1hr of effort. 1hr of effort everyday for an 8hr of effort, Where in this world can people complete his task.
After reading this. Some may feel that Im writing on them. Then I can say so sorry and thankful. Cos at least you know you are the one. As a friend. I would hope you will change. As a nobody. I would say.. Good Job.
Btw, 10mins allowance for late coming is an estimation that he came on the dot. What if..... He reaches at .. say 10am.. please calculate.
Roger so far.. Cos SY said so..

Standard Chartered Marathon 2008 | Monday, December 08, 2008
7 Dec 2008 Had to wake up very early to prepare for this run. But still couldnt miss the Man Utd match against Sunderland. So got to wale up at 1.30am for the match. When I just sleep like 3 hours ago.
Woke up.. relax and watch the match. While starting to pack the neccessary items for the run. The bibs, championship chip, running tee, sunglass and more.. 3.30 match ended. Had a bath and getting prepared to meet danny and haamat. 4.00 left and going over to marina square. Upon reaching there, There's already alot of people going over.
4.20 reached marina square. Got into a nice parking lot. So took my little breakfast. Did some stretching and applying some muscle ache cream.. Now all ready to experience the 42km..
5.30 the event start Before I can get the the starting line. Due to the huge number of people.. 15000 participant for 42km.. The invited guest has already completed 3km.
Reached the 10km mark by 1hr 10min. Which I'm already at around East Coast Park. By the time I reach the 11km mark. The no. 1 was already on the 30km.
2hr 40plus min reached the 21km. The timing is about 20mins better than what I did for the AHM. And along the way.. Saw Junxiong and Kelvin Seet (my vietnam trip kakis) And then Yude (my poly classmate)
Then I took about 1hr 20min more to clear 9more km.. A total of 4hr to do 30km.. By this time.. There is alot of people stretching. Applying lots of deep heat on their calfs and thighs..
Left the last 12km.. Guess this is the worse part for everyone. As we are onto the road again. Facing the not so hot sun for this very moment. Its already 9.30am.. Got to survive another 1hr or 2hr depend on how you wanna do it.
If you walk base on 100meter per min. You can complete it at 2hr time. So there isnt much pressure to do it. Half run half jog whenever possible will help shorten the timing. Upon reaching the 35km mark. My leg start aching and my feet is in pain. Damn.. never trained so kinda high now.
5km more to go and I'm already over 5hr. Gonna put some pace into the pain Im getting. Saw Rohizad (ITE classmate) along beach rd. Leg feeling jelly now.. 4more to go.. still I believe I can do it in 6hr.. Jog, walk, jog, walk.. Now I left with onli 2km more. So pick up my dying leg and go for it.. Slow jog will bring me in before 6hr mark.
The last 200meter.. This run is coming to an end. Did my run back slowly. So not to pull my muscle again. And I reached. 5hr 50min from my watch. So plus minus my timing should be around there.
The kinda satisfaction and agony is there.. Completed my very 1st marathon. Armed with aches and pain all over. It has indeed one of my memorable achievement. To see that about 8mths ago. I would dread on taking my 2.4km (IPPT) every year. Cos running long distance seem a torture to me. Yet now I had done 42km..
So this year I had did. SCM, AHM, Nike-human race and passion run. 42, 21 and 10km. After 1 day of rest. My leg didnt ache as much. Perhaps next year if Im taking part. Shall do more training. To do a better timing below 5hr30min for 42km 2hr30min for 21km and 1hr for 10km.
Or to say.. Talk is very easy thing to do. You can say participate this, join that. In the end when you never do it. Means you never experience before. Or to say.. Its just plain talking..

My Previous Post | Tuesday, December 02, 2008
Seem like the few previous post has all been on bicycles. Perhaps it will not interest alot of people. Maybe switching back to the old style of writing. To blog on feelings.. To blog on events.. Or to blog on people..
Actually theres alot to blog about. But sometimes just couldnt get the feeling out. So there isnt much updates as before. So now Im back.. To blog on more thrilling stories.. Or to blog on some real life dramas.. And maybe some highlights on working experience. Lastly on Life..
Roger so far.. Cos SY said so..
