Wobbly legs. Sweating like a pig. Thigh muscles stiff like a piece of wood.
73 storeys. 1336 steps. 15 minutes 44 seconds. I CONQUERED the Vertical Marathon!
It really wasn't easy. By the 25th storey, I felt like just catching the hotel lift back down already. But no guts no glory man! If a 79 years old grandpa can make it up, there's no reason why I can't! So I forced myself to keep going, motivated to overtake as many people as possible (but there were many whom overtook me too.. haha!)
It really takes alot of perseverance to reach the top ....
Perseverance is when there are people constantly overtaking you. And you are left wondering if you are really that lousy? Perseverance is when the air circulation is not really that good, with "fragrance" of sweat, puke and staleness filling the air! Perseverance is when you have every valid reasons to give up.. the searing muscle aches and shortness of breathe! But I don't come this far just to give up!
Perseverance is determination to FINISH STRONG no matter what obstacles come along the way!
[Up next.. the Standard Chartered Marathon on 3rd December!]
