SOFT-WEEK : Will You Stop ?
>> Monday, December 22, 2008
This event was inspired by a true event happened to my colleague a few weeks back while he was participating in Standard Charter Marathon Run (sorry bro, got to borrow your incident for this week's scenario).
It started off with a causal conversaton over lunch where he shared with us on what he did over that weekend. He wasn't too satisfied with his timing (5 hrs xx mins for 42KM run !!!!) as compared with the previous year. So I asked further, what could have been better or rather, what causes the decline in performance ?
Well, that's where the fun begin when he elaborate further on what causes the delay. 2 hrs into the run, suddenly, his stomach felt bad as if a tornado is whinning inside. At the same instance, he felt the tsunami is at the tip of his asshole, any further attempt to hold will result in undersireable consequences. Knowing the danger is just a fart away, without further ado, he dashed to the nearest toilet along East Coast Park and that cost him additional 12 mins !!! For once, I was wondering how the hell he managed to shit and pant at the same time, must be challenging enough !
Anyway, that reminds me of one incident that happened sometime in June this year. There was a marathon runner in LA who faced similar situation. However, he did not let that situation rob him of any additional minutes, instead, he controlled the situation by "uncontrolling" himself !!! Gosh !!! What a mess :)
So the scenario of the week, who's action will you choose ? Stop or continue running ?

Just to give you an idea on how bad it was
