(checkpoint 1 was jungles - i would say pretty tough trails ~ for me though.. hehs) it was much better after dat.. i started to pick up after all de waterfall & abseiling.. abseiling down was scary cuz i havent been doin it.. worst still right beside a waterfall.. and how much i hate swimming in de water.. it was damn scary.. wat make matter worst i was stuck wif de rope.. de rope got caught into my figure of 8.. stuck + strong current + hungryness + tiredness = extra strength (juz to get me thru de waterfall to steppable ground.. haha) at de point tink we were top 5 but subsequently i lost count.. lost my very first "soul" after de waterfall + streams.. tks to sam's tiny string, i manage to patch my "soul" back & get my soul running again.. trust me, at this point, i was really fighting for a top 3 positions.. wishful thinking cuz i didnt know de teams ahead of us were really very AHEAD of us.. guess it's de process of de race dat counts.. next come de most challenging part - roller-blading.. this not-so-can-skate-well-babe-who-wanna-prove-dat-she-can-skate-skates.. yes, tragic came.. following closely behind ben.. approaching my 1st slope.. c'mon diana, give it a try.. ok.. KAKBOOM!! (police siren right behind) i cldnt stop de moment i came to de slope, i juz went faster n faster ( scarier & scarier).. my legs opened up.. "diana close ur legs" "i cant" "you are goin to fall, quick grass patch" (dat was wat i saw ben was trying to do) "got cars parked on my right, a hut on my left, where u wan me to go" "stupid gal, juz go forward & fall" ~ diana's right brain talking to her left brain.. bimbotic conversation.. haha.. yes, i fell: on my butt, tilt sideway, glide down de slope on my left shoulder blade before i come to stop.. end result= multiple holes on my new-pink-super-cute-jersey --> sad.. not forgetting abt scratches on my new-purpleish-studded-rocer-blade.. (guess wat did our dear mr ben said after de race, faster go take ur blades and see if de diamonds are still intact - tks for de reminder, uncle ben..) anywae after de CRASH, ben shouted: remove ur blades & run.. i totally agree with dat sentence cuz jon who ran with his blades was no where to be seen.. u know y? cuz he had surpass us.. haha.. dat CRASH was scary enuff to put me off my blades.. thank god i did dat cuz i cant imagine wat wld happen if i dun for dat's far too many other slopes ahead.. in de end, de super steep slope at de end became a non-blading zone.. it's pretty waste of time to take off & put back ur blades.. i started running wif my blades, it was quite a distance but i ran really slow cuz after like more than 15mins, ben & jon were no where in sight.. i seriously haf no idea where did these two guys went.. i started running 2nd half of de route first cuz i know they cld catch up wif me.. i kept turning my head but was greeted wif disappointment cuz more n more teams r passing me.. when i was finally reaching de checkpoint, jon came "ben left his camelbak at de last checkpoint" haha.. ben was too excited abt blading dat he forgot his camelbak.. haha.. anywae i did smthg bad.. i carried jon's blades so dat he can run more carefree.. but when i turn up at de checkpoint, de officials were like, "omg, u r damn strong, to carry 2 pairs of blades to run" *on cloud nine already* haha.. i rested really long der cuz i practically was able to run de last phrase of de race.. haha.. hydration salts+power gel+water+rest+yokoyoko=ENERGY (diana's theory.. anywae i'm famous for bringing yoko yoko, trust me, it's useful & easy to apply..) up next: bamboo rafting.. this is where i lost my 2nd "soul".. i gave up on them.. cuz clinging onto my souls, i cldnt help ben & jon in any way to move de raft better & faster.. dragonboaters r always dragonboaters.. we found de best way to manuveour and we overtook 4-5 teams but not of de same category as us.. this is how u shld do it: one coxwain - uncle ben and two front rowers- jon & me.. haha.. balancing our weight in front to move away frm de rocks.. super efficient.. anywae i ran de last part of my race souless hence i was named de gal who lost her souls after de race.. anywae i muz really thank ben & jon for bringing me along for de race, no grudges frm them even though i slowed de team in many ways.. ur encouragement+jokes+fun+persistent+help= me completing de race.. seriously after eco-X, i was more enthu & motivated to do more race since i came back..
