The last two day we participated in a sports competition at the Siem Reap; this competition involved two types of sports Biking and Running. For biking, there are three options 17 Km, 37 Km, and 110 Km; I was doing the 37 Km bike race. Two days competition takes place at Angkor Thom temples, and there were a lot of participants. It was a really powerful experience for me to ride the bike and enjoy the beauty of Angkor Wat. The path was really challenging and some parts of the path aren’t challenging; there was a path that crosses the jungles and temples. In the end, it took me about 2 hours to finish it.
Yesterday at the same station there also a half Marathon run but I’m actually doing the 10 Km run. It was a very busy race from my estimation there were about 10 thousand runners in total. There was a variety of runners, western, Asian, family, and people with disability. It took me about 3 minutes in order to get to the front row when we ran. The distance was a bit longer than where we practice (we spent about 2 or 3 months in training). After 5 Km for me, I was very tired while I ran this guy comes and motivate me and comforted me; I then take that motivation to motivate to this stranger runner who about to give up so I just run with me until the end of the run. I learned that if one start the other will start too. Throughout the whole run, I did run the whole time without stopping; my final time was about 50 minutes which bring me to the top 100.
