Red Bull 400 Titisee-Neudstat 2021 Race Summary
Heat 2 - 1.12pm. There were a total of 13 Heats (Male), 2 Heats (Female) with each heat up to 50 participants and with a gap of 12 min. The winner of each heat auto Q to Final and next 37 fastest will be q into Final as well.
I was pretty confident on getting into the final, and during the heat, my main objective was to understand the course better, find out the best lane to go up and win the heat to secure the Final Run. The course were wet due to the rain two days ago, the grass at some part are long and deep in. Best is to stay on the part where the grass were short and you can see the mud as it provide more grip.
Took a sachet of Mitoceps an hour prior to my run. I was trying not to go fast but there were one guy ran pretty fast from the start. So I decided to keep a close contact with him and waiting for him to slow down 😅
Indeed after the first 200m mark, I got him and ran past him then got into a steady pace. He stayed right behind me and I continue the same pace and crossed the finishing line first with a time of 4:53 min.
Throughout the run, I was so happy to hear the cheer from the spectators, saying "Go Malaysia". The emcee mentioned few times about my name and from Malaysia as a towerrunner.
After the heat, I went down to the resting zone and did a cold down jog and quickly change and had light lunch provided by the organizer.
Met new friends and we have great chat. There were one female runner came and asked me for some tips and I shared with her some tips. We were have a conversation about the race course and how we can improve it in the final.
After that, I took a 30 min nap with Edifier W820NB on and listen to instrumental music, and with TK sleep mask. To be honest, before this event, I felt mentally exhausted after all the traveling here and there and competitions. It was really tough to go through this stage, where the mind is no longer ready to race. Didn't have enough rest plus traveling with a 3 wheels luggage 😂
