The desire to complete Six Foot Track next year have been shattered. So angry at myself that I mixed up the dates. Always thought the 28th of November was a Saturday. That was when entries were open. When I realized Friday was the 28th, I checked the website and.... all entries were sold out!!! It was only 12pm. When I checked Facebook, I came to realize that entries were all sold out with 15 minutes. WOW!! Didn't know it was that popular.
Felt very disappointed as I ran that marathon with the main intention to qualify for Six Foot Track. And now, I need to wait till another year. Probably in 2-3 years time. It is still on the bucket list. But it means I need to keep running marathons to make sure I still qualify for it.
On a brighter note, as least that marathon time still did not go to waste. I can use it to sign up for London Marathon 2016. Fingers cross it does not sell out on me again!
Well, looks like I need not train so hard now for this Six Foot Track. Perhaps it's a sign for me to say I should focus more on my last season of dragonboat. Perhaps it's a sign saying I'm not ready for Six Foot Track, I need more trail run experience before Six Foot Track. It is afterall the toughest marathon in Australia.
Time to look for other trail runs. Chin up, and keep moving :)
