I completed my first ever vertical maronton yesterday at the stamford swiss hotel. It is a 73 storey high hotel that held this competition anuually. Before this competition, although i kept saying that i will train first before going for it but in the end, i still did nothing and just took the challenge.
When the competition started, i was thinking of being in the middle of the flag off team so that it will not be too oddward being the last of the first team to be flagged off as there is a lot of reporters around taking photos.
When the horn went off, i and my friends jogged slowily towards the stairs and started climbing. We used less than a minutes to reach the 10th floor and this is where i started to felt that my leg has gone wobby and also the REDBULL i drank earily is sort of stuck in the middle of my chest and that caused me to have difficuities breathing for that few seconds. In the end, I took 16.58 minutes to reach the top of the hotel. Therefore the next year my target will be in getting a timing less than 10 minutes and getting into the top 20.
I will do it and i can do it !
