1 day after the Malaysian Salsa Marathon and I am still tired, my legs felt like it has competed in the Boston Marathon. The Malaysia Salsa Marathon, 14 hours of non stop Salsa Dancing on the dance floor. Truly a Malaysia Boleh feat that was accomplished by a bunch of fanatics.
MiSsMyNx and I stepped into the venue at 8 with the crowd all raring to go but were not allowed to step onto the dance floor yet. At 10.30, the clock was show on the projector and with the speeches over with, the dancers stepped onto the dance floor to get ready, and with 14.00.00 shown, the music started and the dancers danced for their life!
The first dance I had was with MiSsMyNx and as you can see, still fresh and hyper. My clothes are still dry too!
With 7 hours to go, the crowd was still going strong but casulties can also be seen with some participants sitting down to rub down their legs.
As for me, I'm still going strong. As you can see from the picture, I've changed my clothes! Yup, 3rd set of shirt to ensure comfort.
3 hours left and the crowd has thinned considerably as some of the dancers decide to take a quick shut eyes. Hardcore dancers can still be spotted on the dance floor.
I'm still there dancing away, and this time, with my 4th change of clothes. Eye bags start to show on some of the dancers and grumpiness sets in for those who never danced so long before.
An hour more to go! All the dancers are getting fired up again as they see the finishing line in sight. The atmosphere starts to build up again and all thoughts of weariness are put aside.
With the clock ticking down, cam-whoring was not left out as all the dancers wants to have this memorable moment on print. Yours truly didn't want to miss out on that too! and Yes, I might always be behind the camera but occasionally I'd like to appear in front of the camera as well.
With 5 minute on the clock, I took to the dance floor for the final dance with MiSsMyNx and with the final 10seconds being counted down (While we danced), The crowd cheered, Mission Accomplished! The deed has been accomplished! And certificates was handed out.
And I have my certificate to proof that I've done it! Now, I need to go rest my legs...
Oh yeah... pictures! It's never complete for me if i don't put up pictures of the event I attended and you can this one here!
