AHM/SBR

Juz came home from army half marathon in the morning, meetup with the guys at 4.30am, parked at marina sq, proceed towards starting point, they started early today, at 5.22am they flagged off liao. The roads were wide thats the reason why it looked like alot of ppl but when you run it's not as congested as you expect. It was a very gd job by the event organisers, the routes were gd, adequate waterpoints and the water points were very long so they were not congested at all, gd signage, cheerleading, performances, encouragements along the way to help distract the fatigue minds...

It totally changed my view about AHMs, after hearing so much, i joined only to experience running benjamin sheares bridge and i expect not to join again, but this year they haf really proven themselves, even leonard who ran past AHMs was all praises.. It was so much better than Sundown.

Dun know why, marathon distances always seemed longer than our normal training distances seemed to be running so much longer, i didn't need to drink for 21km distance, but see so many 100+ waterpoints, i finally gave in and drank at 14km mark... wah.. its chilled!! Siao liao addicted liao, after that i drank at every waterpoint. Juz before the ending point, pass the 20km point, I cramp again!!! wah lan eh!!! @#$$%^&* WTH!!!! It happened again!! Juz like sundown... what's the matter with me, i didn't haf this problem when i was training... It always happens during the actual run. Dun fucking understand... But this time experienced liao, dun care juz walk fast bear with the cramp till better then run again...

Timing: 2H08min

It was much slower than wat i aimed, abit disappointed... At least it was a gd experience, with eye candy all around while running... Great job to OMP, Muzhong, Roy, Leonard, Ivan, Marcus, Zongren, Mingkiat, Weiye, Lukoo, Alex, CM, DYCM, Junkai, Zhenrui, Puay Kee, Paul (who ran 10km ONLY) . I oso ran into couple of old friends at the padang, Tat Hong, Kelvin Lim Poh Teck, Viktor, Joyce and some familiar faces of regular runners in ECP... Well Done all!!


My number tag and the finisher medal...
