Half marathon
Completed a half marathon on Sunday morning at the 350 run, finished in a pb of 2hours 4min 12sec. Ran a consistent race almost through out the course. This is an improvement of about 9 mins over my previous best. Started in the middle of about 4 thousand runners at about 6.15 am, at a slow pace of probably 7 min per km. I was comfortable running a slow pace, I was actually thinking its a long race, take it slow and pick up the pace as the race progress. I was feeling good the first 3 to 4 km, reaching 5km in 28min 47 sec. I though to myself, good progress, lets keep a comfortable pace. The next 5 km was smooth for me, not fast, about 6 to 6.15 per km. I hit the 10 km mark in 58m 14 sec. The 11 km mark was around the Singapore Indoor Stadium, it was about 1hr 4min plus. Still feeling good at about 14 km mark at the Nicoll highway, but started to feel a little tired. I was comtemplating whether I should pop a pack of gel, but resisted as I have not seen anyone doing so.
