Race Report Singapore Marathon 2012
Like many keen runners, I have been preparing for the 2 Dec 2012 marathon for about 6 months. I completed at least 1 long run of 20km almost every week since June, including 5 actual half marathon races, including 4 longer run of at least 30km, with the longest at 33 km. Achieved 3 half marathon pb and pb for the full marathon. Before the SCSM, I was hoping to run close to 4 hr 30min and also excited about running in the actual race. I told myself to keep claim and run a steady race. Set my alarm to 2.45 am, but I became fully awake only at 3 am. I quickly had my breakfast of bread with peanut butter and coffee, clear my bowel and bath. Took a taxi at 4.15 and reached the start point at mandarin gallery at 4.30 am. Walked all the way from the start point to the entry point, as start pen are all barricaded. Can feel the excitement of the runners around me, anxious to see how they perform after months of dedicated training. I think real runners are always anxious to see improvement
