Completed my 1st 20km run of 2013 at the ECP this morning with my running buddy. We started the run at 5.55am from our usual  start point at the toilet at Ford Road carpark. Today is the first time I am using my new polar watch the RC3GPS. Seems to have some problem detecting the satellite signal and was only able to detect it near the 8-9  mark. Started slow around 10 km/hr, as my watch was not getting the signal, I just had to depend on my buddy to do the pacing. Felt like we were going quite fast but it was only 10.4 to 10.7 km/hr. reached the turning point at about 56 min. After turning around, I felt better but try to control pace. My buddy told me that I always tend to run fast after turning around and ask me to try to maintain a even pace, to con serve energy for later.

I just try to maintain 11 plus km/hr for the last 2 km and push it up further to 12plus km/hr for last 200m ...

Began to feel a little tired, but still OK, try to relax and just run. But my lack of training began to be obvious, getting more and more tired. When I reached the 26km mark, can start to feel a little bit of cramp in my thigh area even after consuming salt tablet. I can see the white streak of sweat flowing down my thigh, meaning my body was not absorbing the salt. This stretch of East Coast Parkway seems like its never ending, but finally reach the banana station which is about 29 km. Eat the banana and began to run slowly again after walking for a while. I know that to go below 5 hours, I cannot afford to walk too much. Leaving behind ECP, its the long a...
