good run
I had quite a good run yesterday-I went down, and saw a group of dark clouds over me. So, i had to get it done quick. There was this army person just passing me and i decided to keep to his pace. Well, his pace was a bit too fast and as i was approaching the u-turn mark near upp. thomson road, i noticed that my throat-the part of it that is just above the bottom of my neck was feeling super hot inside. Well, i had this before, when i was trying a 2.4 km at ny. I didn't care too much about it and went on to finish my run. After some thinking, i'm now thinking that it may be becouse of eating too much spicy stuff at my lunch, 3hrs before that run. My timing was 1h13mins56secs. Very bad. I've now realised that my leg's stamina gets worse if i don't keep on running...

Singapore marathon-4
I'm feeling the same pains today, but got used to them quite a lot. and YaY! the toolbar is back. I can add pictures and give links: so here goes. click here for an analysis of my race. it should bring you there. It's quite early in the morning, now. My sleep patterns have been disturbed since i slept too much just after the marathon.
During the race, when i was at the 5th km, the top runner was already at the 10th! It was like a u-turn course, so we cheered as he passed by. I also saw my friend on the course, running the marathon with me. He overtook me at the 20++ km, i think, after i overtook him at the 15th km. I was feeling quite tired after the first 21km and the fact that i've only finished half of the whole race was putting me down.
At east coast, i passed by a few barbacue pits, but stangely, i don't remember seeing the one at which we had the solico gathering. East coast looked really different, especially with the skipark. I didn't manage to see Kenneth, but i saw Haris, near the skipark. The powergels were quite useful, i ate 2 packets during the race and brought one home. It's still here on my table. At about the 34th km, i really began to wonder where i was. I was totally unfamiliar witht the surroundings, but of course during the marathon you just follow the ppl right infront of you. If you are the one infront, then there'll be a car with a timer on top for you to follow. Well, at that point of time, i sooo wanted to see the fullerton hotel, since it was close to our finish point. Is the prom today? think so... If i signed up, i'ld be limping around there. Well, the fullerton was visible when i turned in slightly after the 40th km. About 90% of the people around me were walking. I thought i saw Yazid at near the finish line, but don't know if it was him. I had 2 Hi-5s just as i was approaching the finish line, after which i decided to 'sprint'. yeah, i still had energy.
I had trouble removing my champion chip as i had to take off my shoe laces. I was sad to part with my champion chip, here the pic:
And glad to get my FINISHER TEE and my medal. (Personalised) certificate will be posted to me by email, expect to get it when i come back from India. Surprisingly, i managed to take the MRT home.
