Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 IV~

Ok after all the pictures, now its time to desribe the story.. well the run was good.. I would gladly say thanks to GOD for such a perfect fine cloudy weather on the very morning..

We woke up at 4.30am.. hehe.. 1st time woke up so "early" for the run.. usually its like 3.30 instead.. then quickly change up, have some light breadfast then warm up.. Next, we then head towards the Start Point near Fullerton Hotel where we gun off at around 5.45am..

As per our intital plan, we ran for the 1st 7km in the time of about 49mins.. then we walked for 2km before we ran for another 5km then we walked for 2km then run till the 21km mark in a time approximately 3 hours.. Our running speed was rather comfortable at approximately 8km/h.. then our walk speed is about 6km/h.. then at ECP, we walked and ran along all the way till about 30km mark in the process I met my cousin, Adrian who is also running with his girlfriend, Li xing as well as my IRAS' colleague, Donovan..

So throughout the run, we are inspired by the 100plus drinking station where we had our filled.. and also the 1.5 litres of Ice Mountain Drinking Water where I carried it along with me from 9km till about 17km.. Managed to grab 2 packs of Power Gel which Jasmine disliked it.. $3 a pack leh.. then grab some bananas along the way and yes.. we ran and eventually overcome it with a rather respectable timing..

10km ----  1:18:56
21km ----  2:58:32
30km ----  4:28:25
32.5km --- 4:51:45
Grand Final Finishing Time for 42.195km ---- 6:34:07
