merentas kota singa

my second half-marathon. two weeks right after the first one in penang. and my first international run. standard chartered singapore marathon 2009, 6-dec at 645am. which i think was quite late to start.


took the first mrt from orchard to raffles place. we were late as usual. seramainya manusia. sejauhnya kena pusing nak masuk starting zone..


the run started at esplanade drive. as mentioned in the guide book, it was indeed a flat marathon. berlari dalam bandar kan..and along the route, there were so many cheerleaders to support and cheer up. baru semangat nak lari. halfway through, my knees started to feel the pain. to avoid any risk as i still need my leg to wander the city later, i had to slow down my pace and eventually walked. but according to the guide book, a run-walk system could be faster than running all the way. totally agreed as i finally managed to finish in 2 hrs and 16 mins. but the last km towards the finish line at st.andrew's road was a bit disaster. it was narrow and crowded as every single runners rushed to it. tak dapat nak pecut ke garisan penamat..





penat seh..but we were never tired to strike a pose..!
