a good starts but a disappointing finish. well needless do i have to say, starting of the race, I had good breathing, good legs, good pace for the beginning first half and i even thought with this pace, i might have a good chance of the big number 4. But after 25km, it just goes down hills.....
at bedok reservoir, i try ot run-walk while minmising the cramps on my left calves. but the worst thing happen, i felt like vomiting. i cannot understand why? is it becos i am too tired? or it the gel i took?
I am also very disappointed on the race logistic and medicine supply. how come there is no deep heat? and the 100 plus supply is countable. most of the station only serve plain water.
ironically, it rained when i am reaching 200m into the finish line. If it rain 3 hour early, i might not stuggle so much.
Cursing and promising myself not to take part in another marathon again. I saw the spirit of the marathon finishing moments, seeing the smile of the marathon finisher (probably their first) i recalled why i took up running and now into my 5 marathon.
anyway, thanks Tao for the YoKo. it helps me to run a little towards the end.
I hope the rest of the gang did well. time to rest and regroup my thoughts.
