We spent the weekend in Singapore staying with Knighto, Debs, and Keisha. The reason for our visit was the 2009 SAFRA Army Half Marathon.
It was a 5:30 am start for the half marathoners and unfortunately, mid way through the race I was not feeling good at all and knew that my goal of sub 2 hours was not to be achieved that day. Eventually, after much discomfort, my time finished at 2:15. So its back to the drawing board with the running.
Nonetheless we had a great weekend with the usual excellant hospitality from the Knights of Braddell Heights. We also took the opportunity to visit Matt, Carine, Benjamin, and Sophie who have recently moved to Singapore.
Still a great effort. Have you looked at the Safra results website ? They have some more stats about your effort that you can check out.
ReplyDeleteFor instance did you know :
a) you finished 3,100th in the mens half marathon, ahead of almost 5,400 others
b) 3,477th overall. I guess that means 367 women beat you :-)
c) from 17km onwards you passed 12 runners....but 597 passed you.
d) 0-9km averaged 10.3km/hour, 9-17km average 9.4km/hour, rest of the race was 7.7km/hour.
Geez I did'nt need the computer. What an awesome service, very insightful, and unfortunately not surprising.
