S. P. T. Krishnan's take on things…

This December 7th, I undertook the challenge of my 5th marathon race in Singapore in 5 years & my 3rd half-marathon and completed the same in under 3:30 .

It is not a record, not even a personal best but I am quite happy with the timing. Last year, I completed in 3:12. This year, the route was different and I had prepared only on a tread mill due to unpredictable weather patterns in Singapore.

I am hoping to participate and complete 4 marathons next year. Wish me good luck

This is the first time I am took on the challenge of half-marathon (21.1 KM). I finished it in 03:50 Hrs.

Last year I completed the 10KM for the first time. Time taken was around 1:20 Hrs.

I thought it was a factor of two when compared to 10 clicks. I grossly under-estimated it. The last few clicks was merely walking, virtually dragging my feet. Given that Iam a heavy built, and didn’t train much compared to last year due to my exams, the mere completion of the race was my prize.
