Finished Singapore Half-Marathon (again)

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

Finished Standard Chartered Singapore Half-Marathon

Sunday, December 4th, 2005

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.
