SCSM 2008

Completed my 3rd marathon. Failed to meet my target of finishing below 7 hrs (finished in about 7:08) but nonetheless satisfied with the effort.

Managed to do the first 21 km fairly comfortably but soon after the 22km mark, I tired considerably and had to walk. Walked till the 26km mark where I knew I had to run somewhat to meet my target. Decided to adopt a run 4mins/walk 4 mins strategy and was able to keep this up until the 38km when I really hit the wall. Each step hurts and it took me about 15mins to walk each km. Finally reached the Esplanade and broke into a slow jog for the last 300m.

Signed up for the Sundown Marathon on the eve of this marathon as I knew the SCSM may hurt so much that I may think twice about doing the marathon again. Did regret signing up for the Sundown Marathon in the last few km of the SCSM (when it really hurts) but a day later now, feeling much better and looking forward to training for the marathon. However, need to run more often and for longer distance. Well done to BB, Kev & EK for completing their marathons and CC did really great, finishing her maiden marathon in about 4:51 ! Well done too to KI and SH for doing their respective half marathon & 10km.

My two girls took part in the kids dash again this year and they probably enjoyed their run more than daddy although they too had to walk part of their race :-)
