First Ever Half Marathon!!!

2 Hrs 30 Mins

Or thereabouts XD

Thats how long i took to complete the Marina 21K! What a pleasant surprise! And the fact that i jogged non stop till around 15KM makes it even more of a surprise! Especially when taking into account the fact my max prior to this was a measly 8Km! Add to that the fact I finished ahead of Matt And Jia Han who did train prior to this, and I can say that this was a race where i exceeded all my expectations! To think I started it just hoping to finish within 4 hours!

Pleasant run overall i guess, running at night meant it was nice and cooling, Add to that the uplifting music from Gundam, Nelly Furtado, Hot Shot, Slam Dunk and some other songs i had specially selected, i felt like i could have run all the way were it not for thirst and a cheapskate mentality to not waste the free drinks ;)

Of course what would be a run without kooky participants?

A guy wearing a Singlet with words: "I don't mind you overtaking me now, I'll catch up to you later!" ; a woman with blinking lights on her shoes; a man with a crown of light up sticks...
