I just wrote what I can remember during the course of my run. And although it was tough, at the end of the day, I'm glad I made it. I'm sure you feel the same way too.Frank Chonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429803103141435160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747952783408846314.post-74761016703649508102008-06-03T16:54:00.000+08:002008-06-03T16:54:00.000+08:00Congrats, well done and nice write up!

The course, with pedestrian overpasses, narrow bike paths, required single-file running in some places for some 4.900 runners, and then we had to wait at stoplights to cross - amazing! And finally, all our Garmins read 26.75 miles, so one full km too long.. a big deal when the final mileage marker says 40km, and you know it's 41km!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747952783408846314.post-58084350787597984742008-06-03T14:48:00.000+08:002008-06-03T14:48:00.000+08:00bink: Yeah, it's not easy.

Hoping you will join the group soon.<BR/><BR/>haza: Yeap... We are now ultra marathoners, a 43.10KM one. Hahaha...<BR/><BR/>david: Thanks. The red shirts are finisher's tee given to those who completed the race.<BR/><BR/>anonymous: It's not much of a hassle booking the hotel. You have to thank Choi too for coming up with Plan B as the first hotel which was NSS was fully booked. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it, though the room is small. To run 84KM? Yikes... I don't want to think about it!<BR/><BR/>c-cube: I won't be able to do it without you guys. Being not only training partners, you guys have motivated, adviced and shared with me your experiences. You guys are the true success behind mine.<BR/><BR/>carboman: To be able to outperform myself and to overcome my past is my greatest achievement. To be able to go faster is more like a bonus to me. And yes, rest. I really need a quality one now.<BR/><BR/>Kit: You did really well yourself. You went into the race without 100% fitness and yet you achieved a remarkable timing. I know how it feels like as I have been in your situation before.

It was a tough route and perhaps our we under trained for the sundown but everyone enjoyed it!

Indeed its good to see that happening but do watch out for over training and causing injuries. Its alright that we sometimes focus on a set of races for PR and not every single one out there. Eventually we will not be able to excel in every races over time. Just watch out for that, else as I said you are on the right track in improving your timing.C-CUBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730901939362378032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747952783408846314.post-12730501800168702212008-06-03T09:12:00.000+08:002008-06-03T09:12:00.000+08:00Frank, First of all, thanks for organizing the acc...Frank, <BR/><BR/>First of all, thanks for organizing the accomodation, sure it isn't easy having to run and make all these bookings!<BR/><BR/>Second and most important of all.
