SAFRA Half Marathon Run 2010 - 12 Sep 2010

This will be my 7th competitive run. After resting for almost 2 months since the 25km passion run in May, it is time to start training again.

I shall set a higher target this year i.e. to go below 2hr 5 min. My previous timings were:

2008 - 2 hr, 8 min
2009 - 2 hr, 18 min

Hope that I am not over estimating myself.

Afternote: Yes! I had over estimated myself.  My net timing was 2h:10m:10s.

  1. This year's SAFRA 21km run started earlier than previous year at 5.15 am. I had to wake up at 3 am, drank only a cup of Milo and met William at his place at 3.50 am. Thereafter, we drove to pick KP Tan at 4 am. We parked at Golden Shoe Carpark at about 4.30 am. We had enough time walking to the starting point and did some warm-up. The weather was fine, just a little humid. Unfortunately, due to insufficient training, I could only manage 2 hr, 10 min :-(

  2. Some interesting facts:

    Result in Entire field = 2964/13789 (21%)
    Result in Gender (Men) = 2728/12027 (23%)
    Result in Division (Men's Open) = 958/4043 (24%)

    At the final 10km, I passed 338 runners and 117 passed me.
    Average speed = 9.7 km/hr
    Average km = 6 min 10 sec
    The winner’s timing = 1:05:52

    My friends' results:
    KP Tan = 2hr, 20sec
    Me = 2hr, 10min, 10sec
    William = 2hr, 12min, 45sec
    Pang = 2hr, 18min, 37sec
