Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2005

I took part in the half-marathon this morning. The race started real early at 6.30am, and people were anxious to get ahead in the first few kilometres. I kept to my own pace, but was badly affected by the heat and tiredness. There was an acute sense of fatigue and lack of energy in me. By the time I reached the 16km mark, I began walking. At the 20km mark, they started giving out bananas, which was great. I finally finished the race, in front of the City Hall, at a time of 2hr 32min, well above my targeted time of staying below 2hr 15min. .
