Brothers in Pain

I've completed my first ever...

42.195km

...at the Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon 2008. Ran with my 'beloVed BrOthers' Chee Wee and Jun Jie.

We got separated around 6km into the race but all got back together at the last 2km.

Trust me...people normally cannot relate with distance, you don't tell your friends that the bus-stop is 169.845925m away but you will say the bus-stop is five minutes away.

So just imagine you will need to at least run 2.930208333m/s to complete in 4hrs, which is an OUTSTANDING timing for normal human being. But we only managed to complete at around 6 hours, so that is roughly 1.953472217m/s.

The MERE 0.976736116m/s will cost you extra 2 hours as you will be running for 21600 SECONDS. That is roughly 86400 jogging steps. Try jogging for 6 Hours Straight !!!

Let's Summarise....

0 km - 21 km

Run non-stop (as I have completed AHM b4)

21 km - 35 km

Run & stop at every 2 km to stretch my legs as the cramps is acting up.

No walking yet, All thanks to the deep heat rub.

35 km - 41 km

Met Chee Wee at the road side. Help him with the stretching and proceed with the run but stop at every 1km to walk for 1km. Running with cramps, knees are starting to hurt.

41 km - 42.195 km

Jun Jie caught up with us.

Ran non-stop together towards the finishing point.

A torturing run which will push your body to the limit, first your heart then your lungs, follow by your legs, your arms and join by your neck and brain.

Your endurance will push you all the way.

Glad to finish the run with CW and JJ.
