2004 Singapore marathon

I finish my first Singapore marathon in the worst time 6hrs 10minutes during year 2000,but my fourth Singapore marathon which held on 5 December 2004 ,is among the toughest,not because of my timing,this is because of the hot hot weather,almost same with the Songkhla marathon,it is learnt that about 35 degree celcius.

My target to complete 4 weeek 4 marathon is finish with no injury,so,even my timing is not so encouraging,but base on my pace at first 30km,I feel same as in Bangkok marathon last week,but it is worry me when I feel my left tigh cramp,this make me to decide better to slow down and toke out my Canon EOS 300 to take photo of PACM members ,friends and also all the support cheer team.....and with my photo along the route.

When the race enter to 4km mark,I already felt the heat liao....so I know I need to drink every 2km water station refill patrol,if base on my past full marathon experience ,I only drink water after 10km,but when 6.30am ,sky look very bright and hot,most of the runner don't miss the water supply station.

I feel little tired ater 26km...cause it is as hot as like Songkhla marathon race at seaside ,so,i slow down little my pace ,but when I reach 31km,my left thigh cramp little serious ,I don't want to take risk,my past experience is if I have cramp feeling,I still can continue run 5 to 8 km,then use walk and slow down,but cause I still have another two full marathon in coming next two weeks,so ,don't want pia lah...waiting next time pia kau kau lat and rock at Singapore.

Though a lot of runners looking at me like I am not full marathon runner,cause they think may be I am photographer,not a runner ,hahaha....but when I saw our PACM member runner so happy when I toke their photo,this is my most happiness in Singapore marathon.

During all the route ,I saw a lot of the runner can't tahan liao....walk walk walk......some stop to release the pain of the muscle.....

Hope in future can run better in singapore !!!
