YEAH!!!! I'VE JUST COMPLETED MY FIRST 42km NIGHT MARATHON!!!! haha damn happy i must say!!! results improved from 6hr 15min from my first standard chartered to 5hr 21min!!! ^-^... it was a great experience coz the run was totally different from standard chartered! so here it goes-> the starting point is at changi villagi beach! 11pm took taxi down coz i was late(hee playing mahjong at home)... deposited my bag n the queue is super duper long as usual even before the race was about to start... but i still manage to get myself ready before the race! at 12midnight sharp the race started! First stretch was the whole of changi beach n changi airport! which is one of the best part! haha coz the scenery there is great! haha n i get to see lots of planes takeoff! =D but it was kind of hot... not windy... the 2nd stretch was ECP... n as usual i tink was neverending la! ran till abit demoralised but the ppl still awake there was damn high? hha supportive! keep cheering us on! sooooo yeah this 2 stretch add up to 21km n my timing was 2hr which i was damn happy with.... haha but the side effects were bad.... as a result of running tooo fast my legs started cramping at the 22km mark! damn cui... soooo after the 22 mark we hit the heartlands! overhead bridges tt was damn huge... haha i ... walked! lol the slope really wasted alot of energy la... but out of 4 huge bridges i ran one of those! lol in my whole opinion of the race the 22km to 28km was the toughest part! park connector from ECP to siglap to bedok... coz the park connector was mostly upslope... n most of it i bascially walked... after 28km i reached the bedok reservoir n rah 2km there n end up at tampines park connector!at the 32km mark something got into me.. it was as if my lover shouted my name n i ran 30min non-stop without either of my legs cramping... hahaha like got alot of energy n i just ran n ran... the nxt stretch is also the killer stretch... exiting form tampines we reach pasir ris.. n guess where we ran? yes the route to changi... the killer super slope! the one where we went for night cycling n push the bike up! when i was running i knew it was coming when i see ppl heading there... was super sian when i see this slope the 38km mark...but i push on n finally reached changi... turning point was at the route into the chalet tt kw held his birthday party! ran ran ran!!! n tata finishing point! oh n i was damn lucky! coz if i had ran slower... i wld have be caught in the sudden heavy downpour at 545am! haha overall conclusion-> night marathon is indeed a new n fun experience but they lack alot of tings... first is the hw-many-km banner! their banner distance range from 2km, 4km, 6km... u nv see the banner like no motivation... nxt is the water point! there are not enough water point in the heartlands... i tink i ran like 3 km before i had a drink...n last ting! not enough medical check pt... haha this time round like no one spamming deep heat coz i dn see alot of station providing them... only after the 30km i tink then i see a few... haha but still great experience! =D
