A very meaning and wonderful race for me!

Woke up @ 3:00am to prepare for the race - packing my stuffs and eating the bananas that Gideon pass me! Took a cab from my house to Padang and it cost $7.60...

Saw my Safra Running Club Friends there already and we did a warm up and stretching together before heading to put our bag...

Headed to the starting point of the SCM!

This year, the organizers classified runners for full marathon into different sections (Elite Runner, Under 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours and 6 hours respectively.

I decided to stand at the under 5 hours! I also don't know why! Haha.

Finally the race flag off...

I pass myself well - really very well this time! I basically ran throughout the 42.195km! The total distance that i rest and walk - about 2km plus.

I think because i am wearing the SAFRA Running Club Jersey and i scare that later my club see i walking then ... Pai Say... Wearing that jersey for run is really good!

Cos not all SAFRA Runners going for SCM therefore at various points you can see them cheering for you and providing you with hydration - ice bar. Thanks Runners!

All points of time i really feel like giving up but thanks Bro. Gideon who kind of motivated me!

My mind keep telling me that he's waiting at the ending point so can not let him wait so long ... And i guess because of that i force myself to keep running.

Guess what?

My timing this is 4 hours 51 minutes (Training on and off; longest millage clock is only 26km) - as compared to last year (no training 2 months) 6 hours 5 minutes.

Gideon (Bro) really thanks alot for motivating me!

Gideon did a WONDERFUL JOB in his first ever 21km with a good timing - 2 hours 23 minutes... The longest he clock is only 18km! Bro, next year full marathon ah!

Good Job Bro! Reat well!

Next year, my target for the SCM is 4 hours! Yeah i'm got to do it man!
