  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Up until 2 weeks before the race I was feeling great and just going into my taper. Then I had to return home for my Dad's 60th birthday. I live in Singapore and my family is in Australia, so it was not an insignificant trip. Then not getting down there that oftem means everyone wants a piece of me and I hardly got any training in at all. Then the week before the race, I arrive home only to be hit by the flu which knocks me down for the four days immeadiately before the race. Only a double dose of anti-histamines on race morning makes it possible to breathe through my nose. It didn't help eaither that I got only 3 hours sleep that night. Of course the poor prep in the last 2, compunded by getting the flu before the race and lack of sleep the night before sapped me of energy and confidence. Anyway, completed the race (my first) and have a benchmark for the next.
