Comments: Was there late and just reach there in time for the race to start.
was at the bus pickup pt at 4.55am but got onboard the bus thinking I made it just in time for the 5am bus to take me to the race site for the 6am marathon race.It was only later that the runner on board realise that they were on the wrong bus and the 5 am bus had left much earlier.Fortunately the bus left earlier at 5.20am instead of the scheduled 5.30am timing.
Finally completed my first marathon, jogging the first half and pacing myself not to push too hard in the beginning, reaching the halfway pt in East Coast park in less than 2 and a half hour. But at that time my legs just felt really tight and at the brink of cramping up and sun was coming up. Tried to jog abit and walk but walking most of the times. you can see a quite a number of runners were stretching and some were overcome by cramps.I finally stopped to walk.
Even walking it was a long way to walk.I just could not run anymore cause every part of my legs
