Comments:

On target through 22k, however, my quads started to tighten from 22-32k, and then I faded in the final 10k.
What would you do differently?:

More gels! I think my drinking was OK, but I just didn't have enough calories on board to support my pace.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking around the Pandang, post race massage, walking to the MRT to get home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat and humidity. 80deg at the start and 85-90 at the finish wiht 75%+ humidity makes a tough race.

Earlier this week (tuesday - friday) I was sick. I ate something on tuesday that caused my stomach to shutdown and then woke up vomitting tuesday night. I hardly ate for the next three days, I'm sure this had a negative impact on the race. Saturday I was able to eat and had three good meals to prepare for today.

Performance: Average
The kilometer markers were not exactly even and I missed a few, so no additional data here.
Course: Flat and fast. Over half of the race takes place in East Coast Park. It's a great course, but with little crowd support and a tough climate it's still a hard race.
