I was stop training for 3 weeks and DNS PBIM due to oversea business trip, I know that
I will break my record at SCMS, that is NOT do sub 1:45 at this event.

No pacer for half marathon, just pace my own, I felt I was too fast at starting, start fell suffer after 10km, which took 50 min to completed it. I know I was slow now. 

Meet a lot of 10km runners after 18km along Raffles Ave, traffic become crowded. Pass by Esplanade and turn left into Esplanade Drive, my watch show 1:44++, mission for sub 1:45 failed already.

Turn in to Fullerton Road, Hugh Street and St. Andrews Road, run into Ekiden/Full/Half Marathon lane, saw digital timer was 1:48++, run as fast as I can and hope to do with sub 1:49....

Crossing finishing line with 1'48:55, the worse SCMS half marathon timing I even did...
