Timing: 1'43:26 (gun time) *PB*
Average Pace: 4:51 min per km
My first oversea half marathon. Putting a lot of hope in this race after my sub 1:45 target failed during PBIM 2009 two weeks ago.
Flag off at 6:45am, 1 hour 15 min after the Full Marathon flag off, and clear the cloud of runner.
I set my target to completed first 10 km with average 4:45 pace, and I make it with 46 min 58 sec, first target achieve ! I believe that I should able to do 1:45 if I maintain my average sub 5:00 pace for the remianing 11.1 km. Although my 10 to 19 km are slightly over my target, but overall still satisfied, completed first 19 km with 1'32:37. Meet a lot 10 km fast runner after 19 km, make me follow their pace and run with better pace. When reached Esplanade Drive, saw the 10 km Women are waiting at the starting point for flag off for their race. Turn in to Fullerton Road from Esplanade Drive, crossing the bridge, pia and turn right to St. Andrew Road, saw the finishing line in front of me, digital timer shown 1:42:59 when I was about 100 m to reach finishing, I know my sub 1:45 dreams come true for this race ! Crossing the finishing line with 1:43:26, average pace at 4:51 min per km.....
