Safra Singapore Bay Run & Army Half Marathon, an event that I wish to join since few year ago, and I make it this year, as most of the time I am working in Southern of Malaysia, just take this opportunity to join.

Flag off early at 5:15am, good to avoid from sunshine if can do 1:45. I know it is impossible for me, but I still try very hard, follow 1:45 pacer and ahead them until 8km, I know that I am push myself too much, and  I just recover from flu few days ago, listen to my body and slow down my pace.

Drink station is sufficient enough, almost every 2km++, two banana stations, and about 8 or 9 performance team along the route.

Crossed finishing line with 1'52:49, my PB (Personal Bad) timing since 2009 in half marathon. Worst than Sundown 2010.

Although with lack of sleep, and the rolling hills route, still manage to completed with 4:59 per km pace, but very amkan that my timing chip not working, no official time and no certificate.
