Today I had a great time at the race. On top of finishing my 5th full marathon, I also achieved my best timing ever. I completed the race in 4hr 25min. I also did it with a decent average pace of 6:11. According to the official race results, I came in 1200 for overall ranking out of a field of about 13,000 runners :-) There were 8% of runners who finished ahead of me.
As usual, this marathon was great in that it was done with a bunch of great friends.
I was also pleasantly surprised by my wife who came to support at the end of the race.
Well, this marathon marked the end of my races in 2009. In retrospect, 2009 has been a significant year for me. This year alone, I completed 3 full marathons, one of which was an overseas marathon at KL, Malaysia.
I am sure 2010, will prove to be an exciting year in more ways than one. It might just see me doing more overseas marathons :-) among other exciting things...
Stay tuned.
