First time I participate in this race. Distance: 15.5km. There was no half marathon category, other than the full marathon and 5km fun run. I finished in 1:57 hour, whereas my youngest brother Teck Chin did it in 1:30 hour. Met new friend, Ting Sing Moh, and old friends Kee Teik Jin and Selva (first and last met in Penang Bridge marathon last year), and Oliver- the evergreen runner.
It was exciting to run on the F1 race track. In the heart one might want to shriek like a race car eeeeeeeeeeewooo. The night was humid and sweat easily. There were many water stations, about every 20 minutes run. The track outside the circuit was not brightly lit, so we had to turn on the head lamp which was given as a gift. After finishing the run, the finisher medal, t shirt, food pack etc. were given out in orderly manner. All in all this was a well organised race.
Drove home after the race at 11pm, reached home (only 170km away) at 5am next day, why? because I slept at highway rest station twice!
