Results for the Standard Chartered Marathon 2006 are out! Not bad for a 1st-timer even though I didn't do under 1hour. My timing is 1:06:35.
Amos did better, 1:05:18. He started off much faster than me while I started off real slowly. Sometimes it was hard to run when there are many people infront of you blocking your way, but to tell the truth, the feeling of overtaking people even though you know that you are running real slowly is good. Not suaning people la, not being proud also, but because there are so many people for you to overtake especially if you started in the middle of the crowd, unless you have a special lane, if not, even the fastest runner will not be able to finish 1st because some people will just stop and you will have to suddenly turn to avoid collisions. So it was a tiring affair trying to avoid people while 'eating' into opposite direction lanes to overtake and cutting back just in time to avoid another collisions with the people on the opposite direction.
Hm, as I said before the race, my aim is to complete the distance and just try my best for the timing, whether good or bad, so long as I have completed the distance, I have no regrets. Yeah.
