Standard Chartered Half Marathon...

woke up at 3:30am to get ready for the run...
had bread and coffee...
took the shuttle service at 4:30am...
fortunately, i wasn't yawning too much this time...
cos i slept early last night at 10pm...

the beginning of the run was breezy and cooling...
but by 7am, the sun was out...
and by 8am, it was blazing like the oven...
at the turning point of 17km, the lack of training started to take its toll on me...
and the hot weather made it worse...
decided to stop and walked...
the thighs and shins started cramping...
and it was painful to continue...
brisk-walked for the rest of the 3km or so...
and ran all the way at the final 300 metres...

the worst timing i ever had for the half marathon...
2 hours 33 minutes...
as a consolation, i did not train since the AHM in August...
and with all the good food throughout the month of November...
it was still an achievement...
