SCMS 2010 - First Times for the Race

Many unforgettable First Times I experienced during this Race. Just to share with all :)

• First Time I ran a marathon with a pair of minimalist shoe (Vibram Five Fingers - Sprint).

• First Time I 'smelled the flowers' and enjoy the entire race (What I meant was that I was able to chit-chat with fellow runners; interact with the 5hr 30min pacers; and thanked the cheerleaders along the route.).

• First Time I felt so energetic and was free from aches/pain/blisters after the run.

• First Time I was overtaken by the chicken-man just before the end point. :(

• First Time I never hit the wall throughout the race.

• First Time I trained hard and broke my Personal Best from 6hr 44min to 5hr 30min (official timings was 5:33:24).

• And First Time I don't feel anxious or pressure one night before the race. :D
