Additional Points to Note for SCMS 2011 Full Marathon

Besides those points that the organisers have provided in their website, you might want to consider the following.

1. For the GPS Watch users, you might lose your signal when entering the Fort Canning Tunnel is an underground tunnel.

2. Marina Coastal Expressway is where you will hit the WALL and there is no shelter for the entire  stretch of approximately 4km... that means that you will be 'sun-tanning' for the entire stretch, do be mentally prepared.

3. Almost to the end of the race, there is a 1km upslope (after the Marina Bay Sands), do be mentally prepared.

Race Pack Collection for Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS) 2011

Unlike previous years of race pack collection 1 week before the event at Singapore Expo, the race pack collection was scheduled on the same week of the race day at Singapore Expo.

I went to collect my race pack on 2 Dec (Fri) 7-9pm. Collection Booths were well organised and I managed to get my race pack seamlessly.

Well, some photos I took during the race pack collections last night :)

Sundown Marathon 2011

This is my virgin night marathon and I don't feel good running this time. My timing was bad compared to the SCMS (5h:33m). This is partly attributed to several factors, as listed:

1. Not enough training - Due to my course, I did not have enough time to clock sufficient mileage.

2. Not enough Rest - I was rushing my take home exam from friday night to barely 2hr before the race...

3. Not enough conditining - I felt so sleepy throughout the race....
