This morning Lauren and I participated in a couple of the races in the large Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon. We did not do the big one (full marathon) but Lauren completed the half marathon and I managed the stumble around for 10K. It was quite a morning with a total of 50,000 + runners in multiple races. They all start and end from the same points. The full marathon started at 5:30 am; the half marathon at 6:45 am; men's 10K at 7:45 am; and women's 10K at 8:45 am.
I was able to see Lauren begin her 21K half marathon and we were also able to meet up after. She finished in an amazing 2 hours. I finished the 10K in 62 minutes which means she had a better pace doing the half marathon than I did doing 10K. As they say around here, she is really "fit". We have no action photos, but here is one from our balcony after we returned home. Note the names on our tags - they belong to a colleague of mine, Theresa Tan, and her husband Check. The race fills up and we were late to register. Lucky for us, Theresa and Check signed up, but then planned a holiday in Paris (15th anniversary) and we were able to take their spots.
Cheers,
Jed
