Too slow... Last marathon results were release on Monday or Tuesday right after the Sunday race. How about last year's? Anothing: anybody knows when the results of the real run can be released?

The road was crowded, and some runners became walkers even after a few hundred meters. Some of them just block the way instead of walking along the road side. I raced the 10km men's open, finished with 51 mins some. these slowers at least hindered me 2 minutes. I have trained for long time for this race. regret somewhat. As I know, all categories flagged off together... I got there late, and just minutes after I fit into the runners' crowds, the flag waved. Lots of people run together. thus speed cannot be steady, some time even I bumped into one sudden stoping runner.

It turned out that either way, either group will still smack into the back of the other. well, last year was the same case, the 10km was flagged off before the 15km as well, though the opposite was planned.

That was a source of motivation, well at least on my side, haha. Otherwise, I guess we have nothing much to comment for this race. Haha or maybe there's nothing much to complain about! :mrgreen: haha yes, maybe because everyone is running away form the heat because everyone know that there will be 100 plus left if you finish fast + air-con environment to relax thereafter haha.

While trying to find my friend's vehicle in the carpark,my sweat kept on dipping like tap water! It's worse than outfield man. Unexpectedly,despite the scooching heat,i managed to finish the run faster than last year.And the terrain was good,that's what we called a X-terrain run!

Very very hot in the morning. 1st water point in a bad location, hard to get to. Too long a distance for the 15km from water point 1 to 2. They stupidly again started the 10km first before he 15km?Why oh why? The good 15km runners then smash into the back pack of the 10km slowers. I do not understand why they dont have the 15km runner off first? After 15min most 15km are through the trail and then its tarmac and wide spaces. Anyway, good race but very hot. Hi
