finally secured this yr's standard chartered half-marathon moments ago. taking advantage of the direct mailer early bird promo. i had only a few days to register so as to enjoy more than 30% discount on the race. haas. this yr's race will be my 3rd successive participation @ scsm and am still looking forward to achieve my resolution of completing the half-marathon under 2hrs:(scsm07 still holds my personal best for half-marathon. had a bad experience from scsm08 whn a serious cramp haunted me with 4km to go. literally jog to the end pt in agony. sooo how will best fare for scsm09? lottas criticism from last yr's race route when "sub 4hr" full-marathoners face human jams alongside with half-marathoners & 10kmers before the end pt. preventing them from achieving their pbs. despite all the "complaints" brought up by sgrunners. there is no change to this yr's route! haas. indeed the large no. of runners hogging the streets makes fast runners difficult to "squeeze" through the finishing line. haas. good thing is that organiser planned to cap the number of runners @ 50,000 this yr. and the cut-off time for full marathon @ 8hrs. thus frenz who hav been waiting for its registration. do register nw to prevent disappointment. another change is official apparel has changed from adidas to new balance! haas. prob adidas is facing some crisis and decided not to sponsor for this race. haas. best really needs to get his runs back on track like before his spirit of run for life & running against time seems to lose its colours cheers.ciaoz Labels: best from me, running Posted by BEST at 12:53 AM
