In December 4, 2022, I completed my first Half-Marathon. This was my Instagram post after completing 21.195 kilometers in Singapore SCSM:
And just like that, my official first half marathon (21.1km) event is done! First I'd like to thank God for giving me the strength to finish the course safely. My family, who were very supportive of my runs. They were even very quiet last night as I slept early since the transport pick was set at 2 am. 🤣 And lastly to my fellow runners who I was able to practice with for the past couple of weeks (specially #AdidasRunnersSG). Congratulations and well done to all finishers of #SCSM2022
I was able to reach my goal of finishing between 2:30-2:45 with a PB 2:38:55. Even though it rained before the flag off time, which caused a 1 hour delay of the start, it was a blessing since the cool breeze made it easier to run than having a hot and humid Singapore weather.
Will I try to do a full marathon (42.195 km) next year? I don't know yet. It will depend on how I can follow a strict training plan next year.
