I suffered the worst lower leg tightness ever. After 1km at 5:40, my lower legs became really painful it was hard to even walk. So I had a bad start. I can only blame myself for not stretching. Really, its about time I stop signing up for anything until I know I can train properly for it.
No matter. I experimented on the Polar and was fascinated by the reading. My average heart rate was 182. This is supposedly 95% of my max heart rate for my age, but I thought it was a pretty relaxed pace, even the second 5km half when the lower leg stopped hurting. I wasnt burning or anything.
I was pleased to run on the F1 grandstands. I can only imagine what it was like. It was a nice day and if knives werent stabbing at my legs, I might have enjoyed it better.
I dont know when I'll be back in SG. I need a compelling reason. For now I'm enticed by Sundown. But on the other hand there are many events here I should go for too, at places I have never visited. Like the Cadbury Marathon. What??? Yes the Cadbury Marathon in Tasmania. How delicious can a marathon get?
