doubt i do it again...the route was uber confusing -- too many
twists and turns and zero marshals to direct the way. was in the
leading pack and then whoopie...how was it i ended up with people
who were in the back after one turn. then it was charge on
headwards to oncoming human traffic on the way back.
Marina 21k was one of the most retarded races ever.
The name itself was stupid, considering the route. 'Tanjong Rhu
21k' would have made much more sense.
It was extremely tight the whole way, and at no point was I able
to simply break free of the pack and run wild. I was on evasive
action mode the whole way, because of the stupid guniangs who
thought that they were fast enough to run with the elite runners.
Instead of trying to catch up with the elites, I ended up trying to
evade the think-too-highly-of-themselves guniangs.
Finally, my GPS said that I ran over 22km. Considering that I
ran in 1 hr 58 min, I would definitely have beaten my half-marathon
record of 1 hr 55min had the route been better planned.
The last point is especially unforgivable, considering that race
distances must have an error of no more than 0.1% to be
officially-sanctioned.
