Over 10,000 full marathon participants all pumped to go. It was amazing to see such a overwhelming participation in a country of just 3 million people.

What's with Kenyans? I don't know how they run @ 20 kms an hour for 2 hours at a stretch. Here is Amos Tirop Matui of Kenya who came first @ 2:14:59, a record for Singapore Marathon. He clocked 23:39 @ 7.6 km, 1:06:43 @ 21K, 1:27:04 @ 27.38k and 2:14:59 @ 42.195)

And here is yours truly racing to the finish line as the 2667th. My official timing was 5:14:53 at the finish line. I clocked 47:02 @ 7.6km, 2:26:41 @ 21.0km, 3:20:03 @ 27.38km and 5:14:53 @ 42.195)
Congrats, Ram.

P.S Sorry for being inactive in the group. Last 2 months have been murderous on the work front!
Anything less than 24 is unacceptable as maturity and inexperience cannot be replaced by youth. Way to go Visu. Take care.

Ram, if you can train me to walk for 5 hours at a stretch, or, at least, stand for 5 hours or even sit in one place for 5 hours....
