  this is my very first marathon! for those who are scared are thinking of taking part, but are scared to try it, dun worry-> you can walk!! (cos that's what I did.. )
  But of course you must also train up to a certain fitness level lah..
  
  at bedok jetty (abt 25km) my knees just gave up on me cos of an old injury. so after that was a bloody long 17km walk back to the padang. wah.. felt like giving up, but luckily i didn't. Cos towards the end, everyone was just walking to the finishing line anyway, and there's nothing paiseh abt it.. (Plus, I wouldn't have got that nice finisher t-shirt if i had gave up ).
  
  Finished in 5hr40m. My target next year will be to finish under 5
  (that is, if my knee allow me. )..
  
  Kops, good luck for your ultra marathon!

  well done korny. nothing is impossible if you set ur mind into it. The finisher T-Shirt though not as stylo as last year, nevertheless it is a very good one, which we earn it.
  
  U finished with a very good timing korny, despite ur injury, you should be able to finish below 4:30hrs if the right training and motivation, plus minus the injury.
  
  with sufficient training, you will be able to run from start to end. Training harder & regularly for next one.
  
  I am not sure about Ultra Marathon, as my knee havent recover yet. Last weekend, i got myself injury(same injure) while doing the Time Trail for MR 25. Luckily still managed to make the cutoff timing. At least the effort didnt go to waste.
  
  Today i ran only 2km and stop because the knee start to feel the stress.
  
  Let see how....
