My first Professional half marathon exp

Give it to Singapore for this truly AMAZING marathon they have organised. Forgive me for being over enthu about this, as this is my first Singapore marathon or professional marathon I would say.

From the time I woke up I was just telling myself that I need to complete the marathon sub 2 hours ( too much of asking for the bad training I did). Ran down the hotel stairs to get a taxi to the race point, my ankle twisted and I fell .....damm this is the third time and the same leg in the last 3 months. The pain in my left ankle made me really nervous if I could even run the marathon. But I just decided I WILL and went to the start point with Ravindhran, Madhavan and Hariharan from HYD.

Over all it was a very good run for me, Hariharan really pushed me hard all through the run, though he claimed that I was setting the trend for him ( good joke). I dont think I would have done 2:27 if not for Hariharan. Race day, ankle pain and crowd towards the end was the downside for me. I am personally happy about my performance, though could have done better.

My Race Stats:

Truly inspired by our Harishankar, I was at the finish waiting with a video camera to shoot our Chennai runners Finish, but could get only Hari's video, he entered the finish arch and my camera battery was out.

Now I am looking forward to run the full marathon in Pondy. Lets see how long this enthu stays, I only hope it stays till I train and complete the full marathon in Pondy ( of course thats the start of my marathon life)

Congrats Chennai runners for this amazing finish. Great news is every Chennai runner FINISHED the marathon. Tiger is a Tiger, Ram was Ram , Hari was HARI this time, Mohamed was Mohan......list goes on...

Chennai Runners on their way back

My focus hopefully will be to start running full marathons from now.....
