Race Calender?

Scary. Must make it a point to go Singa Mara la like this. Dapat one marathon a year cukup lah.

Sh**ty becomes better then ok la. If ok becomes bad, that one we can't accept.

Korang nak jadik macam Singaporean la pulak Esok lusa pun boleh register jugak apa hehe..

@Lemmings
I'm a slow runner (read walker). So, I don't mind bringing stuff with me. More of I have to - in case of emergency. Handphone is on my arm, car key is in my shorts pocket. In the SCKLM, I took so long to finish, my keychain became rusty! LOL

BIM is more costly than SCSM right? Gian nak lari full la. Despite being a turtle, I don't mind doing it again. After all, I'm not gonna do SCKLM 2010

Those who have done SG Mara before, can you advise how is the logistics about if I choose not to stay overnight?

Need to figure that out before deciding.

@phoenix
Thanks for the advise. You are right. I may not be bothered being stinky. But the whole bus will curse me hehe..

@Syd
Thanks for the tips. I'll look into that.

I've not been to SG for decades! Seems I have to run faster la so that have time to check out hehe.

Nice to hear that everyone is having a good time at Siemens.

I am not a serious runner but I do not think sports watches are heavy. On a grown up's hand, it is sometime negligible. You don't even notice it is there. More so if your muscles are used to it being there during runs.


psst: try running with a 1.5ltr bottle. THAT is heavy

I've looked at the site. I wonder if you can use it for marathon. Big Walk is fine. I would like to try. But I wonder if the sizing is same like shoes

Personally, I agree with dmm. Picking the stuff is part of the enjoyment to me (and my photo collection). But for outstation cases, which I never experience, maybe it would be good to have the courier service. Anyways I'm all for online registration and payment.

Which brings me to the question, how do I do about with it? I might want to do that also

@Syd



You must have got the notification about 30K runners already sign up right? Terus pegi sign up secepat mungkin

Silap. I mean for Singa Mara. 30,000 runners already signed up. I saw it on the website.

@Syd
Can you later share the transportation and accommodation ideas. It is my first time and I'm taking notes here and there on the logistics to suit my budget.

Guys,

Currently when running, I'm feeling pain on the inner side of my left foot. Below the ankle. Kinda like sprain feeling but the pain is felt when I'm lifting the foot off the ground.



If based on this graph, it is at the area of Deltoid ligament and Tibialis Posterior Tendon but more to the latter. What is causing the pain? What can I do to relieve it? What shall I do to prevent it from happening again?

I do not remember a specific occurrence when it happened. It is kind of built up bit by bit. Then only I'm feeling the pain. I'm feeling it since SCKLM. I can feel after a certain time. If running, I feel it like after 3km. Even walking for a long time can give me the pain too.

Congrats to all KOTR finishers!

I feel for you Syd

I want to ask this from you guys (those that are not the winner type). Have you been to those races or take part in categories that are without timing chip? Normally the small scale race and also the short distance (10km). If you do, I'm sure you know how the finishing line is right? Full of people.

My question is, when do you stop your time? It is a long queue till the finishing line. Do you wait till you really cross the line? which will definitely take longer time. Or do you stop the time as you reach at the back of the queue? which is technically not the finishing line yet. In my opinion, both do not give you the real time. Then, how?
