It was my come back race after 8 months not joining any race, mostly due to some injury on my legs. I took almost 4 months of base mileage training before decide to join a race. My average pace for the pass few weeks 10km training is around 06:00/km, so I didn’t set much expectation on this 21km race.
The race start with a little bit delay, the distance marker is incorrectly put as well. I remember the first distance marker I saw is “15km to go” and my watch is showing 45min, it mean it took me 45min to ran 6km, that was way too slow. Then after 17min, my watch is showing 1hour 2min, I saw another “10km to go” distance marker, this time look like more accurate. Base on this distance marker, it give me some confident to push myself to complete this race with sub2 timing.
When I reach “5km to go” distance marker, it is a u-turn spot. I notice Jessica Tang is just 1km ahead of me, I try my best to close our gaps. But in the end, no luck, I unable to see her shadow at all. Anyway, I’m glad to complete this race with sub2 timing, is a bit unexpected result for a come back race.
