Jonathan Kang - An experience with severe dehydration.

Jonathan Kang - Still believes that one should run and tPictuiijdofiajJonaake precautions.
Jonathan Kang told me that just before he got admitted to hospital, Malcolm Sng was the one the doctors were trying to revive. When it failed for Malcolm, the doctors were very worried about Jonathan's condition. Jonathan, who ran the marathon and stopped, at the 37km mark. He knew that he was about to dip his personal best and was about to do a 3hr 16min. He was very confident in doing this.
While running during the race, and supported by a fellow partner in running by the name of Lim Thow Wee, who was not able to run Stanchart marathon as he had plantar fasciitis injury, Jonathan just felt his whole body becoming numb. Before this happened, he was running in a zig-zag manner.
Later on, an ambulance attended to him and the doctors in SGH started to assist him. At near midnight, I was told that he was at the hospital and I went to see him there. I was relieved to find him feeling better. He also was going through a severe dehydration condition. Upon request, he relented to give answers to my questions.
He is still in the Singapore General Hospital. We are hoping that he can leave in one or two days time.
