Flexifitness Congratulate's Jonathan Kang for his bold 3hr 09min in Tokyo Marathon 2012
Jonathan Kang - A Story of Keeping the Faith
I remember sitting with Jonathan Kang in Singapore General Hospital on the night after Standard Chartered Marathon 2011 on Dec 4, Sunday. He looked very dejected when he saw himself stopping himself during the race. He recounted that he had been training very hard for the past several months. I also realised from him that Malcolm Sng Wei Ren, 22, reportedly collapsed at the finishing line at the Padang at approximately 8.30am. Jonathan told me that after attending to Malcolm, the doctors were attending to him as he was the next casualty. The doctors, having experienced the death of Malcolm, were very worried about Jonathan's state of severe dehydration. Luckily nothing happened.
Today, Jonathan did 3hr 09min and has given me an interview through the phone of this new personal best achievement.
