Today, I came in the tenth position in the International Masters Open race for men. 1st, 2nd and 3rd position, and also 4th and 5th position came from Kenyan runners by the name of Kipkoech Bowen (2hr 23min 22sec), Kuino David (2hr 31min 36sec) and Christopher Rono (2hr 33min 31sec), who were first, second and third position.
As for me, I am happy that I came in the tenth position of the International Masters Open for marathon race with a nett time of 3hr 10min and 17sec. I also realised that I was the only Singaporean who came in the top ten, where the rest of the position was taken by other countries runners.
The next good news is about my former Hwa Chong athletes, Teng Jian Hong, S. Jeevaneesh, Mun Yong Liang, Jian Ler, Augustine Tan and Darren Toh coming in second for the Men Ekiden Race. It is good to see them continuing to run and compete. I hope to see them progress.

As a matter of fact, my real training actually came in the last 1 month. Usually, I take about 3 months to train for a marathon.
I would like to thank Flexifitness athletes who came to support us by cheering towards the last portion of the race and to those who have supported me in Face book.
