No point talking about how happy, unhappy, satisfied, pissed off with the result. It is over, moving forward.
So, result is out, pretty fast.

What is good?
1. I ran most of the time, very brief walk at the water station
2. No cramp, probably enough of hydration and salt
3. Giving out water bottle (just nice to drop a nuun tablet in)
4. Enough fueled, took 1 Gu gel 15 minutes before the run and then 1 every 1 hour. The last one almost make me puke
What is bad?
1. No banana by the time i hit the u-turn at the Jelutong highway
2. Not enough water station at the Jelutong highway, despite of the feedback during the runner session briefing at Crystal Crown.
3. What happen to corn starch cup? I tot i can get some extra nutrient :)
4. Traffic control for the fun run
Targeting 5h15m for my next FM. when leh huh?

it was a tough condition to run especially for first timers, so you did well, you should be proud of yourself .. you can always do better the next time, which i am sure something that is achieveable :)
You did great! You will improve over times but don't be like me, I did my worst ever in SCSM last weekend :P
