Looks like he ran 2:26:27, congratulations!
Thanks!!
After sending him off, I waited for him KM 7 and he was running alone, with a pack of runners 1-2 secs in front of him with Soh Rui Yong inside. Overall he ran a good first half in 62:08, 1 second behind Soh Rui Yong. He couldnt sustain the pace at KM 28 and starts to trail, until KM 35 where he suffers really badly with the time of 18:18 KM35-KM40 and finish in 2:26:27. He went all out by the time he reached the finishing line with almost no energy left.
He PBed by 58 seconds this time. This is by far the smallest gain in PB in his marathon career, before it was all 3 - 4 minutes every time. His longest run is 29km, and I personall think he needs longer runs for his next marathon training cycle. He also vomited at the hotel after the race. Do you think too much sugar is the cause? Or was the effort too much for his body?
This is his split for the race.
