Penang Bridge Half Marathon 2022

I did it! I have achieved the goal I set for myself over a year ago (at the very last race of the year). Completing a race of actual Half Marathon with a Pace of less than 6'00 (min/km) or time of 2 hour and 6 minutes.


I completed in pace of 5'53 min/km or 2 hours and 6 minutes over distance of 21.42km. 


The first 12km is 5'50 min/km. 13th - 20th km are 6'00 min/km and the final 1.4km are faster than the first 20km. 


The heart rate is surprisingly steady with maximum at only 175. The small rain prior to the race has cool the weather and the wind on the bridge has made this easier. 


The legs' soreness are under control and no real sign of cramp. I believe the salt and gel are doing great job.


Official Results: Rank 434 of 9619 overall  (top 4.5%) Rank 379 of 6628 men (5.7%). Rank 108 of 1814 of Veteran men (top 5.9%)
