lesson learned for me. sports is always humbling
if this sat scotching hot again.. i drive and park at marina barrage with ice cooler box :ROFLMAO:

The marina barrage water cooler is not cold one.

But seriously, just run with a vest and get 2 x 250ml soft flask, refill at Esplanade water cooler which is cold, esp if you start at 6am or so. Along the water just squeeze some cold water over the head/body as you loop around MBS and GBTB area, and refill several times along the way.

Some people run in MBS as well, one to and fro loop is 1km. AC wont be super cold but still is a good ~ 5 deg C cooler than outside. Before 8am is 100% fine, nobody cares, seen solo folks doing that before. But not sure if 21km and above is ok. 😅

ps. Seen cyclists rolled their expensive bikes into the toilet area as well over there. 😅 But is early morning lah, before sunrise.

And he is just in LT2. Predominantly type 1 muscle. His slow twitch is faster than everyone's fast twitch..

Actually can we imagine for 1 second, that if there was no Sebastian Sawe around, then Keljecha would be the sole WR holder for both full marathon and half marathon, and the only 1 man around the world over the whole history of mankind to have ran a sub-2 marathon?

The rest of this year's marathon will be interesting.

where's the esplanade water cooler? On that thought also the ones at marina barrage,GBTB and MBS area?
In the past most of the time I swing into ECP after coming down from kallang pcn. But the last few runs I found the "sights and sound" so much more interesting on the other side :ROFLMAO:

Here at the red arrow where the toilet is. Is usually ice cold unless someone empties the whole lot of cold water.

I find the sights most interesting around MBS/GBTB/BEG areas. Coz of the nearby gyms at Tg Pagar / Shenton/Robinson rd areas also that's why.

Seriously speaking, dont know where is joshua Cheptegi. He could also (re)-claim the 10k road record from Kejelcha but i guess 10k track is a more prestigious thingy since track got 10km distance....which means it would include it is also a championship discipline in major races including Olympics. Think he is struggling a bit with marathon distance.
