The year started with Sgrunners banana run on January at West Coast Park near McDonalds with 3 loops. Four months later on May, it was 25km passion run followed by Adidias Sundown Marathon the following week. Sundown marathon was signed up at the last minutes when they released additional slot. I decide to give it a try even though 25km was already a very tough distance and i think i suffered during the marathon due to this.

Two months later on July, it was tri factor half marathon. Signed up for this as it was held near my home, near the Sengkang sports and recreation centre. Managed to scrape under 2:30 hrs.

On September, 3 back to back races. The first was Yellow Ribbon Prison run. It was raining the whole race and the rain was quite heavy. Quite an experience and i ran with poncho for the whole run. Also managed to scrape under 1 hours with seconds to spare.

Army half marathon was the following week and can be considered a poor run. Was not feeling particularly well. Jogged the first 8km and walk/jog for the rest of the distance. Was happy that i managed to complete it considering my condition.

The last run was POSB run for kids. As usual, signed up for this as it was held near my home, near the Sengkang sports and recreation centre. Did a 6km jog (additional training for north face) before the actual 8.5km race. Suffered for the 8.5km race and completed the 8.5km race on 63 minutes.

Got my first DNF race the following month on October. The 50km North Face. Very little trail training, only one 21km run with Punggol runners before this. Energy sapping run and very tough for me. Called it a day after coming out the Lorong Asrama loop. 32km for 5 hrs and 45 mins.

November was the Swissotel Vertical marathon. One of the most expensive race considering the time vs the registration fees. 3rd time running. Was surprised that i managed to do a PB. Just over 15 minutes.

SCMS was on the first week of December. This year has 3 different starting points but all will end at Padang. I started at Orchard road on 5am and just before 11am, i crossed the finished line. My first sub 6 marathon on my fourth attempts.

The last run was the MR25 Ultra marathon. Minimum 5 laps from 7am to 7pm. My first time doing this and i was quite afraid of another DNF. But fortunately it came up quite well and naturally i was very happy to complete the 5 laps (51km) with 8 hrs and 48 minutes.
