1. Don't follow chio bu (for too long)

After sort of 'following' one for about 20km, I overtook her and then got a bad groin cramp. The cramps killed me at the end of the run. :(

2. Take power gel only when you're near the end.

The organisers provided a free power gel for each runner at the 26km mark. I ate the power gel not long after they gave me, thinking it will cure my cramps. It did. I also got a second burst of speed until 30+ km but at the end, I felt like crap with no energy. Power gel is like red bull; it gives you (temporary) wings....

3. Train for your marathon if you want to do it properly.



Here are some real men you should take a look at:
Terry Fox
NUS lecturer Dr Kua Harn Wei - Only Asian to complete 10 ironmans in 10 days. (Deca-Iron)
Yong Yuen Cheng - Longest Distance Covered By A Runner In Three Days {Singapore Record} [NJC Canoeing Teacher!]
