Comments:

Run was going as planned through 18kms with 28min 5km splits. But then quickly realized that not stopping at any of the drinking stations was a terrible idea. Figured my fuel belt was enough to keep me hydrated.
What would you do differently?:

get drinks at drink stations to avoid heat stroke & dehydration.
Post race
Warm down:

tried to get fluids and isotonics in my system as quickly as possible. needed to get blood flowing in my arms again too.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

dehydration!

Event comments:

Will take this on again next year and clock in a sub 2hr finish. Learned from my mistakes. Don't mess with Singapore heat & humidity!
