Third and last half marathon for 2015

Running vest, bib number and flipbelt.

I completed the Penang Bridge International Marathon 2015 half marathon within my target time of 2:45:00, finishing at 2:43:37 (unofficial time, care of Runkeeper)!

As with my second HM attempt, I didn't expect much.  This particular run started very early, gun time was at 3:15am.  Plan that weekend was to sleep early on Saturday afternoon to wake up by 12:30am Sunday, get ready and out of the house by 1am to secure a parking slot.  Alas, I slept only between 4 - 7:30pm and no matter what I did,  I couldn't go back to a deep sleep.

On the road at 1am, I saw how cars were bumper to bumper towards the designated parking areas, I didn't want to risk it so I decided to park in a nearby residential park, more than a kilometer away. The 30minute walk served as my warm up exercise :)

The Men's Half Marathon started at 3:00am.

It was tough to run while your body's begging for sleep.  Unlike my second HM when I ran almost entirely the whole stretch, this run had me walking so many times, I lost count.  When I finally saw the last 1km marker, I pushed hard and really ran towards the finish line.  It was an amazing feeling, a real high, to meet my target time!  A great finish to this year's half marathon runs.
