MONIQUE'S MARATHON DAY

After weeks of training, Monique ran the 2XU Compression half marathon last Sunday. 

"Waking up in the dark to be on time for the 5.30am start at the F1 Pit Building. The track took us via Nicoll Highway along the new stadium, Geylang River, Kallang River, Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands back to the Pit Building for the finish.

After 9km, so not even half way there, the legs were getting tired and the Singaporean temperatures were making the run quite challenging. Nevertheless I managed to run the 21km within 2:03:54 (gun time) and ended 78th place of the 2093 female participants (ranked by gun time). Something to be pretty proud of! Now it’s time to celebrate before setting a new goal."
