My First Full Marathon at Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon 2017

************************ Running a Full Marathon - ✔ ************************ Ticked off the bucket list of things to do before I die. I finally ran my first Full Marathon last Sunday (21/05/2017) at the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon 2017. Being my first FM, my target was to complete it under 5 hours. Was I being too ambitious? Maybe. I actually completed 42KM in 5:08:36, not bad for a virgin FM-er eh? However, my GPS watch tracked 43.17KM in 5:06:56. According to my friend, our GPS watch is slightly inaccurate as some parts of the course are not tracked by the GPS. I was supposed to have 2 others running kakis to run FM with me this year but they missed the registration date. Slots were sold out so quickly this year! Despite me reminding them to sign up every now and then, they still missed it 😠. We were past participants for the previous year so we had the opportunity to pre-register before the slots opened. Anyway, went to collect my racepack on Thursday aftern
