This is my first road race, and should be the pre-race of Hong Kong Marathon,
but the training was hindered by the foot pain after
Trailwalker in last November, and the laxity of medial collateral ligament of the left knee.

Start
I started behind the crowd, and there was little room to run.
When I squeezed through and run, it's still too slow,
so I jumped to the left (one metre higher) where little traffic was there.

Race pace
Mostly gliding, slowing down when going up, and passing others on running down.
After passing TP (C), I tried faster, hoping to finish within 2hr.

Food and drink
I held a pack of jelly in hand and drank in the mid-way, because I always hit the wall after 1hr45min.
I also drank on every water stations.

I finished in 1:52'34.
99th in M1 / 177 finishers in 2:30
576th overall / 1042 finishers in 2:30

And the certificate finally comes 4 months afterwards
