GeoC Tough race due to unexpected high humidity - 95% and 27C. Cramping in calves started at 16K followed by cramps in quads and hams later on. Never had cramp in races before. Had to run remaining 26K with run - walk - stop strategy to finish!! A lot of runners with cramp along the whole way and saw 2 persons out with para medics in attendence!! Did not stop during last mile as crowd helped lifted me to the line and medal. Splits - 10K 51:18; Half 1:50:23; 30K 3:00:18. Normally only 15 - 20C and lower humdity for Hong Kong in Feb. Anyway, good experience and glad did not quit and take the bus. No more maras in tropical climates!! Unaffiliated 4:09:08 4:28:30 3:57:00 4:38:41 46.85
