Report

Took on the Singapore Record for most westerly point to easterly point of Singapore with Tom Hine. . Totally unsupported apart from a dive into a petrol station for a a couple of 100Plus.

Much more straight forward route than north to south and roads all the way.

Started at 04:30am in Tuas and managed to get the main roads first 20km out of the way before most of Singapore was awake. Then we moved on to Alexandra Linear Park and down through the Quays and into the City. Once we hit the Barrage it was just straight road Park Connector to the finish. For even the most hardened runner the last 8km road that runs parallel to the airport is soul destroying.

Ran this with Tom Hine who completed not only his first marathon but ultra in the same run.
