I think what matters most is a “good” race organizer to come up with a successful race.

I was trying to follow your pace as well. But at around km10, I gave up! You were just too strong and consistent for me, haha. I think I finished a good few minutes behind you. Means there is still a lot of work to do. But the good thing was that because I was trying to follow you, I ended up with a new PR which was around 3 minutes faster than my previous one!

Keep running sir! You inspire a lot…

Melvin
