Standard Chartered HK Half Marathon
17C, light to heavy rain throughout. After last year's not so good run, I hadn't plan on running in this race due to the lack of training. But a half marathon spot became available so I thought I would take it as a training run instead. BP was also slottedin the same wave as me, with similar target pacing. So we met up before the race and pretty much ran the whole way together. Rain was heaviest as we waited for the starting gun, and it kept coming for the whole race, except for the few respite we get when running through the tunnels. Since we were in the last wave, we had to navigate through heavy traffic, bobbing and weaving our way, which made the run more challenging. Nonetheless, satisfied that we kept a fairly even pacing throughout, and the effort mostly felt comfortable. The celebratory lunch buffet afterwards with the gang was the highlight though.
