Since everybody who didn't make the cut-off timing was diverted, the cheating would have appeared to be of epic proportions. 1 or 2 people I would assume to be cheating without much thought, but THIS many people shaving 20Km off a 35Km run? Did you have a moment when you went ...hang on....<br /><br />I mean if I was in an exam hall and 50% of the people took out their textbooks and started copying, I would probably catch an invigilator and ask if this was an open-book exam.

But don't you think that "not discouraging" can tantamount to encouraging? it's like "yeah, let them be! let them ruin our running pace because, well again, so what?"<br /><br />Your argument, sir, is just invalid.Hailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031353072695957533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14659586.post-86777205495795596252014-12-10T04:23:48.733+08:002014-12-10T04:23:48.733+08:00Jia Wei: With your higher moral grounds, why not v...Jia Wei: With your higher moral grounds, why not volunteer to help stand chartered to do a better job next time.

The only prob this yr was the inconsistent music at the start point that coz bird to shit on me when the music was suddenly turned on. <br /><br />Advice to organisers:<br />Do not frighten birds.<br />Make sure barricades are closed at the top, like a cage.<br />Make sure security personnel can run faster than runners and employ more than 3 at each entry point.<br />Lastly, make cutoff pt 3h to raise the standard of Singapore marathoning.. <br />Heng ar, nv implement this yr..

Try it. It may hurt if u r podium material, but till then get yourself the run to bond tee that holds so much meaning that I see often nowadays. <br /><br />Warrior, generally I wouldnt count myself as a runner, rather a jogger, unless with speedy friends, or during IPPT when $400 is a given. As such most times I really jog even for races =)<br /><br />Ling, I seriously cant be bothered about the distance.. Throw me any distance and I will show u what is nonDNF material.. Its the speed in the distance that is important and above and beyond all it is character more than fitness that really matters.. And in this case it begins with each individual rather than imposing your own expectations/character on others. Even if the blogger dont agree with the runners, he shouldnt be posting their pics without permission. Where is his ethics as a photographer for a national event. I think organisers have media passes for official photgraphers and if he is an official, he should be barred from future events. The right thing to do would be to submit photos and other evidence to organisers for discussion.<br /><br />In any case, he has opened himself to legal scrutiny.<br /><br />Cheating is not encouraged, but even killing is divided into manslaughter and murder..<br /><br />Now what?<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645870742190202981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14659586.post-78922937988210293812014-12-10T01:30:03.267+08:002014-12-10T01:30:03.267+08:00People such as Paresh are what I call real friends...People such as Paresh are what I call real friends if they cost share the lawsuit with u..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645870742190202981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14659586.post-28485047521163066122014-12-10T01:05:37.001+08:002014-12-10T01:05:37.001+08:00People such as Paresh are what I call real friends...People such as Paresh are what I call real friends if they cost share the lawsuit with u..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645870742190202981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14659586.post-9401289258141972382014-12-10T01:02:37.425+08:002014-12-10T01:02:37.425+08:00Any race less than 50k that charges more than $1/k...Any race less than 50k that charges more than $1/km is rubbish and I jave since repented and not paid for em..
