The 61st Percentile

Joel shared with me at church this morning that the results for last Sunday's New Balance REAL Race has been released! I was excited to come home after church to check my results online. It turned out that I was position 1874 out of 3041 runners that completed the race!

I didn't know whether this is something to be happy about, coz in all my years of competitive running, I have never been in a position that comprise of 4 digits! It was shocking... but I knew that I did not train for this race, so it was already encouraging that I am in the 61st percentile of all the runners in the 'male open' category.

I made up my mind to train for next year's race and aim for below 1500th position and with a timing of below 1 hour. With a timing of 1 hr 11 mins and 17 secs without training, I am sure that I can better this timing! Hopefully this time, Rebecca can come and support me... and maybe take a few photos too... =)
