Nice blog,
chanced randomly upon it while browsing.
very impressive that u r training for a triathlon. dont know of any one here in india who has done that.
enjoyed rading ur older posts as well incl singapore marathon. couldnt make out, but i guess ur best for 42K is still 4:00+?
as for me, well i plan to run my 1st 42k in jan'10. i did my 21k in mumbai '09 in 1:59 which is my best ever timing. So hope to do a 42K later in around 4:30 - 4:45
cheers

Thanks for the nice words. Yes I have not done a sub 4hr marathon, and don't think I will be able to ever do it in India given the humidity levels. I am hoping to take up a multi stage ultra before the Triathlon, which is more mental endurance than physical one.
Nice to see the progress you are making, 4.30 is definitely on, if you can do a Sub 2hr half marathon.
Best wishes.
