Now you know why the Marathon in Singapore is always the most siong (tough) duty that we always go??

"CHICAGO - In a race run in scorching heat that left one man dead, Kenya's Patrick Ivuti won the Chicago Marathon by a fraction of a second Sunday. At least 49 runners were taken to hospitals and another 250 were treated at the site."

Just look at the statistics.

The 88-degree heat and sweltering humidity were so draining that organizers shut down the second half of the course four hours after the start.

88 degree Fahrenheit = 31.1111111 degree Celsius

Just like the weather in Singapore. So, start preparing for the Singapore Marathon!
