Winner of the women’s category at the Sundown Marathon 2019, 30-year-old Sharon Tan shares with us her race experience and the type of exercise schedule that she maintains.
What were your goals and expectations for the 2019 Sundown Marathon?
I had won this race in 2016, however, this year, I did not have any major expectations as I used it as a warm-up race for my next big race, the Gold Coast Marathon. I did hope, however, for myself to be able to sustain a pace of under 5min/km in time for a sub 03:30 marathon finish.
How was the route, and did the starting delays caused any inconvenience?
