My first day in Singapore. Not my first time to visit this city state, but my first time to come here for a race - my fourth marathon and my first-ever on foreign soil. Wifey and I are staying at the Mandarin Orchard Singapore - about a hundred meters away from the Full Marathon starting line. It doesn't get any more convenient than this.
After a nice brunch and settling into our hotel room, we headed to Marina Bay to pick up my race entry pack. The entire process was a breeze - a computerized database of registered runners, countless volunteers to man the booths, very spacious venue. No long queues at all because today and tomorrow are devoted to foreign runners who have yet to pick up their race packs.

One more full day of R&R before the big race. Best of luck to all my fellow Pinoy marathoners who will be pounding the streets of Singapore on Sunday. Here's hoping that everything would turn out well for all of us, so that, come Sunday night, the brewskie would taste juuuust a little bit better!
Good luck and have fun, Julius!
