Congratulations to hubby Oscar Hung for completing his 1st marathon yesterday, and what more impressive is that he did it BAREFOOT. He had done many 5Ks and triathlon barefoot, and this is the longest race he did barefoot. He has been training for the last 8 months. I see that he really dedicated a lot of time, energy, and effort into it.
Praise the Lord it was a miracle that I was able to capture a video of Oscar passing the finish line. His watch went out of battery after 18mi, so I have no idea when he would be crossing the finish line. He told me his goal time was 4hr 20min, but he didnt actually crossed until 6hr 11min based on official start time (His actual finished time was 5hr 46 min). Even if I started recording as soon as I see him, I would have missed it since he was sprinting passed the finish line. I was praying very hard while waiting to let me capture him. Thankfully I was on and off recording video, and he happened to pass the finish line when I was recording. I would be sad if I went through all the trouble to wake up early at 330am and walked around an hr to look for the perfect spot and held the camera in place for 1.5 hrs and missed him.
Also, special thanks to Christine Bond from Onbalance massage who was able to give Oscar a massage after the race, and we were able to take a nice hot bath afterward and slather ourselves with aloe after all the sun exposure.
