Oh yah, you're right, I remember starting off the race with the relay people last year. Hmm.. I saw it in the mailer as something new, I guess its the distance that is new, if I'm not wrong the relay was not 12.8km x 4 last year. 

Don't worry about it...It is widely believed that the hamstrings undergo an eccentric muscle fiber action (they are lengthening while being activated) during the swing phase of high-speed running. Hence, eccentric exercises can be incorporated into your running programs to prevent hamstring injuries and improve sports performance. Eccentric strengthening exercises are what you need, maybe a little too much running (and too fast) may also cause your hamstrings to work too hard (stretch and strain). Have a balance, Strengthening (and Stretching) Exercises for Newbie Runners...

Last year both of CSC run and ASICS relay clashed, this year they clash again. And my concern in this year is they not only clash on schedule, but also probably clash on the race route... Let's see how it goes...

I thought previous years also have relay? But I could be wrong. Paging @lonewolf

And it all on my right side. I also felt the discomfort and pain on my stomach on the right side. While doing my sit up after the run. When I press on the upper and inner tight area and the lower tight and calf muscle. I can felt the discomfort and pain.
