Joined Jurong Lake Run for the first time this year.
Woke up to swaying trees and strong wind.
Wash up and had breakfast before heading back to bed and monitoring the rain.
Told myself if it doesn't stop by 630am i am not going.
In the end... it stopped around 630. Hurried off to take a bus down to Jurong East with Leesheng...
Reached there pretty late and by the time we had to put our baggage and warm up,
the 6km runners were already in queue... had to squeeze all the way to the front and start...
whao crazy start.. however, thanks to the morning rain, the run was cooling..
the route was close to perfect, because by the time i reach mid mark, the crowd kinda spreads out,
thus, given the narrow route, i was able to overtake. however, at around my 5km mark,
the 6km fastest runner was whizzing pass me. they even had bicycle ushers to 'open road'
for them, and this guy knocked me so hard i almost lost my momentum,
wah lao cannot run on the left meh...
anw, it was tiring... but feel good... in fact it was my best run this year. hehe
ample water points, although i didn't stop at any.
thanks to the supporters at the side, gave me motivation when i needed it! lol
completed the race in 1 hr 42 secs according to my time.
official timing not out yet.
good time for me i guess, its almost 7 mins pass sundown and 3.5mins pass mount faber.
more to come :)
the only setback was the long waiting time to the 100plus, medal and finisher tee...
Babe came to meet me after the run, had mac breakfast aft tt :)
KO-ed!
as a motivation/reward, i will buy compression tights for myself once I beat the hour mark!
