Ran 21.1km using my colleague Louis bib as he cannot make it due to injuries.
Starting time is 12 midnight at F1 pit.
No preparation for this race at all. The longest run before this was the 10km run to Thomson Plaza.
Just hope that my leg injuries during the trampoline session 3 months ago has recovered enough for me to complete the race.
Left home at 2210 hrs. Meeting place with Joycelin, Soon Pheng, Eddie, Meng Xin was at Suntec tower 4. Planned to park at Suntec.
Road block just after Raffles City due to NDP. Based on the traffic police, turn right at 3rd traffic light (Ophir road) and blah blah blah to reach Suntec. Did a big loop and reach Marina Bay Sands, was wondering whether i went the wrong way and almost decide to text the others not to wait for me. Eventually, the road does indeed lead to Suntec.
Met up with the rest at around 2315 hrs. Only brought car key, money and tissue paper in the Garmin belt.
Proceeded to the race village and starting point. Went toilet and set our rendezvous point after the race. Make our way to the starting pen. Slight delay from flag off and flagged off was in waves. Only crossed the starting point just before 0030 hrs.
Plan was simple as usual, slow jog to every hydration point. Was happy to be able to stick to this plan. At the 20km mark, slowed down and walk for some distance to enjoy the sight and night.
Crossed the finished point at around 2 hrs and 47 minutes.
Collected finisher medal, 100 plus, plain water, banana and Counterpain. Went to meeting point, Soon Pheng and Eddie was in massage tent. Joycelin and Meng Xin came in slightly later.
Walked back to carpark, spent some time looking for the car. Parking charges is $6.60. Reached home at around 0455 hrs. Eat maggie mee with egg before hitting the bed.
