POSB Run for Kids 2009.

This morning is the POSB Run for Kids 2009. Inaugural event. 8km run. Almost same route as the March Suburban run, except that it is 2km shorter.

Woke up at 0610 hrs to prepare. It rain quite heavily after i woke up. Luckily it is just passing shower.
Did the normal preparation, did not even bring drinks on site. Just brought my nathan race belt with no water bottle as i think 8km without water is ok. Left home at around 0635 hrs, reach carpark 142A around 0650 hrs. Stanley and Kok Meng has already reach the carpark. This is followed by Eddie and Tom (this is their debut run for both).

For this run, we have 10 runners which is a record of some sort. Manoj, Kok Meng, Sam, Stanley, Yuen See, Eddie, Tieng Leong, Tom, Rama and me. As this is a charity run, there is no timing chip. So it own time and own target.

As I have stopped running for 3 weeks due to the pain at my right leg (pain is still there), i do not expect much for this run. Maybe a sub 6 min pace for this 8km. Started with Sam, Eddie, Tieng Leong, Yuen See at almost the same time. Tried to keep up with Sam, but eventually failed to do so. Its no wonder he can do a 2 hrs 15 mins for a HM.

Tom and Rama did very well for their debut 8km. Tom finished at 60+ minutes and Rama finished 10 minutes later.

After the normal post race picture taking, some of us proceed to the Rivervale Mall for breakfast.
