Venue: Paya Lebar Air Base
2nd time doing this event. This time round, need to pay for the endurance 45km, but it came with the event shirt, medal and timing.
Woke up at 0610 hrs to get myself prepare. Will be riding there, approx distance was 10km.
1) Bike
2) Helmet
3) Gloves
4) Sun glasses
5) Money
6) Handphone
Left home at 0700 hrs. Took a easy ride there, along the way, saw more and more cyclists as i near the Air Base. About 45 minutes to cover the 10km.
Line up and cleared the security checkpoint. Started taking pictures of the air base.
There is the new F-15 eagle being displayed in addition to the F-16 Falcon. Got to say mighty impressive plane.
There are also booth set up for the kids and the various sponsors.
At around 0815, proceed to the starting point which is the runway. The race was flagged off at 0830 hrs. Same as the last time, 3 loops around the air base. This time no need to collect rubber band as there are electronic gantry.
Rested to refill the water and down a pack of power gel near the end of the second lap, at around 27-28km mark. After that proceed to complete the last lap. It was quite windy at the finishing stretch of the runway. Managed to complete just after 2 hours. By then, the sun was bloody hot and i was basically "baking".
After completing, bought a can of H2O isotonic ($1), fishball ($1.20) and nugget ($1.40) from old chang kee as i would still need to ride back the 10km home.
After eating, went to hanger 2 to collect the event shirt and finisher medal.
Before heading home, top up H2O with my bottle near the entrance. This time round, i skipped the Museum and rode home.
Managed to reach home at around 1130 hrs.
