New Balance Real Run 05

8:45am at Sentosa is the New Balance Real Run 05
Road/Sand/Trail Run, one of the kind in Singapore, how can i miss it? I have signed up quite some time ago. It should be fun.

I picked up ShiYao and Simon and headed to Sentosa, reached there around 7:30am thinking i should be able to get a carpark at Visitor Arrival Hall. I was dead wrong. Sigh...the place is packed with car, and i am lucky to find a side road near gateway and get a decent parking lot.

It was a hot morning, before the race start, i am already wet(at the back). Today i had my Mizuno Rider shoe for its opening "public" run, Adidas cap (Virgin usage) and my KL(Petaling) Oakley Sunglass....haha...so many first, just for Real Run....

We meet with sgrunners & Safra runners there, there are so many of them, cannot remember so many leh...sometime feel so chaotic, make worst by my bad memory for names.

Alex came and start distributing the stickers. Wah, nice sticker but its seems doesnt want to stick on my shoulder for some reason. So sad....

The race start and less than 100 metres the sticker have left my shoulder....sian...ran at a slow steady pace for 5km(25:05), hit the sand, feel okay lah...push abit during the sand part, i guess it takes abit out of myself. The sand is about 500 metres and back to the road is a nice change. Hit the sand again, this time round struggle a bit on the sand. Actually slow down during this part, it is okay lah taking this opportunity to recovery.

Somehow after this sand part, i seem to be struggling for some reasons, which i cannot understand. When i reach the trail, i just looking forward to the finishing line. The game plan is to chiong the trail, but this time round, my body is not responding and i actually slow down to almost a walk. I can only remember everyone overtaking me. So sad, the last part was struggling for me, not a decent run from me even. I am getting stitch...woah....i have seldom or not even think of getting stitch before in any run(may it be training or public runs). I glad it finished at 55:05 for me.

It was a nice experienced for me. I cannot explain my finish part demise. I have not have good training for a while, maybe that is the reason i am not conditional enough. Anyway it is okay i live to run for another day.

After the run meet up with the rest of the sgrunners, take a few photos and left.
