SCSM 06 - Pacer Team

A month back i have decided to be part of this year SCSM 06 Pacer Team. It is a community service rendered to the runners organised primarily by Trifam group. I am not a fast or gifted runner. I hope with my small effort here will make it a special day for someone out there.

The team have started training together about 1 month or so back. Make up of runners from different sectors. Due to my New York event, i didn't run with the team often. Nevertheless i do have opportunities to run with the intented group of runners doing similiar timings.

Being a Pacer put additional responsibility on the shoulder. This is not about personal glory. This is not about US, this is about the RUNNERS. We want to assist as many runners as possible to reach their intended time target.

It is not that simple being a Pacer aka hare for other to pace, drift or tag along. All Pacer team members have completed quite a handful of Marathons. All the pacer are assigned to a time slot that are much lower than their Personal Best(PB). In fact some of us are going to hit PB again, by running the slowest Marathon timing for being a Pacer!

We don't have much goodies given, the only ONE that i have taken is to purchase the Pacer running gear at S$45(subsidise price). If you call that goodie! This is purely based on community services on the runner(pacer) part to assist other runners.

I am officially handed the timeslot of 5:00hr with 5 more runners. Any runners aiming for 5hrs, do follow us. We'll bring you to your intended target.
