Banana Race

The long awaited Banana Race aka Kin Jio Race. :p A race that the organiser gather together and bully Tigger! So Bias hor? So openly somemore! Where is justice?

Reached ECP carpark C2 around 5:05am. Joined shortly by Heeshen, Cheng Ping, Joanna, Wei Ming, Ailin, Ray and Benny. The menu for this morning is to do a bike session before going for the banana race at 8am.

We started off late, because Ray and Benny were late! Where are our treat! Must remember to claim it next time!

We started the ride towards Coastal Road and Changi Point. Heeshen and Cheng Ping started the ride first as they need to rush back earlier as they are helping up in preparing for Banana Race. Whereas the rest of us take our time. Benny is on his own as his fierce Cevelo is too fast for our Mountain Bikes.

Wei Ming and Ailin have cycle from home (18-22km) to join us. Apparently they are pretty tired, especially on the return leg from changi point carpark 2.

I did around 18km in 53mins for the first part. It was a good ride, legs are feeling okay, cruising along nicely. Had a good tactical halt waiting for the rest and have a good chit chat before we headed back. On the way back, have a good chat with Joanna with pretty good pace. In quick time, we are back to the carpark around 7:45am. Average 21.8km/hr, 1:40hr for 36.56km.

Head over to Banana race and get my body mark! Wow, thanks to Heeshen, Mark and Yingzi(This one not official!), i have 2 beautiful painted hands!

Meet with alot of runners. Some old faces, some familiar(don't know their nick) and some interesting characters.

The race started off with sling runner leading the charge! I have no idea it was him until someone pointed it out! I couldn't believe that was him! Given the impression he is a very fast runner, look can be "deceiving"! :P

Meet up with Lionel's baby sister, Loon! My team mate of Jazzy and meimei.(Team Victoria Secret!) and many others(better don't put name here, later miss out some :p)

It was fun. Each of us have to run 2 sets of 3km with a banana on hand. Hehe. I was the 3rd runner for the team. By the time i started my run, some team first runner had done their 2 session! Haha. It is okay lah, it is just for fun.

Anyway, tigger's team kena "block" so many times by organiser, that everyone turn a blind eye! Where is justice? *crying foul!*

I did first lap in 13:30mins around 4:30/km pace. Pretty decent lah. 2nd lap in 15mins around 5min/km. I was the last 2nd person on the road, so take it easy. :p

Thanks to IMD, moderators and volunteers, Tigger have a great time. The kind sponsors are equally appreciated. Not to mention my team mates that have to endure the "abuse" that was dished out to team Victoria Secret! The rest of the sgrunners make up a good morning workout.

I have to dash away right after the event and didn't have the opportunity to stay behind and mingle more which is a damper.

I have a bad abrasion due to the shorts! Damn it! The calves are aching! I do not know why! Maybe i didn't do warm down stretching as i have to rush for time after the event.

Phew, what a great morning. :p
