BR Run - LSD

Venue is Bedok Reservior. Time is 5am. We started off shortly after 5am with 7. Joanna, Evangline, Yankee, Ronnie, Bee, Christopher and myself.


We are running part of the Sundown route. From Bedok Reservior, Tampines connector, Pasir Ris connector, Loyang and eventually U-Turn at Changi Point(7-11). Distance 30km(estimate)


Pace was okay. We run pretty closely together for the first part. Maybe except for the "cute one" which ran pretty far in front of us. I was trying to go slow and maintain a decent HR. It was okay for the first 5km. After that it deteriorate and HR went bonkers. I do not know what happen,but i know signs of trouble is brewing, slow but growing. I tried to go even slower but it didn't help. Sigh...

At 10km mark(near the mosque), someone wanna U-turn back. Unfortunately, the one that always wanna take discount, choose not to...so that someone....have no kaki but to join the rest of us to Changi Point(7-11). Haha. This have nothing to do with me!

Christopher has an appointment so he turn back when we reach commando camp. By the time we split, estimate distance is 14km+. I was very tired. Breathing is getting heavy, i know it is going to be an extra long and tiring workout ahead. I just couldn't run much with HR constantly reaching high.

I would have taken a cab/bus back from changi point.....but it didn't materialise. Even though we have a long break, buy water from 7-11, toilet break at the hotel. HR remains high. Even walking from there till Bedok Reservoir(which take about 2hours), HR refuse to calm down!

It was a long walk back with Bee and Ronnie. Even though we took a short cut back, it took an awful long time to walk under the hot sun back to Bedok Reservoir.

We reached the end around 10:40am. That is a whopping 5hr+ for a 27km(estimate).

It has been like that for a few months. i just couldn't understand why only "running" i am facing with this problem. Maybe it is a sign that telling me to hang up the running shoes for good.
