National Day Special

Long weekend of 3 days this weekend. Monday being the replacement holiday for National Day on Sunday.

Though next saturday is AHM, we still proceed to run 44km(24+20) to celebrate how old Singapore is. For us, we have run long enough to know what we can/cannot do before AHM.

Date: 10th aug 09
Time: 6:45am
Venue: MR Carpark
Distance: 20km
Route: MR - Rifle Range - BTMBT entrance(U-turn) - Rifle Range - Ranger Station - MR

11 of us started the run this morning. The pace was slightly faster in the start. I take my time running along. The need to purchase a new fuel belt has increase, after the holder of the bottle no longer able to hold on. The bottle dropped twice and i ended up having to carry it on hand. Sigh. Finish the first part in 25mins, which is decent pace for me.

We proceed to jog over to Ranger station, instead of walking this time round. I felt okay, but given the pace of the group, i don't think i can handle the entire distance. It is going to be struggle later. I decide to cut short the distance, while the rest proceed forward. I know i am not what i am use to and need to pull back with AHM in 6 days time in mind.

For some reason, i don't wanna run. I do brisk walk with Tao and chit chat along. It is nice to sweat it out and have a nice walk out.

A 10.5km of run/walk is good enough for today.

Red Star for breakfast.....Yummy!

P/S: The bathing facilities in the new facilities are a good change...Cool! The shower head is something i dun appreciate the design.
