Participated in the New Balance Realrun 2007 for a the 15km run. This run consisted of 12km road, 1km trail(park connector), 1km beach and 1 km runway.
Completed in 1hr:29min.
That morning, picked up Kenneth Chin at Sengkang to the race event. It was Kenneth Chin's 1st 10km run.
Met DO, DreamRunners and Ultraman while queued for the mobile toilet.
The weather was good and it was hot toward the end of the run. A runner who ran up to me and decided to paced along me. He was from Australia and we chat and ran at the same time. Going at a 5:30 pace with him. Later at the 8km distance, I told him to go ahead as I intend to slow down my pace a little.
At the 10km mark, the time was 52min. I was happy to go sub 55min. Saw XuanXing with
with her camera and slowed to have a posed for a photoshot.
Next, the run into the Changi Coastal park trail of 1km and then into the beach sand for another 1km. I took the route to run on the seashore as compared to running on the sandy beach area. It was hot.
Next, turned out from the beach, I went to the toilet for peeing and washed my face. Took a longer break and then walked out to the main road. Met Tekko and we were commenting it was "shiong" and "hot" man.
After walking for a short while from the park & carpark to the main road, it was time to run again to finish the last leg. Picked up pace and turned into the runway.
Ahead was a piece of road land and seem to lead to nowhere. Just pushed myself to run and along the way, Luke came from behind and overtook me. He said that 'hey Kayano, that very smart of you to wear a sunglasses". Luke forgotten to bring his.
I pushed along and saw a young guy stopped running. I encouraged him to run and told him another 800m to go. He picked up pace and run ahead of me. Shouldn't have tell him. Let him walk. But I am not that kind of person.
Next I saw the hanger building and ran up the slope and picked up pace and turned left into the building leading to the final stretch to the Finish line.
Raced and crossed the Finish Line. Time completed 1:29.
Took a can of 100 plus and went into the aircon hanger exhibition area. Met the rest of the SGRunners members and we had a group picture taken.
Was feeling hungry and bought a package of Nasi Lemark and two packs of sandwiches. I sure can eat alot...
Stayed behind for a while to enjoy the atmosphere and then took off with Kenneth Chin in my car.
It was nice meeting SGRunners like Sealboon, Jason, Brokie, Jordan, Dream, DO, TLR, Ultra, Eliza, Freddy.
