This is another race that I will not forget… A 10KM race that is so tough to me. Broke my PB here. 48:37. This means a lot to me. Cause hitting a sub 50 min timing for 10KM (That is a benchmark for serious runners!) is always what I wanted to do and it is not easy to hit it in this race but I did it anyway. Why it is not easy? Few reasons. 1. Poor start point management. They say want to give people under 50 min a red tag so that they can be at the front of the start area. I tell them that and they give me a Blue tag. Damn! (The frustrating thing is they never ask some people and straight away give them red tag. Did they write the name elite on their forehead? I dun think so.) Cannot get into the red area and can only be in Blue area which is behind a bit. So too bad. Whoever block my way genak elbow by me and I have to cheong harder to breakaway. That cause me to overexert too much too soon. 2. The drizzle along the way make the run tough at areas like Clarke Quay. The terrain at Clarke Quay is not rain friendly. The tile flooring and rain made it a super slippery ground. Downslopes made it worse. So many people slipped and fall and I have to exercise caution and stride control to prevent that. 3. Some part of the course was narrow and can be very crowded. But thank goodness that I broke away early and there was lot more room in front. Here’s a picture showing my speed graph through the 10KM.

Ran the race with many folks of Runfanatics. Got a lot of photos as well. Post them later…HAPPY!
