Back to update about my 4th 10km (or 11km+)!
The breakfast that my brother prepares for me for my morning races - overnight oats! Doesn't look the most appetizing but it actually tastes pretty good.
He walked me out again to catch the shuttle bus! Super thankful for him. Preparing my breakfast and then this. :-)
The long-awaited bus ride lolol. I actually love the bus ride to the races a lot because it just gives me this sense of peace and tranquility. Sad that I couldn't get the window seat this time though lol but it was a very good ride there still!!
Arrived at the Kallang race track! Shocked to see so many people there, but I totally understood why at the end of the race!
Before flag-off. We were in the 3rd wave! I think there were more. :-O
So crazily packed! Couldn't even see the starting point.
& finally.. the finishing point!!!
The route for this race was super scenic and smooth! Or maybe minus the fact that there were quite a few slopes. I really hate slopes so much, especially at the later half when I already feel like dying. I guess if I've to point out another drawback about this race would be the timing. It started a little too late so we had to run in the scorching sun at the back, which obviously didn't help with anything. Other than that, I think this is one of the better races (overall) that I've been to out of the 4! The welfare was pretty good, with ample hydration points during and at the end of the race. Route was pretty spacious as well. We didn't have to squeeze with the crowd despite the large turnout. The distance markers were pretty accurate too, but I have no idea why the race still continued for 1km+ after the 10km mark. Didn't train as much as compared to my previous races because of work + me falling sick for a week before that so I didn't do as well/better than before. :-( Actually quite disappointed in my performance. :-/
At the finishing point yayyyyy.
Went around to take pictures after that (as usual) heheh.
Super nice (and heavy) medal!
Went to the hydration point like so many times hahaha.
With our finisher tees! And our tiny eyes because of the scorching sun.
Went off for breakfast together after at Kith Cafe! Heard good reviews about it so we went to give it a try. :-)
Really thankful for her for this run!!! Thanks for waiting for me when I wasn't in tip-top condition and all, and just the company for this! :-)
Thankful to God for blessing us with a smooth run and good weather too! It was hot but at least it wasn't raining hahaha. This will probably be my last official 10km for quite awhile? I signed up for my first ever 21.1km so good luck to me hahaha. I've really got to train properly for it if not I can just prepare to roll to the finishing point.
Still have more to blog about and I hope I can complete it before my trip! I guess I'll just see how it goes heh.
Till then! :-)
