Singapore Bay Run


The results for the Singapore Bay Run that Paul and I participated in are out! I did the 12km run and came in 24th/334 (Net Time - 1:13:50) I would say not too shabby considering this is the very first time in my life I am running 12km! The only other running event I had participated in earlier this year was the 5.6km JP Morgan fun run (which was pretty darn UN-fun)
The Singapore Bay Run compared with the JP Morgan fun run was FAR better... We could pretty much run the whole way and the routes were wide enough so that there were no real bottlenecks throughout. There was only 1 traffic light stop (ok, ideally there should be none, but I heard last year's run had traffic stops all over the place!) The beginning of the run along Shenton way was also really nice... somewhat surreal running through all the tall office buildings.
Paul did the Half Marathon and came in 879th/3324 (Net Time 2:03:52) Bravo baby!!!
I still prefer tris to "running only" races but I guess it is good practice. :)

Haha.... 23 places from winning... you are hilarious. I wish! Can't decide if to go for Great Eastern or not... are you going for it? Some more suffering... (yes that's how I feel when I am running!)
