Singapore City Race 2013

So the day has come for my first ever marathon and running together with my very awesome colleagues! I am still rather amazed that we are so enthusiastic in going for this when we are not exactly addicted to running. Heh. But it's certainly good for a start!!

The starting point was at Millenia Walk! And we got to reach by 9am. Taking a group shot before being all sweaty and unglam after.

Oh I looveee those pink shoelaces!! :D

And the gun sounds!!

Okay this run is really more than a run really. Not only does it not have a fixed route, but we have to plan it ourselves, in whichever way we think is the shortest . We got to pass all 5 checkpoints and get stickers pinned on our bib each time.

So basically, our route goes like this...

Millenia Walk (Starting Point) > Ann Siang Hill > Chinatown > Robertson Quay > ION Orchard > Fort Canning Park > Millenia Walk (Ending Point)

We were really really really tired and sweaty and all things unglam by then! Initially, we were quite motivated to run but after a while we realised that we got to stop at traffic lights, look at the map now and then to determine our location, that it is somewhat difficult to continue the momentum and we decided to keep strolling then. HAHA. Epic fail. Runners strolling? HAHA.

We completed our run/wallk/stroll (whichever you call it) in like 3hrs? When it should have been completed like half the time shorter? But nonetheless we had lots of fun! Despite the endless flights of stairs at Ann Siang Hill and Fort Canning Park, I think we did pretty well in terms of spirit and not the timing. LOL.

We are already searching around at the next race already! And hopefully it will materialise! :D:D

Whoa. All my sweat. 

It says 10km here but no? My tracker says 13km. WIN. Huge achievement there nonetheless! At least we completed the whole race. Hehe!
