whee. fifth run for the year, SAFRA Singapore Bay & ARMY Half Marathon 2011. yes, just exactly one week right after my KOTR. i think i must be mad, run and run non-stop.
anyway, i almost gonna missed this run. i took 124 there, never expected that the road was blocked, bus route changed due to the run. i wanted to alight at City Hall area, but it looped to the other direction. i thought it would stopped somewhere near Bugis area, so i can walk over. but then the bus bring me to Orchard area instead.
damn, alighted at Takashimaya there, wanted to take a cab there, but all taxi drivers doesn't bring me over there due to heavy road blockage. i have no choice but to walk from Orchard Central to Dhoby Ghaut, and take train over there.
there's so many people there, flooded with so many army boys. i had such a hard time looking for the baggage deposit area, only did i realise there's no booth for baggage. it's somewhere place on the ground, with barrier to block it. wth, search like. and then immediately went over to the starting point to look for Ginnette. we were actually late for 30 minutes, 10km runners has already flagged off. we ended up starting the run together with the 5km runners.
start point
STARTING SOON
well, we started together with the 5km runners, and was following them blindly. there's a point which the 10km runners have to u-turn extra distance inside. however, due to the fact that the rest of the runners around us were all 5km runners, we overlooked the sign saying "10km runners turned right"... and followed them.
it was only until we reached the first water point when we realised we missed out one u-turn. my handphone was like tracking at 2.8km, but the sign board for 10km runner was already at 4km. i was like what the hell!!!! make us totally no mood to run since the distance already all inaccurate ='(
