A "Fool" Print

We were blessed by the overnight rain yesterday. The weather was feeling cool in the morning. Thinking of enough time, I took an MRT to the start point for the half marathon. Gosh!! How wrong am I. It was a pretty long wait for the train. To add to my dismay, I needed to change the train at Outram Park station in order to reach Harbour Front Station, in which I was 15mins late for my run eventually.

The route was pretty hilly at Sentosa. Furthermore, the path was narrow and with so many people participated in the race, I had to constantly slow down or avoided the runner in front and the sides. At the Universal Studios, I saw a couple of runners slowed down to take a picture with the cartoon characters. Some of the USS staffs also came to cheer for the runners. 

Once out of Sentosa, we were turned into the expressway and straight to our end point at Padang. It was nice to see the highway was closed for the run which I certainly welcome the ample space after being cramped for the last 10km. Perhaps due to my lack of training and the numerous slopes unexpected, I have difficulties in running at my usual pace. In the last 1km, I experience a "cramping" feeling in my calves and tight. In the end, I took 2hrs and 30mins to complete. One of the slowest half-marathon timing I ever completed. As for the completed experience, I couldn't say the run is any better than any of the previous years. Unfortunately, I still found that there is a lot of improvements need to be done as compared to overseas race.
