this was a non-competitive run tat took us a 6.2km route through the Night Safari & Singapore Zoo yesterday. According to the organiser, it's also to commemorate the late Singapore Zoo icon, Ah Meng. (who died on the 8 Feb 08).
initially i tot it's going to be a unique n fun run coz the location itself was special! maybe i expected too much.. think it's a bit disappointed.. the route was so congested.. and they let the visitors walked around blocking the runners.. some participants especially lovers/couples were holding hands, strolling in the middle of the narrow road! (wan2 paktoh pls go somewhere else la, Y join the run???) ok, maybe i was plain jealous haha..(lynn said tat when i complained to her about all these and tat i felt a bit lonely in this run, not any other run) she said i was having PMS.. yea, n she left me alone and ran with her eileen goodfren..evryone was like running with their family, saw kids holding their parents hands running; one parent-child team was using a small towel to keep each other at the same pace.. so cute
clocked a bad 38:30 for this run. and my right leg hurts badly after tat. the distance was only 6.2km but i felt so difficult especially the last 1km. there were some upslope and downslopes but still not too bad.. mostly still flat routes.
overall i think i enjoyed the chilling ice milo the most after the run. queued for 2-3 cups coz it's FREE!
