after close to one month, my 9th and last run for the year 2011, Standard Chartered Marathon 2011. and looks like Standchart is one of the major run of the year, even MRT extended their service till 24 hours.
although the 24 hours train doesn't benefit me since i'm only running for 10km, my flag off time is at 7.30am. but still, i have to crawl up and get ready at 5am, meeting Moo at City Hall together.
MRT with Ginnette
with Moo at Raffles City
anyway, it was very crowded over at the baggage deposit area, we queued from 7.15am to 7.45am just to deposit our bags. and by right, our flag off time is at 7.30am. and there's a serious human jam over at the esplanade bridge towards the starting pen. we only managed to reach the starting pen at around 8am, a total of 30 minutes delay.
and seriously, it was so muddy over at the baggage deposits area due to the rain the night before, haven't even start my shoes already buang. so dirty!
gonna start soon!!! haha
oh well, looks like the half marathon runners have a much more interesting route, they got to run inside USS. haha like so awesome. and 10km is still the usual Marina area. haha.
and... one hour plus later, finally i'm back. waited for Ginnette and then we proceeded out to retrieve our bags, was kinda lost where did we deposit our bags earlier on. haha.
we met up with Ginnette's brother, Damien, who had just completed his 21km run. woohoo, well done! i remembered bumping into him at my 7 - 8km junction.
me, Damien and Ginnette
haha. Batman, Robin and Spiderman
like so cool, they dressed up like this to run sia. i remembered my friend told me there's even power rangers too. but i did not seen it. so interesting, they must be perspiring inside like mad, i supposed.
and after the run, i walked from City Hall to Bugis to meet my mum. yes, i used walking. i don't know why but i really walked all the way there. so tired ahhhh.
so muddy that i have to scrubbbbbb it like mad
