Company just had a run yesterday at Pandan Reservoir. Guys covering 6k & gals 3.5k. The terrain is flat on chipped granite, like Bedok Reservoir.
The weather began very well, with sunshine all day unlike the previous weeks. But the seemingly worse scenario took place, it started to pour with lightning at 4:15pm, just while everyone was about to board the bus transport.
MET services also gave a Class 1 Lightning grading. But the ambulance called & said that there was fine weather at the venue so we all left for the Start Point to make to decision to run based on the weather there. It held out for another hour when lightning closed in.
Anyway, I came in tops for an event which I wanted to slaughter the competition. Clocked 26:48 over 6k. Which works to 4:28min/km. The start was at a ferocious pace, covering almost 2.4k in less than a 10mins. I launched my attacked as planned at 2k and never looked back. In the end, I opened a gap of about 2 – 3mins to the finish.
No one understands the feeling of crossing the line 1st in such a small-scale event.
Coming in 1st individual male - a plastic trophy
Coming in the 1st team - $30 voucher
Coming in almost a kilometre ahead PRIZELESS
Till today some fat arse collegue still hoped for rain during the event so that some involuntary runners can save some energy. Imagine all the dissapointment & waste energy if the event was cancelled. Postponement was not an option.
Thank you Gel SpeedStar, 11days old, 2nd race & you’ve shone.
