Weekly Tue Run at SAFRA (5 Apr 2005)

Today was yet another rainy day, with the skies still pouring till 6pm. I made my way to SAFRA Mount Faber at Telok Blangah as usual, suspecting that the rain will stop by 7pm.

I put on my new Nike gear to try out the size, and it fit me to the tee. We covered 1 loop around the Canterbury estate, and then proceeded to Labrador Park. By midway through Canterbury, I was the second runner in front, as I have picked up speed along the way. I shared some good conversations with Teen and also Chua, who mentioned he came in fourth at the Trenganu 100km run. And there he was running again, after a day of rest only.

I entered Labrador Park after about 40min of run. I took the steep slope today as I was feeling OK. Thereafter I lapped the Park of 800m twice, before meeting up with the main group of runners. On the exit of the Park, I ran ahead to meet up with Akira, and we ran together mostly towards the Clubhouse. The total distance is estimated to be 14km to 15km, based on the time and pace I took. The weather was very good, though I was still careful with the wet and slippery ground.
