Throughout the run, i was jogging with Alvin..sharon was pacing Dw right behind us..Jw was accompanying mum..The starting line is at Gardens by the bay, ran towards Kallang and U-turn back.With the temp of 35 degree, it makes it tougher to run under the scorching hot sun..it was an achievement for me to finish 16.8km run for 2 hrs ,12 mins and 41 sec..my first ever long distance run so far...haha..at least i finished the RACE!!! tired but fun~~
