Brooks Run Happy 2013

Its had been a great long 8 months since my last race. Sok Gin and I were both psycho-ed by Julia to join this race. Reason being, all of us never take part in any night race before. And she wanna give us a new experience?! Haha, how nice of her. Anyway, back on track, we headed to Julia's place and dropped our bags (as she stays nearby) before the race. We then decided to head over to Marina Barrage by taking a train to bayfront. Who knows?! We actually spent the first 2 km walking to find the location! Silly us. But thank goodness, the race started off pretty late; at 8pm. We actually thought the flagoff was 730. A blessing in disguise for us.

I was pretty surprised by the crowds. That perhaps we only met a few of the runners when we got off the train while searching for the venue.

Finally, we could see the starting point. The tent by the side was actually DJ in action. Yea, that was whats makes the race differ from other races, we could spend our last km partying

And thats how the beginning of the race looks like. Pitch dark, narrow route.

The Glow Zone area, guess thats where the given light sticks come in use

Gorgeous Landscape; Can't believe Singapore could be that pretty

The CBD area; kind of makes me wonder will I be stuck in there next year?

Mandatory shot for which Sok Gin and I would take, a click before the end of the race

 That's the route of our race, we didn't run on roads unlike the previous races. So its just along the walkways, parks etc

And thats the end of our 9 clicks race. Something great about the organizers are that they actually give free bottles of Erdinger. That's the shortest race I had completed but its the worst too! Reason being, I had to carry a pack of tissue with me as I was running! My flu is still as bad! Guess I'm force to head to see a doctor tomorrow. Panadol doesn't seem to be working.
