My Inaugural 10km Singapore Passion Run – 22nd May 2010

It’s been close to 2 weeks since my 10km run.

And i must say, it’s a really good good run that i had.

This is my number: 4045

That means, before me, there’s already 4044 people who have registered for the run. Not bad for a People’s Association run. =) And oh, if i’m not wrong, there’s a lot more people who did this run.

One week before the run, i went to collect the race pack, which consisted of:



1) The luminous yellow shirt (Yes, it’s very the luminous, the photo didn’t do much justification though)
2) Race Bib. (There’s my name and my number, once again)

For the race, i specially went to invest in a running shorts. And i must say, it’s a very comfy pair.

So it was, i started the run at about 5.20pm, where the wave of the 10km started. Before us, there were a few waves of runners who are doing 50km duo (2 person, each cover 25km), and 25km.

It’s really at such events that u get very amazed that there are very fit aunties who are running 25km (and u will wonder, what am i doing with 10km???). Well, someday, i’ll get there too. =)

For one, i didn’t have a good start at the race, just when i’m just at 50m of my run, i felt cramps in my right leg. So i allowed all the rest of the runners to bypass me, while i jogged and waited for the cramp to ease before i speed up….. and finish it.

I managed to complete my race in approximately 1 hr 40 mins.

 

Got a weird looking sports bag from the run (actually i still dunno what i can do with it). And i’m still waiting for the PAssion card to come.

This is my second souvenir from the race:


Ahhhhhh…. Muddy Running shoes!!!! :(

The results of the race are out, and this is my result. Not exactly fantastic, but at least i managed to complete it within my goal. =)



My results says 1 hr 38 mins and 32 secs. At least it’s within my acceptable target of 1 hour 40 mins.


My average is about 9min 51 sec every 10 mins. 

Well, i must say, it’s a good run, and a good gauge for me to improve myself.

I’m gonna keep on training and improving myself for the run in December.


It is already open, in case if you didn’t know. As of today, the group category and 42km category is already closed!!! So if u are still wanting to sign up, do it asap before the places goes. It’ so hot, like Jay Chou’s tickets. =)
