Mizuno Wave Run 2005

Zzzz .. *Ringggggggggg* .. Gee.. time to wake up already. Wasn't it like 12am just 15mins ago? Rubbing my eyes and staring at my watch that says 0450hrs, I told myself, time to shower. IronmanDreamer will be on his way to pick me and then Renohtaram before heading towards Kovan. Once we reached Kovan, I guess a few of us are waiting at different locations. So, we didn't get to meet everyone before the race. I did happen to see several MR25 runners.
Time's up! We were ushered to the Starting Point and off we went... right at the start.. it was already chocking with people!! Some walked.. the path was narrow too. No problemo! Right at the start, I was pacing beside Taz since I have decided to go slow. My stamina can go faster.. but, my legs just wouldn't listen. See? Results of a workaholic. More time on work, less time on training. Well, we ran at a constant pace and when we saw the runners who were returning on the other side of the road, we were trying to spot SGRunners too. We saw TLR first followed by Skyver1810 with a 100 - 150m gap. DreamRunner wasn't too far behind too, followed by Commando and DO. Water points are already out of water when we did our U-Turn. This proves how slow we are. I picked up speed and left Taz behind. I finished around 57mins. Okay. I know I could have been faster. Carine won 10th position in the Women's Open. I bet _phishy would have too!!
