What a run!

This was my run at ECP yesterday night...

650pm: Started running after Fort road, after all the blocked roads in preparation for Ironman on Sunday. Ran like a snake, trying to run through all the people. Everyone seemed to be there; the air only smelt of BBQ food.

800pm: U-turn at National Sailing Centre.

805pm: Gushing strong wind, dark red sky... The weather not looking good! Couldn't even quite run in one straight line due to the strong wind! Is Tsumani coming, I thought to myself... We started to double up our running pace while muttering to the sky to wait till we were back at the start point.

840pm: Stopped for a break and a can of Pocari at the toilet. Shit, the sky din wait for us -it was raining cats and dogs within 2 mins. But we were just about 3km from end point! &#*@! Toilet shelter area started to get really crowded with all the people trying to squeeze for a space to avoid the rain.

930pm: Too long a wait, legs giving way already and getting very impatient. Rain finally seemed to be smaller. Decided to run back in the rain. After all, we did not have a choice – the car was at Fort road carpark!

930pm onwards: Gosh, legs were stiff like sticks after stopping for about an hour. The road was wet and slippery, and the wind was icy cold! Couldn't see properly with my glasses – it was coated with rain drops! Yet, the only way out was through, so gotta keep running. Otherwise, it would only take forever to reach my destination.

940pm: Ran through the Big Splash carpark and ran on the road side towards Fort road carparo as we wanted to avoid crawling through the muddy water-filled grass patches due to partthereof pavement blocked for the Ironman event. All the cars that passed by us then must be thinking we are seow!

10pm: Cleaned up, bathed, make nice.

1030pm: Finally dinner time at KFC… Such sinful stuff at late night, but could we care more than just to satisfy the growling stomaches? By the way, the rain didn't stop even at 11pm. In fact, it was only bigger! :-O
