run- North (yishun) - east (eastcoast park) 30.3km

















"Maddness!" thats the response i get from family and friends when i tell them i am goin for a 30km midnight run with a bunch of SGrunners. But i guess everything has a first time.
Met up with SV, James, ws, kops, sabrina, yulan, FBB, cokkie at mcdonalds northpoint. The run started at 12:20am at northpoint. All of us spoting fuel belt or hydro backpacks, was quite a scene. Some where around ang mo kio sabrina having a headache decided to make her way home.

Along the way , somehow folks on the street will kinda cheer u on. At novena , some guys in a chiongster car screamed at us "jia you!" was wondering if they are implying to us or they are looking for a petrol station. haha. Somehow the only shops that are open after midnight are 7-11 or petrol station minimarts, And that gives us time to go to the toilet or simply replenish drinks and "tok cork" for a bit.

2:30am reached orchard our midpoint break , kelly was there busy snapping away pictures of us arriving. Almost wanted to shout out "are we the first team?" ala amazing race. Well as expected the west runners takes a longer time to run down from the boonlay side.



























Finally the west team arrive at about 3am and we are off to bedok jetty. I tagged along with the faster group which consist of kops, cheow, shobido, andy, ws, cokkie and burnz .
Reached bedok jetty at about 4.45am. there we see cheows wifey with her dog (jack russell rain) greeting us.

Well supposed to be a sunrise event but unfortunately the clouds obscure it but somehow kelly managed to catch a glimspe of it.


















In the end we all washedup and headed back to mcdonald for the much needed carbo loading.

Now i am nursing a fever , maybe brought in by the onset of the latenight run.. poor me
