Milk run - 8.4km - Hottest run ever!

















I am not saying the folks who go to milk run are hot.. but i am really describing that afternoon run at 3pm is blazing hot. Would have to think twice going for that sorta run. Thankfully it wasn't 10km like last year.































Sotong showing us his boot .. no i mean his back.


Anyway i met up with the sgrunners over at copthorne first to turn up was jeremy, teelee , tiwazz, charmaine, IMD, balasing . Later Sotong, FBB and bee came by , and Sotong kindly lent us his boot , i mean car boot to dump our bags at copthorne hotel.















Tiwazz, charmain, imd and teelee goin for the run after supporting OSIM Tri..

After which IMD proceed to look for the VRP gals. At the start line spotted tekko and wife , cheow and violet, Run3 and bf , weishan, TLR, Bug , ronnie etc . Before the flag off by MP vivian balakrishnan, the DJ intro Vivan Tan who is singapore fastest long distance female runner, first time i saw her in the flesh.

The route was well not really long .. but somehow it felt like the longest and toughest run i ever had due to the shearing afternoon sun. Since its a charity run timing was not used so i was just beating against my own stopwatch. Pickup the water at the waterpoint, it was warm man. Doesn't really help me by pouring over my head. It made me even warmer. After the second leg of the route i somewhat takes short walk in between as my leg started to feel strained. Thats where i notice 2 or so runners exhausted by the heat and were being stretched out.

At last i made it to the finishing line within 44 mins. Looking at the ranking i came in about 280 place. Well its for charity anyway so ranking is not that important.
