Dashers run log: Weekend updates - Wakeboarding

Saturday - Wakeboarding
Went to Raffles marina for a 2hr wakeboarding fun with my salsa classmates. Afew of them never ride before or did once or twice before. Me and wayne are the more experience riders but sort of rusty after 2-3yrs of inactivity. So each of us had a 10-15mins ride each before we let the beginners had a go at it. At the end of the day most of the beginners got to standup at least for ....a a minute.

On the boat...

A parting group shot

Sunday - Mizuno wave run

The run saw me waking up at 6am to give jon a wakeup call . Prep my bag with my gears and hydration pak (heard abt lack of water at hydration points from last year run) .

On the way down to meet the SGrunners gang, We bump into the VRP ladies and tekko plus wife at mcdonald . After which we headed down to the start point which is an ex-bus terminal. Looks like a major political rally is happening there where the gang is. The group size was huge i think 40-50 over pple. Kay was the camera man snapping away as he is not running. The most chop chop and professional among the bunch was RSM brokie. Seems like shes out to win haha

The race starts at 7.30am sharp and we see a mountains of runners jumpin across fence in bid to secure better running positions. Along the way chit chated with taz and he mentioned something like if i would finshed the race in 45mins.. and i said not likely.. more like 50mins i would be happy. After which i dash off which was quite a chore as the crowd was blocking most of the way. Next somewhere mid point i bump into charmain she has discovered the joy of listening to inspirational music on music player. We exchange good will message and i proceed on. Next i bump into jamesoh, he was very focus so i leave him in his trance like state.

After bend i bumped into brokie and boy she was fast really out to win..(maybe win the gals in our group) . Somehow at this point my sore from yesterdays wakeboard session kicks in. And i seems to slow down considerably and momentum was further disrupted by trafficpolice stopping the runners for vehicles.

Turning point to the end point i notice a fast running SYT from MGS was going really strong she has been leading ahead of me since the end of old tampines rd. That triggers me to end strong or at least over take her. In the end .. i kinda did... thou i am not sure of that...

Final score
50mins.. excluding waiting time...
