Sunday - Botanical garden LSD run 20km

Woke up in the wee morning at 6am. Started my drive down to botanical garden wasn't sure if i was goin the right direction but fortunately i manage to reach the gathering area at evans road NIE campus without getting lost.

Alvo , meteor and Teelee was the first group i met at the carpark. We headed down to wait for the rest at the basketball court. Soon Reno, tiwazz, charlotte, Cfred, TKtan, Daisaki, roonz, ronnie, cookie, run3, doraemon_red , babumouse, starts to trickling in. Started the run at about 7.20am. Afew regular BG runners are not here seems like theres a cycling training for some and NUS triathlon for other.

The route was similar to the previous run except for the extension into rivervalley road and clark quay. Midway at orchard road Alec drop in for the run with us. Somewhere along rivervalley some of us split up to run up towards kimseng bridge, while the other group run down to cavenagh bridge. Before we both rendevous at the 7-11 at riverside front. Charlotte on the other hand went over to the liang court 7-11 waiting for us there. So i guess somehow there was some sort of miscommunication .

We managed to return back in about 2hrs 30mins. Bala was waiting for us at the End point , he actually ran down from clementi doing his own ninja run. After everyone has returned we headed down to the shelter for a cool refreshing isotonic drink provided by Teelee (thanks!) before heading down for a shower and food at food haven. There i had my usual yong tau hu. After some chitchat we headed back home...
