Great run in Sentosa. I was there with meteor at 7:15am. Upon reaching the visitor carpark, all parking lots were taken. Therefore I just park anywhere. Minutes later TLR, Penguin, FD and Taz appear. Was pleased to see them there. We then proceeded to the start point venue. By then the crowd got bigger. More sgrunners started to appear from nowhere. This time I got to know more sgrunner members. Was surprised to meet one of my poly life-saving instructor who coached me 12 years back. He is also one of the sgrunners too. This year I felt that the Real Run was much tougher than the last one. Maybe the crowd was getting bigger, harder to overtake people now. The morning sun was quite hot for me too. But all I know was to try my best to run. I also felt that my first 5k was a little bit fast. Therefore more tiring towards the sand part. Eventually toward the last 2 to 3k I think I slow down bit giving opportunity for people to overtake me. And because of the hot morning sun I felt more thirsty than ever. I was surprised to see a lady overtake me during the last 1k mark. I thought was carine but later I found out it wasn't her. This lady must be one of the top 10 I guess. Overall I didn't quite enjoy this run but I think did was meeting up with all the sgrunner members. And also running together with meteor is a dream that come through. And for this I really thank god for it.
