My first bay run (Army Half Marathon)

I have join the SAFRA Singapore Bay Run & Army Half Marathon event. The event was held on 24 Aug at the Padang. Finally i got to experience what a marathon event is like. I am running the 10KM (Competitive) run

I did not do any training for this run. To many, 10KM is a short distance and no training is required. But for me, i have never run more than 10KM in my life.

It was a nice experience running around Raffles/Marina area in the morning. The starting point is from the Esplanade Bridge. The run passes by CBD office building, running on expressway, passing the Flyers and also the floating stadium. Ending infront of the Supreme Court.

It tooks me 1hr and 15mins to finish my 10KM race. Not a bad timing for my first attempt. I am given a medal (shown in the picture) and unlimited cans of 100Plus and ice mountain for completing the run. A certificate with the official timing will be mailed to me in a later date.

Beside the half marathon and 10KM run, there are also 6 or 10KM fun run (non-competitive) . A certificate of participation (shown in the picture) and a goodie bag will be given to the participant of the fun run.
