Recce Run in Sentosa
As to introduce new routes during our weekly evening runs, Ong had planned to recce the route in Sentosa so we can bring our club members there tomorrow.. we started at abt 7.15pm...
We slow jogged from Ong's place to the Gateway of Sentosa.. we flashed our Islander pass and ran in at the side of the 2 lanes bridge.. halfway up the bridge, Ong's polar watch beeped.. 2km.. we ran past the departure bus stop and all the way up the slope to a round about... turned left and ran along the down slope.... we were running a pace of 6min/km... quite a comfortable pace for me.. as i am able to talk as I run.. it's had been sometime since we came into Sentosa at nite.. still remember the 1st few dating yrs.. Sentosa is a frequent place we always came to in the evenings.. but of cos not run in.. this is the 1st time we actually ran into Sentosa at NITE.. haha Ong reminded me abt the old days.. alot of memories flashed back... haha i told him we shld start walking hand in hand instead of running now... of cos the answer is "NO NO".. haiz....
We turned right at the 1st junction and soon reached a upslope.. we ran up and came to the Botanical Spa.. and ran all the way towards Palawan Beach.. this is the same route we ran during the NB Trial run... instead of heading towards Tanjiong Beach, we turned right and ran along the pavement.. the area was quite well lit then i thought.. i regretted that I din came into Sentosa during my bdae... Ong planned to bring me there.. but I tot it was unsafe as Sentosa will be dimly lit and transport will also be a problem....
Soon we reached Siloso beach and can see Rasa Sentosa at the other end... we maintained quite a easy consistent pace and I din feel thristy nor any difficulty in my breathing.. we ran up to the main road.. Ong wanted to run into the trail as we did at the NB run.. but i suggested against it as it looked very very dark.. no lights at all... better to run along the road... there were alot of curves as we ran along the main road.. and I increased my pace without much panting.. soon we reached the musical fountain and a show just ended... we zig-zagged through a big group of tourists and ran towards the departure bus stop... we stopped for a bottle of 100 plus before heading back to Ong's place.
Distance covered: 10.5km __ Timing : 1:09:51
