Punggol - YCK
Woke up slightly late than usual today, 6am, as there's no training at club today. Shared with dear a bowl of coco cereal (pre-run brekkie) and out we go. It's only 630am and the sky was already bright.
Dear paced me at 7min/km, comfortable pace that I can talk in. Was feeling quite good except a bit of thirst after we exit from punggol. Took the 1st water break at Anchorvale CC 7-11, bottom up the 100 plus and ran on. The road towards Fernvale is very nice, no cars except for some bikers and a couple of runners running in opposite direction.
The sun was glaring at Fernvale as we head towards YCK road. Luckily the stretch along YCK road was quite cooling due to the shade from the trees. Can't imagine if there are no trees, doubt I can endure the heat all the way to YCK MRT. Stopped for a 2nd water break at YCK MRT Cheers. Felt a bit tired, Dear said that the stretch along AMK Ave 5 will be hot without shade, yes indeed. It was relatively flat and I felt that Dear din realise that he was increasing his pace and I had to put in more effort to catchup with him.
The last stretch along buangkok was much better. Managed to complete the 22km in 2:41 inclusive of 10 mins breaks at 2 pit stops. My sole were not arching that much after the run, it's still more comfy to wear Cumulus than Newton for the long run.
Glad to have dear as my running partner today, not so boring during the run :D Haha of cos it is an extremely easy run for him without any effort put in.
