Nike Human Race 31.08.08
Hello everyone!
I just ran the Nike Human Race earlier this afternoon! Completed the 10km in 64min, it's slightly slower than what I normally do but it's expected because there was such a great turnout there today! Couple of congestion along the route due to the narrow pathways and thousands of runners all trying to go thru them! Furthermore the route consists of numerous up and down slopes which made the run slightly more challenging. It was really fun to run through concerts along the way and through Boat Quay & Clarke Quay! I really wonder what was going on in the diners minds as this whole flood of red sweaty shirts bypassed them! A couple of the tourists were amused and joined in the fun by cheering us on! Really cute!
The Concert Festival after the race was a great way to wind up the whole event as the music boosted up the whole atmosphere. It's really a race I've never been in before and I must say I had a great time!
This wonderful guy - Aik Leong (I hope I spelt his name correctly!) was my pacer and he really took very good care of me during the run! Thank you!!!! He made sure I was keeping a good pace, ensured my well-being and kept me updated on my timing and distance! I really appreciated what he did for me! So happy and lucky to have such a great guy to pace me! Can't ask for a better one! :)
Bumped into Maria! (aka Evelyn Ng) We did the Life Story Ang Peng Siong ep together, so nice to meet up with her again! In between us is her friend running with her, Kimarie.
Giving Dan the Man our Lurve, Sweat & Blood!
With Ee-Lyn & Andrea.
After completing the race, everyone was given this finisher bracelet and it has "Singapore" engraved onto it! How special!

Hi Jessica
Congrats on completing the race.....I am still trying to get back to a certain level of fitness.. Hehe!
Hey Jess, I had no idea that you went for the Human Race too... I reached the Padang a bit later specifically to wait for Joanne, but no sign of her at all. Oh, and what a record timing! :-)
You did really well so congrats :) Glad you had fun and yup, Aik Leong's a real sweetheart :)
Yea I was! I really wanted to run it as I thought it'll be quite fun! heh... what time did U reach there? we were at the partner's lounge chilling out! I was happy with my time but wanted a better time!
Thanks for the photos dear! I'm happy with my timing, next up Bull Charge run! see if I can do my old timing of 17min for 3.2km! hehe...
Hey there Jess,
Congraz on completing the Human Race, was one of the "honor 1 million" for the run too... hehez... cya at the future runs!!!
Okay. You are absolutely stressing me out with your crazy timing. 17 min for 3.2km is damn fast.
Okie! Seeya in future runs! It's getting really addictive!
Huh no lah.... that was last time... just hope to gain back that fitness! dunno whether can or not!
thanks andrea:)
