Just completed the 1st series of the Pearl Izumi Run run this morning at Bedok Reservoir Park. The total distance covered is about 12km. There are altogether 3 series of this Pearl Izumi Run. The 1st is this 12km run, the 2nd is a 21km run to prepare us for the SAFRA Bay Run aka Army Half Marathon and the final series is a 30km run to prepare for the year end Singapore Mararthon. I didn't sign up for this event as I will be entering NS soon so won't have the time to train up for this event with the SAFRA running club runners.
Today's run was meant to be a leisure run for me as I did not sign up for it. However 1 of the runners did not want to run for some reason, I took over his bib number!! Man oh man, got to do timing. The race started off at about 0730 hours with the women's category starting off first, after which followed by the men's category 10 mins later. I knew I started off too fast at the beginning because I wanted to follow my pacer, who started off really fast, and because my "engine" in the morning has not started plus I began to feel a tightness in my muscles, so I decided to slow down my pace to a comfortable speed. Managed to caught up with my pacer towards the end of the race and we finished at the finishing line together in the end! Haha. Cool. The timing on my watch reads 01hr:01min:33secs! Not too bad. Now waiting for the realease of the official timing.
My next target will be 50-55mins for a 12km or 45mins for a 10km!! Haha..
