This annual event from SAFRA is the highlight from on the running calendar. \u00a0 This is due to the organization and sometimes excellent route.<\/p>\n
When I reached the start point, they have just flagged off. \u00a0No big deal as the pack is 1 km long. \u00a0To my horror I realized that my phone was not with me. \u00a0The water bottle and energy gel distracted me. \u00a0I must have left it in the Golden Shoe car park toilets. \u00a0Did a fast 500m sprint back to the toilets to find it empty. \u00a0Luckily it was still in the boot of the car. \u00a0Another sprint back to the Esplanade bridge and to find the starting point is now on the near center of the bridge. \u00a0In the past it was close to the Fullerton Hotel. \u00a0So long story short, I have to run the bridge near twice just to start.<\/p>\n
By the time I hit 3km mark, I was already out of pace. \u00a0It took up to 6km to sort things out. \u00a0Unfortunately I was unable to clear the pack before the slow stretch at Costa Rhu condos at 8+ min\/km. \u00a0The route around the Sports Hub was really stupid. \u00a0We were doing zig zags to get to the Nichol Highway.<\/p>\n
The U turn at Crawford Street was a short one, but it merges the 10km runners. \u00a0They were still going really fast with some near collisions.\u00a0This year and probably for the first time, the route did not take into the F1 pits and Floating platform.<\/p>\n
Overall a late start gave bad results and I need to do more 10km training runs.<\/p>\n
