Yesterday, 30/6/13 was my first virgin trail run at MacRitchie Reservoir. I woke up slightly late as I stayed up the night before till 3am -.- I was a stupid idea because I had to wake up at 6am the next day but I woke up at 6.30. Got ready and went down to the bus stop only to see my bus leave. I was feeling so frustrated because I was late meeting my friend Narifus. The bus ride was predictably boring ZZZ. After what seem like eternity, I reached the place and met up with Narifus. Set our GPS watches and started our run. The air there was so fresh,never once in my life I've breathe in such great air, it was like pure oxygen, revitalising me and I felt so refreshed :) The journey was a tough one as it was my first attempt to run on trail, running on sand, mud, rocks and gravel was hard, lose your footing on your landing and you would have sprained your foot. Soon after it started to rain, making the trails muddy, and I we ran through it; splash splash splash all we could hear was the splashing of the water each step we took. At the 7.5Km mark we decided to rest at the shelter because the rain was too heavy and we decided to wait for a while for the rain to subside/ less heavy. 10 mins passed by and we continued on with our journey. Halfway through my stomach was feeling upset because I had milk in the morning ! I totally regretted it ! So we had no choice to walk to the end. Feeling sad, angry and apologetic to my friend. I guess I've low lactose intolerance intake :/
Went back home feeling awesome as I had done my first trail run at a very good timing ! 9.76KM in 1 Hour 2 Mins ! :D Then I had my breakfast at the market ! Having fishball noodles and a warm cup of soya milk on a rainy and cold day was superb ! :D
Got back, switch on my computer and uploaded my training result from my Polar RC3GPS watch, to my surprise, I found out that I had ran like the perimeter of Singapore but inside MacRitchie Reservoir ! HAHA ! COOL MAX !
