The team before the race...
Team Line-up: Myself, Shumin, Gerald Tan and Victor. Despite many changes, thank God that we managed to finish the race in tenth placing(I think). From James we changed to Kevin then to Victor.. Wow.. my first time facing so many last minute changes in the team before a race.
How the 30km race panned out:
- Stage one: Run from Pasir Ris MRT to Pasir Ris park for kayaking that loops past a few kelongs.
- Kayaking was bad as we didnt know vic was rather rusty and by pairing with shumin, it was disastrous. Midway i swopped with vic to balance up the formation.
- After kayaking was topo to Lorong Halus. We bashed through some vegetation and skirted along sungei serangoon to find Halus. Got abit lost and went through a detour before reaching Halus.
- Shocking thing at halus is that we were there for topo and not biking!
- Topo was fast at halus.. Shaved off at least 15-20 mins.. Caught up with a few teams.
- Second Stage: After Halus went to bedok reservoir to do some rope elements
- Bedok reservoir following park connectors went down all the way to ITE simei for abseiling.
- After abseil, head down to Tampines Ave 9 for bike trail leg.. Biking was rather easy.. but shumin fell as she wasnt very adept with the 2-wheels..
- Followed PCN again and ended at pasir ris park.
- Last stage run from the park and end at the MRT.
The Race certificate
Although we didnt win anything.. im thankful for completion. I mean we had a team that was assmbled and dis-assembled so many times.. and technically we had much to work on.. So to end in our position i feel we have done very well already. 20+ km of runnning.. shiong ah.. taken a toll on me.. Dont know how to conduct my PE this week..
Praise God for keeping us SAFE! Rest well guys!
