Woke up at 6am. Drank a cup of coffee, ate 1 energy bar biscuit and 2 bananas. Left home around 6:45am toward Nanyang Polytechnic.
The run from the starting line was very slow close to a walking pace from the sports complex until the crowd hits the road. Overall not a very smooth running event as there were several stoppages at traffic light junctions. At certain areas, only allowed to run on the pavement and not on the road.
Met Tim Teo and Yuan ZiJing before run. 
And saw Yun YowSeng during the run. After the race, meet another hot-runner (forgot his name).
And saw Yun YowSeng during the run. After the race, meet another hot-runner (forgot his name).Tim queued right in the first row at the Starting Line before the race started. Me and Zijing have to join the queue at the back and inched ourselves forward until about 50m from the starting line and cannot move forward anymore due to the large crowd ahead.
The weather was quite warm but overall, all of us enjoyed the run today. Drank at every water stations but did not stop. Took a big gulp of liquid and hold the liquid in my mouth and continue to run. While running, continue to breath through the nose and gradually swallow the liquid while running.

Have a nice bib number of 8268 and quite happy with my run time today, which averages about 10km/hr. But heart rate was in Zone 4 and Zone 5 most of the time which is not very good.
Though the race is 16km but my Garmin monitor watch recorded a total distance of about 17.2km.
