My 1st City Run (non-event)

Went to run around City Area after work with colleagues. Was pacing after KwangYeong. Thought total distance covered was around 6km and thought time taken to be around 40 minutes.

Surprised to find that my Garmin monitoring watch showed a total distance of 7.8km. Even with an error of 10%, the distance covered is still at least about 7km. Time taken was 53:12 minutes i.e. an average speed of 8.8km/hr (including traffic stops, etc).

Was hot, plenty of car fumes and a lot of car traffic. Prefer East Coast and UPR.

KwangYeong was running as quite a fast pace and it was quite challenging to pace after him. First 1.5km was quite fast. After the first 3km, my heart-rate crosses 170bpm which is not very good. Coupled with the new running environment, overall quite a tough run today. But was glad to try out this new city route.
