This Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon marked the last run of MooMoo in Year 2011 and it's also MooMoo's 2nd Half Marathon. MooMoo woke up at 430am this morning.
THANK GOD for the beautiful weather this morning... due to the non-stop rain last evening for the whole night, the weather was cooling this morning and Mr. Sun actually woke up late to say hello to everyone. It really makes a big difference to MooMoo.
Well, MooMoo got very upset during the run coz it was so congested that my friend said that it was like a 'Walkathon' at the 1st 3km of the route as he took 40 mins to complete the 3km. Hahaha. They didn't control the crowd very well. It really turns off MooMoo keep having to stop all the time and there are a couple of times totally stop and can't really move coz massive human jam at Sentosa.
MooMoo almost fainted coz there's no drinks station all the way till after 4km. Imagine running slopes after slopes and there's no hydration point. MooMoo saw some people running to the toilet area to drink water. Overall the route is OK... just that there's never-ending slopes that tortured MooMoo's knees badly. MooMoo's knees especially her right knee is screaming for help all the way.
All the complaints stop when MooMoo reached Universal Studio, meeting all the mascot characters. It really send smiles to MooMoo face when she is happily taking pictures with them. MooMoo even forgot about her tired legs and hurting knees. It's really a good idea to be at Universal Studio after running about 10km, which is the 1st part of the race.
MooMoo did enjoy the beautiful scenery along the route and the funny people she met along the run.
One of MooMoo's friend actually pledge to run for a reason this year... she did some fund-raising for the cats that she loved so much. She even appear with cats ears running her 21km. Lovely...
Here's the medal that MooMoo got... her friend even joked that you will need a 'lau hwa' spectacles for old people (equivalent to long-sighted) in order to see the distance that you complete on the medal. Can you see the distance on the medal?!? Haha..
Towards the last 1km of the run, suddenly MooMoo hear Barney singing 'If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!! *clap *clap".... OMG!! So damn funny... Then, she realize that they are starting the 750m Kids Dash but it was pretty congested that they no longer dash but walk and walk. The kids were all so cute running, jogging and walking side by side with their parents. They were all given a mini version of the medals above.
Overall, MooMoo did enjoy herself running today despite all the things that she dislike. i.e. running vest, crowd control, drinks station, medal... Thanks to Piggy coming all the way to support despite her healing foot. * Muahhhhh!!! Even, Mrs. Chicky is doing 10km this round. Hahaha. Too bad, Mr. Chicky escaped. It's fun with friends. Anyway, hope SCMS will improve next year. ^=^
* MooMoo really so like this quote she saw during the run.... it's really sooo TRUE!!!
"Move with your Body, Run with your Mind."
--- Sad to hear about the news of the 21 year old guy passing away after completing his 21km this morning. May he 'REST IN PEACE' and God Bless him.
