What a day, rush, rush after settled setting up the launching of a project sales and ‘sneaked away’ when it was about 5pm! Reached home in lightning speed and luckily me Mrs did get the things ready to be loaded into car! After a shocking sight of getting stuck in Federal Highway, I thought, and luckily enough it was just some stupid slow bugger on the fast lane!
Finally reached the run site just about 10mins past 6 with Micheal and Ben starting their run and also Kong and Angel arrived after getting ‘lost’ driving to the run site. Me Mrs was quick to strap on her running ‘gears’ and we set off at 6:20pm.
The trail started with a down hill and she was quick to get till the river and we heard the checking calls on the opposite hill. Crossing the same river a few times while following it we managed to not get our shoes wet. We met MiowMiow as she started her reverse gear and caught up with Bandit while climbing the second hill.
As soon as we were at the top, the trail started to go downhill again and this time a long slippery one. Another small climb waited for us and we met some first time guests on trail, one was totally exhausted and decided to turn back. Further up was Gary with another guest resting while we bashed on.
We came out to some waist length growth and spiky short growths were cutting the ankles and onto to tarmac for the short chase to meet some others at the back pack like 1st time guest Chow-Chow and G2. Just as we started another long climb, Micheal was gasping for air just after a few vertical meters and luckily did not see KFC pee while she was walking out from the bushes with Rambo ‘guarding’ the ‘entrance’.
A few salutations, “Hi! Darling!” and I sped off going up hill while me Mrs was still struggling to get up at the bottom. Almost reaching the top was someone who has been missing for a long time, Shopping Queen. She seemed to have lost some stamina and was complaining of the climb. Passing her and in front was Joachim, surely and steady he climbed the gradual uphill. As soon as he knew I was at the back he ‘signaled to let me through’, how gentleman-ly he is.
It was a long climb too and a check was confusing the runners and I heard them checking. Just after the check was broken, I reached the top while Dipstick came down with the checking paper for me to connect. Khoo and Moon were just struggling uphill with Khoo encouraging her. Running on the downhill ridge was nice and we reached the ‘common highways’ of Gasing Hills.
Running up and down the well trodden paths was no easy and it did generate a lot of sweat. Finally when we knew it was about to exit to the playground, I met HamTan, Alex, Simon and Silent Dragon. We were treated to a last medium uphill climb instead of running on the tarmac by the playground. Finally an exit onto the tarmac just before the run site for the final short sprint home.
Saddam was the first one to come out at 7:10pm with Dipstick and PussyLick challenging for the 2nd spot. While BumbleBee was seen running up and down the small stretch a few laps to stir some teasing the bayees. Me Mrs was just about 10mins away after I reached the run site at 7:15pm. With some amazed looks and encouragements, she was walking with head held low to be humble while blushing. Cock Pain and U-I were late and still went in at 7pm eventhough Monster discouraged them. They came out around 9pm!
