2007 Mizuno Mt Faber 10k

Mt Faber
105 metres in height, located on the southern part of Singapore. Well known for its panoramic views of the harbour, Sentosa and other Southern islands and cable car connection to Sentosa. It has been more than 20 years since I ran up these slopes with BC and HC while we were students. It took another old school friend, TC - who told me about this race, to bring me back to my earlier years.

Started off at 7:40 am. Initial easy run to Morse Road. Two inclines up Pender Rd, with a level stretch in between. Many runners walked up. Took some good looks at the view from up there. Reached summit in 31 min, and it was downhill all the way. total time: 65min (blame it on the traffic lights!)





My first 10k race after more than 18 years. Good tune up for July half in Phuket.

TC took part as well, but didn't manage to see him. Way too many people! About 2,000 participants. Not too happy being in the veteran category.

Honor Roll: Mizuno Wave Precision 8
