At the 25km mark at east coast. Got there a bit too late- had intended to reach by 0830 but wound up reaching at 0850. Was zzzzzzzzzz because I knew I had missed claud already by that point of time. Waited for about 30 min, but had my two chao turtle odac guy friends for company who had happily pangsehed me and cycled to east coast instead of walking around with me, but that's irrelevant to this blog so err moving along hahaha. Saw no familiar climbing face here, but only my odac friends. 
Cher mummy! Caught her at city hall mrt station actually- she was on the 'down' escalator and I was on the 'up' escalator- yelled for her and she responded with a huh hi huh? face. She called me 1 min later to say that I had caught her stoning hahahaha! She was there to accompany and support a friend (or is it friends?) who was/were running 10km. See that's us with my Allez placard. This pic shows us at the finishinglineareatentagesandmuddy field. Was feeling a bit zzzz to be alone so I hunted her down just to look at a familiar friendly face! This is our WE WERE HERE picture hahaha!
Sidenote: I joined my church friends shortly after cher and I parted. So I wasn't alone. :)
Alright first up of the climber runners we have claudia and marian! They came in below 5 hours. Had to holler CLAUDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! to get her attention. So sweet huh this pic. :) BTW Cher had waited from the 3+ hour mark to the 4+ hour mark but didn't catch them so she was like "i didn't see claudia!" with a slightly panicky tone but yeshhhhhhhhh they finished in below 5 hours (correct me if I am wrong k claud)! They were running too fast for the first picture hahaha.
And she had to yell in my face in an attempt to scare me outside Spinelli's hours after the race- she had hushed my friends silently while I was engrossed with SMSing (inability to multitask even with a simple activity called walking tsk). Thanks claud I love you too but you failed to scare me because you have done it to me so many times! <3
Team NUS- the runners were waving flags at the last stretch. Didn't know whether to laugh or cheer. But yes I chose to cheer. I was cheering randomly throughout my wait in order to break the monotony. Kinda like bouldering comps and climbing carnivals, one cheers for random people.
I was still in awe at this point of time- I saw all sorts all people finishing the race. I really mean all sorts. You got the balloon carriers, the parents, the old men, the really white-haired old men, the old women, the really white-haired old women, the limping people, the people with scrunched-up faces of pain, the school kids, the pram pushers, the teenagers, the couples, the really tall people (I saw this human giraffe), the really fat people (I saw this human rhino), the nerds, the geeks, the everyone really. Just didn't catch the kenyans. I heard from my friend that they were freaking woaaaaaaaaah (for the lack of a better descriptive). They run in a black pack and they run damn fast- when my friend entered east coast, the pack had left east coast and the east coast stretch is a couple of freaking kilometres yo. I am still in awe (who wouldn't be! 2+ hours for 42.195km thats inanely insane!)
They had the Kids' Dash events as well for 3 different age groups. Ultimate cuteness seriously to see little tots run like speedy gonzales! SO CUTE.
JUDITH! Runner siaaaaaaaaaaa.
Human spirit at play- a couple and their baby running together. Sweetness. And damn strong la.
Balloon Lady ran full marathon. Yes the white tag confirms it. AMAZING LA. Just. Awestruck.
Look more kids in the kids dash!
Yixiang and Edwin! By this time I was frying in the sun (thank god it wasn't that sunny...but yet there's UV rays la) and stoning and zoning out already. Yixiang had to yell DORISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to get my attention.
Oh, did I mention that the pictures posted here are in CHRNOLOGICAL order? :D Hehehe. Do the inference hor.
This guy's carrying a buncha balloons which say WILL YOU MARRY ME? I don't know what's the verdict cos I was rooted to my spot looking for familiar faces, but erm ladies will you agree to marry such a guy? Open for discussion. As for me... I don't know la too young to think about marriage hahaha. Forever young I wanna be forever young.
LOOK SUPER SMALL SUPER CUTE! -melts- It's kinda wow to see parents running with their kids in the kids dash. Showcases the positive side of the human spirit.
So sweet they came to look for me after their run hahahaha. :) EDWIN PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR KNEE.
