Spent an ultra long morning in the trails. Ran with Eddy, HeeShen and Heng and brought them along the route we did last week. Loved skipping around the rocks, so alert, so alive. :)
Alas, it started pouring heavily along Rifle Range road and we were thoroughly drenched. We experimented with a new route towards Bt Timah Nature Reserve. I had only hiked through that trail in the reverse direction many years ago, and was trying to recall the way. It was not a good section for runs though, too many steps and roots. Quite impossible to really run through many of the sections. The rain made it worse. It was more a hike than run.
Wet, squishy and soggy. We turned around back up Rifle Range road and crossed onto the field towards ZhengHua. Met some of our Safra runners - the early & fast group (all sub-4ers!) on their way back. HS and Heng waited while Eddy and I ran all the way to the park and out.
On our way back to MR, we decided to stroll across the TreeTop Walk. Enjoying the cool weather and view. Slight detour in the gameplan, pity I did not have a camera. Ran the last 5km back to MR-carpark with Eddy. It was his first time running in the trail and he had to endure the almost 5hr look-see-hike-run with us. Haha. Total run time 2:50h, not sure about distance, possibly 20plus.
Oh I so love the trails!
