It's finally here, the day we have been training for since September. It was the girls' first running event for 10km and the guys' first full 42.195km marathon.

Stella joined the guys for the 42.195km run, as an unregistered participant, completed the race and even managed to get a finisher T Shirt!

Looking fresh at 0500hr. .

It was indeed a painful experience. The pace was good for the first 30km. Fadly and Hui Liang lost Jef and Stella along the way, somewhere at the 15km mark at East Coast Park.

Pain started to set in after 30km mark, just as we were about to complete the East Coast Park route. We just have to overcome it and dragged our feet to the finishing line. But thanks to the endless flow of Ice Mountain water, 100 plus, bananas, oranges, GU Energy Gel and Deep Heat Rub, we persisted and made it through!

Kudos to Jenn and Lynn too, for completing their first ever 10km run when the guys were still running the race.

Hui Liang and Fadly came in together at the finishing line this time. Hui Liang's goal this time was to get himself photographed as many shots possible (read: cam whore), hence the same timing as he didn't make a dash to the finishing line. Also along the running route, he tried to position himself nearer to the cameras when he saw the event photographers snapping some shots. Check out marathon-photos.com to see whether he really did fulfil his goal.
