3:35 am this morning I woke up naturally...5 minutes before my alarm...amazing! Us 4 crazies met at 4:30 at the train station to participate in the Standard Chartered 10K. It was a fun adventure to be up so early and make our way down to the island for the race. The trains opened early for the race, and the only people riding the train were the runners. Here I am with Jamila, Emily, and Christine at 4:45 am!
Almost our entire race was run in the dark, since it started at 5:45 am. My favorite part was at the end overlooking the harbor filled with boats, outlined in high rises and the sky just beginning to lighten up.
Here we are anxiously awaiting the start...
...and we made it! There were 37,000 other runners running the 10Ks alone...of which there were 5 different heats. With the marathoners and half-marathoners, there were 67,000 people! So, it was really neat to be a part of such a big, city-wide event!
Here's a small section of the baggage holding area...crazy organization needed to keep this all moving smoothly...
And...perhaps the best part was heading to the Flying Pan for a nice American breakfast afterwards. :) It was some well-deserved yumminess!
