NUS Hill Run on 17 Jan`07 (Wed)

This Run is attracting hill addicts -- rumours are spreading abt the shiok rolling hills of NUS and its vicinity. We had 9 runners (juz one short from last week) -- fennel, George, ronnie, littletiger, hohorunner, LM, IMD, tktan and me.

tktan took the lead and spring forward @ <>IMD asked whether he was training to break 2hr for 30km :) For a change, I enjoyed being sweeper and run @ smell-flower pace with first timers littletiger, hohorunner and IMD. At the killer slope, could hear hohorunner exclaiming that the slope was so steeeeep! Clap clap to all who make it to the top! Took a water break @ Science Hub and continued on from SPI to SPII. fennel warned the first timers abt the upcoming PGP slopes. After passing I2R, littletiger and hohorunner thot the end was near(KRGH was so near) -- but was shocked to see me turn to PGP. hohorunner did very well here as he was juz a few steps behind me. After the daunting PGP slopes, we proceed to run inside NUS. Stopped at the SRC track to wait for littletiger n hohorunner while fennel and IMD ran ahead. Encouraged littletiger n hohorunner that only left with 2 more small hills (actually more hills to come :P). And we dashed up the final slope and completed the run in good style :) Oops, lost LM @ SRC and he came back via Central Library -- clap clap to him for completing his first 10km run.

Thanks to tktan -- we gulped down the cold isotonic drinks gratefully. We proceed to The Cheese Prata for dinner after a wuick shower. George had a special treat for us -- homemade soup(consisted of garlic, onion, carrot, potato, chicken, mushroom, rice etc.). Yummy! We presented the NUS Hill Run finisher's cert to George and hohorunner -- littletiger n IMD. who didn't join us for dinner, gotta claim theirs from us @ next run.

P.S. Didn't start my stop watch, so no time taken.
