This year's Passion Run was an interesting one. It has adopted a new format. It was held on a Saturday afternoon at 4.30pm instead of the usual Sunday morning race. The race has also included a new distance category 25km. I signed up for the 50km duo category with a good friend each having to complete 25km. I liked the timing of the race as by the time we were finishing, it was already past 7pm and the weather was nice and cool.
This proved to be an enjoyable outing as personally I saw it as preparatory run for next week's Adidas Sundown Marathon. Therefore, there was no stress of setting personal best timings. I just wanted to clock the milage and to have a good run with my duo partner. Honestly, I did not even know how well we fared as we started off in the 3rd wave (late as usual) and I actually forgot to start my stop watch!
The route was a familiar one. Up and down east coast park... nothing unpredictable.
Another bonus for this run was a finisher T-Shirt for those who attempted the 25km race and it was of good quality (dri-fit). Somehow, I am still a sucker for finisher Ts :-)
Overall it was a positive experience made better by good company. It would have been boring otherwise...
The result is just out! Not bad actually for a leisurely run... haha.
Next Race: Adidas Sundown Marathon (Next Week!)
