Ok! This year medal sibeh nice! ? Similar to the one I gotten in Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon this year but my tiny runner wants a separation with the medal and for months I haven’t find a hook to hook them back together yet ? Hopefully it doesn’t happens the same for this GE medal ?

GEWR is experienced and reputable plus it’s the don’t know how many years that they are organising this run, cock ups dont happen like YOLO run, that’s why I’m back running my third GE after running my first ever half marathon running GEWR in 2015. Now I’m already looking forward to the next GEWR! Flag off is punctual, bag deposits and collections is swift, there are with more than enough space to run and hydration points are ready, race pack when I collect no queue, race tee nice, finisher tee nice, medal nice ?? After run race village activities and booths. Enjoyed the Magnolia milk and the Little Pony Photo booth especially ?

Though the queue to collect the breakfast pack after the run was not that long when I finish the run, but I went around take some photos and look again, queue sibeh long already so I don’t want queue, that’s how much I hate queues. See lah see lah, take pictures some more ? I don’t even know got breakfast pack in the first place so it’s like a bonus thing. Never read race guide ? I was also wondering 2hr10mins pacers should overtake me already only when around 15km, the 2hr15mins pacers overtake me then I know the pacers time are 15mins apart ?

I had no aim for the run actually as I thought I should treat this as a LSD for Osaka Marathon which is in 2 week’s time and my friend said we will run 7 mins pace wthen 1 day before race day she said she aim to run 2hours(I think my friends and I always says want to run together but once flag off will all disappear in a short while) ? They too competitive and fast liao, so I run my own, didn’t really do much of long distance running lately and lack of determination so I walk quite a lot at the last few kms ? I’ll run another 10km tonight and hopefully that’s enough for Osaka Marathon, just hope I can reach before cut off time and anything better than that is bonus!
