The New Balance Real Run 2009 marked my 3rd marathon this year after the 10.5km Adidas Sundown Marathon (Team) and 21km SAFRA Singapore Bay Run. The New Balance Real Run will be my first experience to cross-terrain running on 4km of uneven dirt road trail, 0.6km on beach sand and 5.4km on taxiway. There's something about having a 'dirty good time' that appeals to me.
The trail was organised around Changi, starting at the Changi Exhibition Centre, Changi Aviation Road. 2 routes - 10km (which Dennis & I opted for) and the 15km.
\I thought cross-terrain running would be a bigger challenge, but I managed to keep consistent pacing within the 170 bmp heart rate.
Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor Stats
Race results: Coming in at 483 out of 762. Putting me within 63.4% of the completed runners. Nett running time 1:22mins. Making this my best 10km run thus far! Dennis came in at 1774 out of 1971. Completion within 90% of the runners. Good effort considering it is his 1st 10km run... I think...
Take home goodies: Finisher Medal, an exclusive New Balance lightning dry T-shirt and sling bag
I've survived terrain running. Next run - Standard Charter Marathon 2009!
