Sounded beri "how lian" hor

But we are all humbled, it is chicken soup for the "how lian" soul. To be more precise Herbal Chicken soup :)

Due to the Vesak day holiday, East Coast Park was jam-pack. We arrived ECP carpark at 6.30pm to arrange the Water station, it took us another 1hr 30 mintues to reach Changi Park Car park 1.

The run finally started at 8.15pm, the night was extreme hot and humid, everyone feel the heat. After 10km it was like running in a sauna. I reached the u-turn point at Big Splash (20km) in 2:10 and promptly hit the wall! the next 2km to water point took nearly 20 minutes. After 4 bottle of drinks and a 30 minutes break, we continued but alas! the heart's may be willing but the legs and mind were not!!! It was game over at 25km for William, Jeniffer and Botak, the bright neon light of Seng Kee Herbal Chicken soup along Changi road beckon. After makan, took a cab back to finish point and discovered many others were there orledi, albeit by car or cabs :) Even our man of steel Calvin, gave up with just 2 km to go, he finally succumb to Daniel offer of a ride. Only Li Bin completed the course, thanks handsome, you salvage some pride for us - 1 nite dog survived!
