Pacer was there along the race and since we were heading towards the timing of 6hr. "Denise Chow", sporty lady, Pacer for 6hr, we were looking out for her and making sure that we are on track.
Bedok North Route was a killing part ! Up and down the slope. Cramps start to acting up from there. Hate the feeling of having cramps on thigh and calf but still... got to endure it !
