simulated RunNUS 2009

well.. i missed "RunNUS" due to the bad weather.. so what better to do than to go run it by myself..

RunNUS 2009 simulated run route map

actually i added more than 1 km to to the original route by running a larger loop around FoE and Kent Ridge Bus Terminal.. but according to my mapping it still ended up short of 12 km.. so there must have been something wrong with the organiser's estimation of 12 km for the original run.. unless they were factoring in the gradient of the many slopes along the way, there is really no way that the original run was 12 km..

anyways.. this route is rather challenging and running enthusiasts should really try it at least once.. one needs to look out carefully for the small road (Pepys road) that leads up to Kent Ridge Park from Pasir Panjang road.. of course try to bring a friend too.. cuz the roads of Kent Ridge are really quite dark and could become creepy at night.. it did not bother me too much, though it did motivate me to run faster so as to get out of the damned place.. beware the tracks leading down from Kent Ridge Park to Science Park.. many of the lamps are not working and it is really dark.. people with night blindness may find themselves veering off the curved tracks and end up rolling down the slopes.. t'was good run for me..
