「 Ms Da Yakking Away At 11:56 pm 」

Osim Triathlon 2007

Guess what dear and I did today? Woke up at 5 am to volunteer for the OSIM Singapore Triathlon at East Coast Park! I nearly couldn't get up cos I slept at 1 plus last night. Luckily, dear was there to shake and wake me up. =)

Thanks to the previous night's rain, the reporting area was damn, and I seriously mean DAMN muddy! See for yourself!



Pool of thick, gluey mud. Yucks! Care for a swim, anyone?



Anyway, there was already a lot of people when we arrived. The ICs are supposed to reach there by 4.30am! Gosh so early! But no choice, cos today's elite category starts around 7.30am. So we need time to organise and arrange to ensure everything goes smoothly.

My 'uniform' for the day!



My volunteer pass.

My initial position was suppose to be at the volunteer tent. But many didn't turned up so I was assigned as a crossing point marshal instead. Basically the job is to stop people from crossing the tracks when the racers are approaching.

It started raining heavily halfway through the race; we had no choice but to stop the race. I was actually directing the racers under the freezing rain. Brrrgg.. It's kinda sad to see the angry and disappointed expressions on the racers' face. But it's safer to stop, isn't it? The race restarted after 20 mins; those who were halfway through the race got their distance shorten by half. =)

I left early due to some other commitments. But I got $20 reimbursement, and I will received a certificate of appreciation (participation) in a months' time.



Other than the valuable experience and memories, I gained a pair of dirty muddy feet. Bleahz..
