Pacesetters 15k - Sunday 18th May 2008

Shilpa and I did the Pacesetters 15k on Sunday. We knew it was going to be hilly but boy this years course was even hillier than previously. It was a very pleasant run otherwise, we ran at Shilpa's pace and really enjoyed the atmosphere.

By the time we'd done 12k Shilps was getting quite tired and it didn't help that we ran near to the finish line at that point - it helped even less when suggested that this may even be the finish!

Shilpa was very resolute and said - "We have 2 maybe 3 k to go and they're bound to send us up another hill."

"No way!" I said, "They couldn't be that mean!"

We rounded the bottom of Jalan Parlimen and sure enough they sent us up a horrible hill for the second time - by the time we got within sight of the finish Shilpa had had just about enough - she still managed to out sprint me to the line though.
