So while you and your wife doing the Siemens run, I'll be pounding the road for Pudu run. :)<br /><br />Scared stiff though. I bet I would be among the last ones to finish the race.

LOL!<br /><br />But good of your hubby to recce the route with you. The route is pretty flat except for area area behind the PICC section. After you're through that stretch, it's home free with flats all the way. <br /><br />Good luck on the Pudu and KLIUC runs.Nick Phillips (15/03/1967 - 04/11/2022)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01043552434776358684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252197520846896621.post-63110438012916488312011-09-04T00:30:50.440+08:002011-09-04T00:30:50.440+08:00Nick,

Never thought of the belt that way until I read it! But I'm surprised people think it's unusual. I would've thought with the number of races and more taking to running, these accessories would've been commonsight.<br /><br />Anyway, think of the belt as a device to slow you down on days you need to slow down LOL!Jamiehttp://www.jamiepang.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252197520846896621.post-85602454022805035212011-09-01T21:15:25.386+08:002011-09-01T21:15:25.386+08:00Lina, you're welcome.

LOL!<br /><br />I've got my silly superstitious nonsense but essentially you just have to show up. Try to bring the minimum items if you drive there cos car break-ins are a concern.<br /><br />Race attire wise, don't use anything new and untested, use the stuff you're comfortable with and you're set to go. Just go there and enjoy yourself.Nick Phillips (15/03/1967 - 04/11/2022)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01043552434776358684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252197520846896621.post-1792507626058345742011-08-31T20:26:07.898+08:002011-08-31T20:26:07.898+08:00LOL at your wife's comment.
