Preparation
The previous race I completed was the 2XU compression run in Singapore, March 2016. Dino Dash 5k on September 9th was comeback day.
I met many friends at the start and finish/
Wearing a Team GB top prompted looks and questions from others, including "are you in the military?"
The race
A great start, it was a thrill to be running again. One runner took to running on the central reservation. If he had been wearing a hat with horns on it, he would have resembled a mountain goat.
It was quite hot on the course, so I paced myself.
After many interesting sights (such as above), the finish took place on an athletic track.
Finish and finale
The finish line was a model dinosaur mouth. I broke an imaginary finish line tape.
Above, a
wonderful hi five.
Finish medal is a nice souvenir.
Friends were all glad to see me finish.
Lunch was a reward of
xiaolongbao. The Regal Cat Cafe hosted a quiet after-party. Pensive, I asked myself: what's next? Next year, there will be a number of races, in various locations. At the present time, it's great to be back.
Way to go Peter. Congratulations. Glad to see you are back at it. Stay strong.
