Brooks Half Marathon 2012: The Event Day

Brooks Half Marathon!!!

One of the unforgettable running event. At least for all EFRs. All EFRs except EFR 6, who was injured night before the run has able to have a run on that day. The event starts bit early rather than normal running event. At 5.45am, 21km half marathoners kicked off, while 10km runners at 6.15am. 

Talking about the race route, whoa....

It's a tough, hilly race route which challenge the body's strength and stamina. A lot of long slope uphill, but without long slope down the hill in contrast. Some of EFRs experienced their personal worst, and none has make their personal best actually. Haha. Some says that by using GPS, they found out that the route is longer than what stated. For 21km category, some runners say that the GPS distance is roughly 22km, and for 10km, it's roughly 11km. 

One special thing in this event is the Tau Foo Fah served after the run. Good idea & nice y'all. Lots of runners didn't wear the vest given. I think the runners know why. Here's the snapshots on the event day.
