That damn 100km walk

Ok, a bunch of us went for this charity 100km walk again. Despite all the pain and vows last year about not taking part anymore, well, we were there again....

Date: 19-20 December 2009
Time: 7.30am - erm, when you give up or complete
Starting point: Katong CC

The photos below will explain our longgggg journey.....or part of it....


As usual, our Captain calling the shots. 7am in the morning, everybody looking very serious and determined!



Now we still can pose and laugh, later then you know....



As per our tradition, must eat breakfast before we start to walk, also give the other teams a chance to have a headstart. If not we lead all the way, not very nice.

1st leg: Katong CC to Grassroots Club (Yio Chu Kang) (~11.8km)



Still happy and can joke and play, Cindy still got strength to point at the canal, dunno for what.

After 2 hours or so, still on our way to the 1st checkpoint...

On the way to 2nd checkpoint, must rain heavily. Why? You will find out in the next photo.

Because Dianne joined us....and it rained for a few hours after that....

We remained strong! walked in the rain with fashionable ponchos!
2nd leg: Grassroots Club to MacRitchie Reservoir (~10.3km)

3rd leg: MacRitchie Reservoir to King Albert Park Macdonald House (~9.9km)

Start to pain already, need to eat comfort food to feel better in order to keep walking...

For some of us, the feet became like that....

Counterpain became our closest friend...

4th leg: King Albert Park MacDonald House to Telok Blangah Hill (~11.5km)

Dianne still acting like she is not tired at all.....this leg was the most torturous, think we walked a lot more than 11.5km to reach the next check point....

See, even our ironman Derek looked helpless, summer had to hug the pillar at the bus stop and Cindy had to...erm, look worse than she already is....

After more than 3 hours, we finally reached Telok Blangah Hill....look, they were really hungry....

Sigh, some of us were already limping at this point....guess what, it was 5 hours later until we got to the next checkpoint.....

Oh yes, Cynthia and Robin came to join us at Harbourfront.....a few of us didnt make it to the next checkpoint, which was the 50km mark....for those who did, they all went home after that. haha!

Want to join again next year?
