10-10-2013 VFI-Runners 17km run and caught in the heavy rain

10-10-2013 Running in the heavy rain.
From Cantonment/Keppel Rd to MBS to Marina Barrage to Benjamin Sheares Bridge to condo at Tanjong Rhu and close to the new stadium and return.
After the 8km mark heavy rain with frequent lighting thunders started.
Five runners completed 14km to 17km mixed distances.

Thanks for the run together. It was fun but really tough raining in the heavy rain.

Thanks to the ladies for the deliciously tempting food after the run.
Thanks to HC for the isotonic drinks as usual.

Cheers....
