New Balance Real Run

The ultimate cross terrain run! Being the avid event chasers, Cindy and I joined the 15km run which includes of 4km of mud, 10.4km of runway, and 0.6km of sands trail.

Armed with the new Vivitar and Super Sampler, we reached Changi Coast Road at about 630. There's another hour till the event, so we just fooled around with our new toy.



































































Cindy is getting ready to run.













Mud trail is the first challenge. Luckily it never rain on that day.













This cone signified the end of mud trail and the start of the road.














The drink station at the start of the road.














The runway got boring after a while; this is the view we looked at for almost 6km.













So we looked at the sky sometimes.













Finally, something different, the sand trail, the 15km challenge was coming to an end soon.













The sand trail was pretty fun, too bad it was only 0.6km. We were again out of the park and hitting the road.













The last stretch to go home. I have no idea how did the ghost image of the arrow sign manage to slip into the photo.

I was very anxious to see the result of the Vivitar, as the pictures that I saw on various site were all pretty exciting. The first roll didn't disappoint me. Although I wasn't really satisfied when I first saw the photos, the second time I looked at it, I started to find these pictures interesting, with the unexpected light stream shining in certain pictures, and the soft vignettes at the edges.

It might be psychological, like how parents always think their baby looked best.

If you don't like them, I am going to hypnotize you.

These pictures are nice.
These pictures are nice.
