2XU Compression Run 2016

2XU Compression Run was the first official run for Derp and I in 2016. The running singlet this year was white in color (instead of the usual black), we still went ahead to register for it even though we pretty much prefer the black though. 

I remembered clearly the race pack collection in 2015 was poorly organized as the race pack collection event site was too small to handle the huge crowd. The queue went all the way out of the shopping mall. I'm glad that the race pack collection this time round was smooth and well organized. 

Many volunteers on duty 

No queue! 

We collected our race pack within 5 mins upon reaching. *thumbs up*

Saw this display at the race. But again is there really a need for this? haha! But it look really cool afterall.

Not much goodies in the bag. The waist pouch is this year free gift. In 2015, it was a shoe bag.

On race day itself, we were actually late. Opps! Didn't expect them to flag off everyone without much waves but perhaps there wasn't that much people who join this year race as compared to the last. 

Good weather that morning :) 

Some pics before running,,

We were chased to quickly start the race as they do not allow people to run their category if they were late more than 15 mins from the flag off time. Didn't see that coming because most races usually allow runner to be late up to 30 mins from flag off time.

More pictures taken during the run..

Derp took this pic of me lol. Very random of him though to start taking pictures during races 

Us after the run! 

Yay to the first 10km of the year! No PB but glad that we shaved off 5 mins from 2015 's 2XU run! 

Oh well at least we improved and enjoy the process :)

Pics from the official photographer. This is something new as I don't remember they had it in 2015.

Love this pic by Running Shot

Compared it with the one taken by Running Shot too in 2015 haha. Glad that we still look like us after a year. No much major change I guess? 

2017 2XU Run registration has already opened for registration. They are bringing in back the black theme singlet/shirt (with rose gold strips) for this coming year run. Gonna sign up soon! Looking forward :)
