Singapore - Macritchie Resevoir

A typical Saturday morning in Singapore 28 deg C and sunny.
I had not run since the 28th Aug (3 weeks ago) and the chest still had some fluid in it. Still, the opportunity to do a lap of the resevoir was too great to ignore.
The trail was 3.5ks from Vicky & Kotch's house (where we were staying). Wonderful hosts & great friends from Sydney (Mackerel). Vicky dropped me off at the start of the trail where there were about 100 people warming up for their chance to run the trail - which is about 11.5kms around.
after a quick trip to the toilet I was ready to go....saw this on the toilet wall...


So, being aware of the monkies was important!

Images of the trail looking over the water at about 7am....just magic....a good day to be alive...





I have never seen kids train as hard as I saw in this place. It is the Singapore National Canoe training centre.

Saw plenty of monkies - this time with a little baby...

Second time I have run this trail. All in all, a great couple of hours. Drank about 1L of fluid & coughed my way around the track but well worth the experience.
