Night run- Rat Race Run Kuching 201

Hi ho,
Just two days ago was when the rat race run event was being held.
This is a charity event and more of a fun run, where us participants wear anything but normal sportswear.
Showing up that evening were, handsome and pretty office people, students, lab coat peopel, doctors and all kind, we even have a cow!!

As for myself, I put on ny old set of Taekwondo uniform, aha, I sure did.

We reached earlier and overlook how the organisers all dressed up in lady outfits and being cheered upon and their photis taken.
All that dress n make ups...and a whole lot of leg hair!

So, before we realise it they sound the horn and people in front started running. Probably cuz we were all looking at the fun show. And so did we all stsrted running as well, leaving more dumbfounded innocent people behind.

Not more than 1km did we ran that the weather decided to turn from windy to stormy, droplets started wetting the road  and the next thing we were all running in the middle of the heavy rain. At least we dont have lightnings.

Because of this the 7km and 4km options were abandoned and everyone take a 4.9 route back to the starting point.

In between the strong wind, wet and slippery uphills, flooded junctions road, we made it back to the starting point no more than 45mins after we started.
Thankfully we brought a waterproof casing for our hand phone. Or else the run would have been an expensive one which we need to send phone for repairs.
Right when we reached the end of the line we were presented with a can of beer (See? A fun run), and a bottle of sports drink. And also a singlet.
Apart from those who brought raincoats,  everyone is wet like chicken soup that fun night.

No lucky lottery win from me and dear though,  and one of our friend has a busted phone from the wetness.
Personally, running in the rain is...extremely fun!! Hahaha.
