Mizuno Wave runs starts at 7.30am.
My first competitive run with the Oakley Jawbone.
Pros:
1. Cancels out the glare from the morning sun.
2. Clarity is superb, took off the shades to see the sun shinning straight to my eyes!
3. Didn't have to adjust much, good fit. Not to mention its super light.
4. Sweat and water on the lens didn't affect my performance
5. Makes me feel like a superstar!
Cons:
1. For some reason, i had to take of the Jawbone a few times because sweat kept retaining in my eyes.
2. A tad too big for running, perfect for cycling.
Its a real shame that the run was sooo badly organised. (I'm sorry, let me bitch abit...)
Pet peeves of a competitive runner:
1. Bottleneck crowds (traffic jam of runners) due to the planning of only ONE wave.
2. Marshallers directing runners to the wrong direction! Some of us ran 1-2KM more...
3. This concerns safety and its extremely important in ALL endurance events: Too few water points and there's NO WATER at some of them!!!
4. Traffic lights - come on, red light for a few secs, how to run competitively?
5. No road block - 'Runners please keep to the pavement, no running on roads' Super pissed off.
Quit running and walked after 1hr of pointless running.
The worst run i attempted so far. The only highlight of the run was a sweet finisher's medal.
But, I did not feel i earned it at all.
