GE

I was there at the recent GE Women’s 10K run. No not as a participant but was there with  a friend to take some photo’s of the event since I can’t be running in it. Did not really have to wake up too early for it. We arrived at the event just in time as we made our way to the start. Used the overhead bridge as a vantage point to get the runners coming down field. After that we made our way to the end point which was at the Padang just in time to the get lead runners coming in. I move around a bit went all the way to the esplanade and back again to the end point. Here are some of the shots taken.

who

There were a lot of photographers there, from the official guys to the media to the professionals and to the weekend photographers or those who were there to take family and friends. Here’s a shot of a camera man taking the runners guess he was not expecting someone behind him taking the shots.

And below the Elite Runners coming home. The winner from Kenya and I think the other photo should be the first Singaporean.
