2007 JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge
I got to know JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge from the email sent by my company HR personnel.
This event will provide employees with an avenue to excercise, foster company pride and teamwork, while participating in a fund raising event that contribute to the local charities.
The registration fees is $35 but we are only required to pay $10, rest sponsored by company. Without hesitation, I signed up for this event together with my department collegue.
It’s a 5.6km run in the evening (6 pm) of 3rd May. This year run drew a record crowd of more than 11,000 participants from 345 companies.
First time running JP Morgan. I am within the running crowd…
The afternoon before the run, it was raining heavily. However, the shower stopped at about 3 pm, thus made a perfect weather for running on that evening.
I got to know a few collegues from other department/fab during the bus trip to Padang. Even surprise and nice meeting someone that I known (equipment vendor) at the Padang among the crowds. Ha Ha!
Started the race along with SK, S, and CS. In the initial run, a lot of effort and time wasted trying to overtake, very congested. The running space was limited, probably due to large amount of participants and the construction at Marina Promnade? I stopped a few time after the 2.5 km.
Towards the final few hundred metres, GS saw me and cheered me up to the finishing line. I increased my pace and clocked 37 mins 58 sec.
My shoe is full of mud while back in Padang and required a thorough wash before I can put it on again. Will it be staining brown even after washing?
My BIB number - 3476, and JP Morgan sling bag.
Check here for full result.
the run was great, next year must join together again.
