So Joelyn<\/a> and I signed up for the NIKE BFF run at Sentosa. The race village was going to be at the Wavehouse! Around 5200 ladies signed up for the race and it was that kind of day that rained, stopped for a moment and started to rain again. Nike was pretty good since they messaged our phones to tell us about the weather and to see if the race was going to be on.<\/p>\n

It was.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The whole village is like a village of pink, black and yellow with white accents. Everywhere were just ladies. The only guys there were those who were in the crew helping out or were the photographers. Mind you, it’s a wet walk towards the village for when we reached beach station, it had been raining and everyone was hanging about wondering if it’ll go on or not.<\/p>\n

Good thing the race was not going to be on the sand but instead on the pavement!<\/p>\n

Before we begin the race, you need to make sure your Dtag is on your shoe. It’ll take your time and I have no idea how how the machine works but eh, it senses when we pass through the starting and finishing line to keep our time!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here’s a pictorial guide to fasten your Dtag. Separate it from the instructions, loop it around your laces. Check if you’ve placed it where the bit says Dtag side up and then peel the tape and paste it together. The clip will secure it to make sure it doesn’t unravel and then you’re done!<\/p>\n

The emcees, I didn’t catch their names but they were mighty entertaining. If you twittered and used instagram with the hastag #goddessbff and other hashtags, you’d see your picture on the big screen on stage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Soon it was time to get ready for the race. That’s everyone there waiting to get into the main area to run. DJ Two Face were there mixing up jams. Beyonce’s Who Run the World was the theme of the day anywho.<\/p>\n

We had to wait quite a while because the staff were clearing obstacles in the run area.<\/p>\n

The obstacles were peacocks.<\/p>\n

Darn you peacocks.<\/p>\n

I got a picture of it during the run, they usually hang around the cafe area too.<\/p>\n
