The picture above was taken after the run,,,together with fellow Melawatian's Runners...kudos to them for completing the gruesome hilly course....gitus....
The race started around 7.00 am, oisk luckily i managed to Subuh first before i came to the reporting center,, there is a Surau nearby the Stadium ,,,lepak jap arrived quite early that morning...take a light nap ckit...parked by the road side ..while waiting for the prayer call ...parked infront of my car ..was MRSM batu pahat bus...mm there going to be a lot of students in the run...well it was...per had to run pass through them...running in line..???
As usual before run jer,,mesti ada masalah perut tau..isk..i need sometips in getting the right nutrition or diet before every race ler....i kept on having the same symptoms...i hate it..when u got this kind of uneasyness...while running...hate that....
The flag off was done by MB Selangor, here we go again...another short but hill billy route...i am quite familiar with the route....kind of reminiscing a bit about my past here in Shah Alam...the route where i used to go to work...i started off kind of slow ..due the overcrowded road...kot pushing my way through out the crowd in the begining of the uphill towards bulatan kayangan..haiyo fenat jugak....but thus time im quite motivated due to my new friend Sony Walkman and Adizero...hehe my latest craved satisfied...well they had done their job well done...syabas syabas...isk Abass that the sponsor for the mineral water...hehehe....
I took putu kacang as my carbo load..mmm bad bad choice nak power bar but mm x selera lak cheq early in the morning..mmm got to find new alternatives..as what Cheramiche would said..it gave me gas....well it did...i almost vomitted one time and it did not smell nice at all when u burp...ehhh gosh.. half of the way i took my powergel chocolate flavor...i could not finish it..cause it is too thick...may be i need to change to another brand of power gel..
It was a letdown for me....i m not proud of my timing...i cant precisely tell ...no polar yet on my wrist but i did around 70 min...teruk mar...i need to push it up..for my next half marathon...
My run this time around was quite fun i met several old and new faces....like of Zil , Kak Intan and Ping Aun( ayo after so many race this time around i managed to get to him). all the usual Melawatian runners,,Opps lupa Abg Ian juga tau..hehe finished more then 2 hours katanyer...
The organiser did a wonderful job this time....i like the running vest this time...despite the asian size limit...nasib ler siapa suruh yang amik S kan..but M for me just fine....the water station along the run was well supplied ade mineral bottles lagi wow...very convenient to carry along the run...but after run drinks per....habis cepat...mm maybe next time nak kene ade 20 counters for Milo ler...depa duk tibai per x hengat dunia ler...kalau nak senang amik kene ler habiskan race cecepat yer...
This would be my final run till after raya..it has been a very enjoyable month of runs...it a blessing in disguise...even though a pain on the legs....
Kudos to all of the fellow runners at KOTR 2009
*Clap*Clap* for finishing another run. Still, gotta work on that diet for pre-race, during race :) dont have to be the same as others eat, just what ur stomach can hold :P so i guess the next run will be Mizuno kan? 25th Oct?
