running alck

GE Pacesetter 30Km is held at Tapak A, Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur. Met up with some of the sgrunners and ate together the day before the race. They are scoopsouplady, babumouse, spcher and his friends (sgrunners nick).

We agreed to meet each other at hotel lobby 4:45am and took a cab down to the start point. Done a warm up run before the race. I’m mentally prepared that there are approx 19 slopes (statistics given by tey).  Due to insufficient hydration the night before, i felt thirsty and performance dropped tremendously.

Reached the first water point at 5km, drank a sip of water and continue running slopes after slopes; I was getting quite tired after 15km or so. I keep myself in pace most of the time. At the very last few km, the weather starts to heat up and i have to try to finish up asap.  I completed the race at 3:16: 13; thou the timing isn’t that impressive; but i managed to pull it through with the number of slopes and shortage of waterpoint.

On the whole, this race is well oragnized. The running route was well planned, despite the up-and-downs hills. All finisher would entitled a finisher medal and a finisher tee for 30km. & met the qualified timing. oh ya, that’s include an event singlet as well. Thou the water point is 5km away from each other, but the water sponsored by powerbar.

Congrats to all finishers especially those travelled with me. they are scoop, babumouse, spcher and his friends. I have uploaded some photos. thanks to tey for snapping 2 photos of me finishing
