Melawati 10km Run -29 Apr'09

After 2 weeks of hacttic job, it wanted to release all my tension. Without proper training, it was tough to go for tournaments and furthermore to perform.
Anyyway I wanted to do my best for the run. Upon reaching the runing area at 6.20am, I saw nobody there. It was dark and quiet. I toughtmaybe the evnt is going to be cancelled.

However, at 7am, there were officials there. They started the race at 7.35am. The route covered around houses, then towards the hill side and back to housing area. It was mixture of uphil, downhill and flat road.

I started pacing Sri at the beginning. Upon 2km, he got tired, but i realised Ronnie overtaking me. So I tried pacing him. Then "kuda Tua" overtook me. I just let them to lead me. Finally Hamidon ovetook me and I just stayed 50m behind him till finishing the race.

The sickening part of the race was:
1. No water station at 5km mark. My first race in 2 years finishing without water.
2. had to do 2 "U Turn" towards fininishing. This made the race to be boring.

Anyway, happy to clock 43:33. Hope to do better in the next race.

The organisers colected RM25, but only gave medal, "cheap skate" t-shirt and 100plus, vico upon end of the race. I was expecting food for that amount of money paid.

You know when "M***ys" organise, how they do it. Anyway I ran because of my passion.
