Klang Half Marathon - 7 June'09

After poor performance in KL Open yesterday in 1500M where I only manage to do 5:29, I wanted to do something today.

It's a new track for all of us. I had ben to Setia lam only once, but today I maange to see the whole area by running the event.

When I reached teher at 5.15am, I couldnt see anyone except for official. Then, I just hang around the area till i met Lionel and Veronica (Hot Girl).

The reace started late about 10minutes. Upon flag off, I got into the top50 gryp. I just maintaned as I dont want to make myself suffer.
The bad thing was, theer were 2 water stations at first 4km which was a total waste.

As I was running after 10km, my throat got dried, but luckily there were people pacing me, so I just focused on my running. Theer were beautiful houses at certain place, but there were also dry and boring sceneries which dulls my mood.

There were 4 U-Turn which was a setback. However, I just maintained and at certain point "Chen Pong Pong" was doing fartlek. So I tend to overtake him back, whenever he overtakes me.

The gap broke as I was running alone after 11km, but ther were a big group behind me. Thus I couldnt slowdown. Whe the 11km people joined us, I had "extra umph" and made them as my pacers. I increased my pace for the last 5km and manage to overtake 4 person.

1'30.37 - Ben Swee, Pm50 (9th)
1'31.15 - Murali Nathan (10th)
