Klang Centro Run - 11 Oct'09

This is the 1st ever race in Klang. All the while, I have been running in KL. Thus, I wanted some different enviroment. Furthermore, the distance is only 6km, which is just nice for me after coming back from my break.

I was at the place at 6.20am although the race is scheduled to start at 7.45am. Upon doing some warm up with Suresh, we went to starting line. The race starter started the race at 7.35am itself. Luckily, i was ready at the starting point. The countdown started from 10..9...8..7..SHOOT. The starter not even finish counting, the other starter already started the race.

I just followed the leading pack, although it broke after 1km. I was wearing my new Prospec shoe, so it was a trial for me with the shoe. The route was mostly flat and it went through the housing area of Klang. When I was running, I followd Stanley from behind, but he increased his pace there after. Suddenly realised that Guna was slowing down, I followed him and overtook him at final 2km. Towards last 1km, I was "pangsai" as I didnt go toilet before the race. So I couldnt increase my pace. Guna took the advantage and overtook me at the last 500M.

Looks like I need buck up on my long runs. My next race will be Klang Pacer 12km. Should start preparing from now.
