It's a new place developed at Shah Alam called "I-City". Since its a working day for KL, I thought most of the runners wont be there. But it went otherway round. Although, no foreigners were allowed but this attracted more local runners.
10 of them were there led by Muniandy. This had rubbed off my hopes of qualifiying into top 20 placing. The stupid organiser only allocated 20medals for open category and 50medals fo veteran. damn, my category had more participants.
When the race started, I paced the leading team, which was a mistake. After 2km,Ronnie overtook me and just went off. The whole route was flat except for 2 places where there was a small hill. Upon U turn, I started counting my place and realise that Im in 30th position. I uncreased my pace, but th hot weather mademe to be dehydrated. I continued overtaking 3 of them.
The finishing was tough as it was hilly and hot.
When i reached the finishing line, they just gave me cert. damn, I finished without medal for 1st time since May' 2005. But, i lost to quality runners.
I went to Royal Selangor club to have shower and went to work at 10.30am as I'm going to work till 1am.
Decided ot to run in a tournament where they offer less 30medals and cash price included.
