KL City Day Run - 21 Feb'2010

Im taking part in competition after lapse of 3 weeks. I just started my proper tarining from last Sunday. I knew the wheater going to be hot, thus i prepared with adequate fluid in my body.

I just registered yesterday as I got stuck with my job. I paid RM10 and:

1.no tshirt given
2. no proper food, only milo, 100+ n cereal.
3. no cash price
4. shoes given to winners was worth only RM20
5. the shoes were wrong size (1 size 9 and 1 size 7)
6. no cash voucher
7. medals were not stated with positions (as promised)

I think FTAA is really doing bad. They charge RM30 for cross country, which is just exhoubident. Dont tell me they cant find sponsor. Bullshit. Looks like too many insider trading.

Anyway, come back to my story, as I started the race, I followed Amutha but she went too slow as she is still recovering from the Putrajaya Marathon. This made the rest to vertake me and go.

Thus, from bank negara onwards, i was packed inside like sardine. Then slowly i overtook people. When came to tijani hill, Ronnie overtook me, then alam shah. I tried to keep pacing with them but couldnt.

After half way mark, there was water station, but no water but 100+. I couldnt drink much as people were following me from the back.

Luckily after the water station, I paced a veteran n he paced me till parlimen. When I reached parlimen, I realised there was another pelathon following me . Damn, I increased my pace and get out from them.

But Thurei managed to overtake me. When I cane to final 500M, I pushed myself and overtook, nearly 10 of them and closed gap with Thurei. Then when reaching final 200M, I realised Guna was oin front of me, Thus i pushed my self and overtook him.

The pace made me to match Thurei and another guy. we were head to head, but Thurei and other guy manage to pip me as their sprinting skills were better than mine for the last 50M.

Whatever i was placed 34th out of 500.

Looking for Bareno run on 14th March.
