Standard Chartered Marathon KL 2010

To be honest, I was totally unprepared for this 10km run. I have no training whatsoever. Unlike my Energizer Marathon, I just couldn't find the time to practice running. Anyway, I proud that I manage to complete within the 90 minutes time frame, with seconds to spare. Hehe...

Somehow I find the Energizer Marathon better. I feel that there weren't enough drinking stations around. All we get after the race was a finisher medal and a free sample of Tiger Balm. Our cert will be sent to us at a later stage. Around the 9th km of my race, saw a fellow runner by the side of the road. He was in quite a bad shape as people were giving him CPR. The medic team was no where near and some volunteers where shouting frantically for medic to come. Hopefully the runner is ok.

The place was pack, but I still manage to meet one or two of my friends there; Jessica, William and Shelly. I didn't hang around much after the race. Was really tired and my shirt was soaking wet. I was actually cold and hot at the same time. Hot when the sun shines and cold when the wind blows.

Anyway, I think it was a good run and I'm looking forward to run in another event.

Lili and me with our finisher medal

Hoho... my 10km Finisher Medal

No sure if they will post the timing, but if they do, I'll update it here. So check back later ya.


Updates (29/06/2010):
I manage to complete my 10km run in 01:21:47, ranking 2050 out of 4321 male runners.  Shall try to target 1hr 10 minutes in my next 10km run. Lili's timing somehow did not get recorded. She must have gotten a faulty tag.

Updates (05/07/2010)
Hmmm they updated my ranking. I'm now rank 1768. I think they split the veterans out.
