Bidor Half Marathon


The Distance was actually 22.85km, I finished my time at 1:39hrs, got 1:31hrs on the 21st km.
It's been a while I Havnt attended long distance running and this one the was first for 2015. 
I learned a lot from this race as in for pacing, patience, and economy running. I hope the next few HM I would do better as in for timing and strategy. It's totally different from short distance running as for you need to keep your strength on the 2nd leg and the final few hundred meters. 
The route actually wasn't so bad for the first 15km, then after that it was all uphill till the 19th km, and the last 2km was abit steep. Almost had my legs cramp on the 18th km so had to slow down by then. But luckily I picked up by the 20th km. But by that time it's already too late to catch up with the 5 people ahead. 
Overall it's a good race, hoping to come back next yr and join this great race, thanks for the support!

3R INTERNATIONAL MARATHON 2015

One of the biggest events of the  year, and first full marathon event for this year.
Many people and Elites entered this race from 10km to Full Marathons. 
I focused on my 10k training a few months before this race as I got sick due to over training the last 2weeks before this race. Luckily I got pulled trough till the finish. Many pro runners entered this 10km category. Luckily got stuck with the top 10. Almost out of breath for this one. Wasn't satisfied with my timing. But it's all ok need more recovery and training balance. Hopefully my timing would be better by the end of the year. 
Congrats to those who entered and succeed in this event.

LIONS RUN 2015

TOP 10 WINNERS WITH LIONS CLUB MEMBERS

It took an hour drive to th coast of Pantai Morib, which is located 25minutes from KLIA.
We had to wake up by 2:30am to get ready plus travel time to the venue. 
Wasn't feeling to good for this race, been feeling sick pass the few training before this. So I just took it easy with an average 4:13pace, just target for top10. Managed to fall 6th ( good enough I guess ) 
Still thought I couldn't do it. But forced myself till the end. Maybe it was overtraining and malnutrition causing this heaviness. Hope the next coming race will be better. 
Thanks to friends & family for being supportive!!
