EventBiz Charity Trail 2015

First of all, it wasn't an easy trail. Something like the MAEPS route

50% trail 50% Road, the first 2-3km was a killer incline. Then afterwards was an upward downward route. But still managed to be in 5th.

I'd train very hard from my races and unlike before I don't want to take my races for granted. Win or lose its part of the game. But most importantly never give up hope as u will reap the benefits sooner or later in the future.

DRAGON BACK 10KM

The first time taking the Dragon back race in Meru Klang. 

Now I know why is it called dragon back, exactly like a dragons body going up and down.

I couldn't get my PB because the road is too steep to get  steady pace, all it needs is endurance and strength. Sadly they said this will be the last 10km category. But we'll see if next year they will have it or not. Although not having a good PB I managed to be in third place not far behind Saddam.

Newton Challenge 2015

Distance: 14:75km

Time: 1:02:30

Placing : 7th

Finally after months trying to get my fitness back to 100%, my body feels more refreshed during this race. At first I didn't dare to follow the lead pack and wanted to maintain my steady pace. But looks like I just followed them till half of the race. This was just after the Cyberjaya Marathon. It took me several weeks to reflect on what I eat, what training I did. Had to dissect and study every details of it.

Feeling blessed to be back in the top10 category, hoping to get back to the top 5 soon. 

Cyberjaya TwinCity Marathon 2014

Distance: 22.4Km 

Time: 1:38Hrs

Where: Cyberjaya DPulze

Position: 7th

This is my second attempt for a half marathon this year, Not very fond of Half but this time I managed to like it. It took me some time to understand doing Half marathons, as you can't go too fast or too slow.

It's all about maintaining your pace. And I was very nervous as I don't want to screw this up. Well I didn't actually but got lost for 1.4km and on the 11th km a few of us were uncertain for the route as there were no Marshall's and it was too dark to see the route markers. This made me screw up my pace and inconsistency. Well .. On the 18th Km I try tp speed up a little as there were 3km to go and guess what the Marshall was sleeping and suddenly woke up and showed me the wrong way.

I realized this after heading to a dead end. I almost gave up but still thought I could still do this. So I managed to uturn and overtake 4people, and I found my friend who was leading and he got lost too for 5km (He managed to get 5th).  I saw my watch and I saw my 21km was 1:32hrs. and tried to push my pace even more.

Luckily still got into the top 10 spot. Well I must say this is an adventurous race. Lost or not I somehow proud of my timing and could do better for future Half Marathons. 

PBIM 2014

This is my 2nd attempt for a FM this year. I had a better timing from my Melaka Marathon (3:33hrs )

But I don't think I prepared 100% for this one. Luckily the route was just flat. The pain was that needed pace consistency. A big event I knew I couldn't be in the the top 15 and just had to put a mind set that my goal was just my timing and not getting in the top 15.  That was the hardest mental challenge. 

To me FM recovery is much faster than an ultra. Just needed more strength and endurance training.

This coming year I will focus more on shorter / middle distance running to pickup my pace as for last year I already covered my mielage. Hope all goes well! 

 

New Balance Half Marathon 2014

Did my NB10km on 23rd nov 2014,

Didn't feel well throughout the warm up. Maybe wasn't enough recover since my PBIM FM a week before this. 

It was an easy route but still had to struggle a lot during this race, many elites were in this category. 

Result will be published soon.

Thanks for readng. 

A New Beginning

Taking time out from races and just doing some light exercises and hanging out which I love to do, catching up with old friends going to gallery's gigs and stuff. Running takes a lot of your time. And sometimes u need to ease on it either wise you'll burn out. 

Last week met some old friends of mine some which I Havnt met in 12 yrs. it's good to know that people are progressing rather than whining and just not doing anyting and just sit their ass off. 

Do as much as you can in this short span of time and contribute as you never know when you'll leave this planet. Ok, enough talking just check out some photos I posted. Thanks!
