I knew that this was gonna be a tough race for me as i havent preper for it , since the start of the week i didn't train not even workout,as i was in pains .
Yes started fine but after 2km there was no more enrgy to run so had run and let the better people pass me .
After 5 km i start walking as i was so tired and burn out .Was so happy to get to the finishing .just wanted to go home and have some rest for myself .
I still finish good i guess i knew i could have run 35min there at shah alam but i have to that for next year .
My season is over now ,i wont be going to Johor 2nd link run but i want to run at singapore marathon .
My split time

PJ Half Marathon Race Report

How would i say , this was my best race for the year or was it cos of the heavy rain that gave me a little power .
I dont know cos i was surprise with my performance , this was going to be my 2nd pj half marathon so in my mine i knew that i had to improve on my last year performance that i came home 60th position.

Arrive early and report in time went for warm up , then to starting line suprise to hear the gun then set my watch .the race start im my mine i had a plan which was to better my time from putrajaya , as usual ran with the main guys then i saw that after 1 km we in fornt and there was no much challange from poeple in the back so the elite group break away which i had to follow up if not the gap will be much bigger .

It was tough to hang on to my position for most part of the race ,i took my first drink after 10k and 12k as i have been working on this through out the week , chasing down the guys in front was the most difficult job for me cos the more i increase my pace the more the get far from me . then came the rain which i say was a blessing cos for me it makes me stronger as i did train in the early morning rain last week before putrajaya , so was used to it .
With my current time on train i knew i was in touch with the guys in front . i really push during the rain as my body was getting heavy .At 18k i just took a pip at my time as i havent done so the whole race and it was 1.14.46 i knew the fisrt guy has finish although i was not so sure of the distance marker as it was confusing .
I got to the finishing at 1.25.28 from my watch and was 7th . This was my best time and with a lots of improvement , hope to maintain or better my record next time i race here .
Im look for ward to the next race at Johor ..........

My spilt time.
1k > 3.14sec

Putra Jaya Half Marathon 2005

Before this race i knew it was going to be tough race for all the runners ,i dont know the course but what i have in my mine is to run 21k .
Got there on time with the help of my friend , warm up, there where so many runners here and there . Yeah it was going to be a big race . report about 5min to the start try to move up in front so that i wont be hold up in traffic and lose time.
Start the race at 7am and i knew that i have to finish before 8.30am to avoid the sun , as i guess i was in the crowd for the first kilometer , there where so many runners a head of me and it was gonna be a hard work to catch them or even pass . I lose my position so many time and i guess i was losing time too , my body was ok and i feel good running cos i did a lots of training for 21k during the week .
At 10k i did 39 min and at 11k i did 44.04min as i had little time to check on my watch from here i knew that i got 10k more to go so i say 40 min which will putme around 1hr 24 or 1hr 25min , got charge up and i couldnt count how many people i pass .I nearly got choke by a power bar while trying to take some luckly there was a water station near by so i had to drink some water for relief . Climbing the hill here and there was good i didnt have much difficulty climbing them and running down with speed .
At 15k i made it 1 hr for the first time in a competion i lose a little time in the remaining 6k to finish . at the end i had to do one last sprint to pass this guy i was chasing for about 2km it was nice as the crowd was cheering on i like it .
As this race is over now i have learn a lot and need to improve on my time in the coming race in PJ half marathon .. hopefully i can run in 1hr 20 min ...

10.7k Adidas King of The Road 2005

This was to be my best race cos i did had a target to meet after a training to run inside 17min for 5k .

Race day.. got there on time just had a drink and more drink cos i was so thisrty that morning took some rest as if i wasnt running , 15min to start i went to warm up and went to the starting line .

Starting the race with few fast runners cos i was to finish on a high note . i even encourage two guys to meet up with me during the first few km.
there where so many hill to climb , climb up and down i losing time and position till all my legs where getting heavy.
I push and push just to meet up my time that was the most important thing to me at the moment , towards the finish one guy pass me i try to respond but can not cos my legs so heavy and i feel sick ,i had to hold on to the end .

I can say with the level of the race and how tough it was with all the very good runners in malaysia i say my performance was good .
Im back to training to day for the next race this weekend ..
