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 ..........
