KLIM 2006


Me in action.....running with cramp on both legs

Post Race Report.

After completing my first marathon at the KLIM 2006 i have a sense of relief now even though i couldnt meet up my target time .Yes i broke down when it really matters most to me to get the time i was looking for.

The race started quite well , i was right at the the middle or i say at the back becos i fine it difficult to get up front even after the race had started , I was here with alot of inexperince on how to run a marathon but i was determine to do well, It took quite a while to get pass the slow starters before hitting hard to go .

I was quite suprise when i got to the 5km mark i heard my time was 18min 35 s, that was fast i say even that i started so slow i try to reduce the speed at 10km i hard my time was 38min i say oh my God so fast but i had to keep going at that pace as there where so many runners a head of me , i slow down after the 10km so that i could have enough energy to finish, at 15km i did 1hr and at 20km i keep going on the same pace .Some many runners i pass on the way try to keep up but i was so fast for them but this one guy i dont know maybe from thailand was like on my tail for a long time time. At 30km i was 2hrs 02min so i was quite happy the way i was going but not long i started to feel that my thighs where feeling funny as i pour alot of water on my body this i never try in training so doing it at the race was quite unusual ,at 32 km the guy pull ahead and i couldnt keep up with him so i singnal that he should go , at 35km i time was 2hrs 26 i knew i lost so much tuime in that place but i could still meet my target if i keep going without having cramp. Then before i know it i ws hook i try but had to stop for a while then hold my leg for it to release me i guess i most have lost like 2min there, then then i started going slowly becos i was almost there , then i saw the girls come pass me 1,2 then 3 girl i say wao my race is over i guess , i try but my second leg i got another cramp i waited longer here and people keep passing i say no i have to try and run if not i wont make it to the finish line then i keep going slowly time i make the u turn and headed home for the last 5km i feel the i spend almost 30min and and i try for people not to past me any more in the end i did 3’01’06 for my first marathon . I was so happy to finish the race .

Next now i have to preper for the next race in sarawak i have to give another try to make a good time there in 18days ..
