First ever race i joined since ....i dunno...since ever i guess. Woke up at 5.30 am and drove to padang merbok from Kajang around 6 am. Park my car near National monument. A lot of people is already there. Walk to Padang Merbok where the race will start. 7.30 am and the race is on. Well i just run slowly along the 10km of the hilly course...and i finished it in 85 minutes.... the longest 85 minutes in my life. i came in 1600+ from the 2800 participant. Well at least i still finished it inside the qualifying time of 90 minutes.

For my effort i get a Mizuno Shoes bag ,a running vest, certificate and some goodies discount vouchers. Anyway it just makes me more determined to do better next year and try to get a medal by being the first 1300 finisher. I'll target for a sub 60 min next year...hopefully.
