Addidas King of the Road

The Adidas King of the Road was supposed to be held on Aug 3 have been rescheduled to Aug 10.

Ok guys... I heard from grapevine that the run will NOT be NPE Subang (Sunway Pyramid).... but at Shah Alam...

U know why... the someone who say CANNOT eventhough the NPE official says OK.. 'cos he's from the Federal Govt and since Selangor is under Pakatan Rakyat, no one is allowed to organised any race on the Highway as its under the Works Ministry and this have deprive economic value of the people in Selangor likewise in Penang doing business...

Thinks we should write to PM or DPM and ask him to tell his staff that POLITICS DO NOT MIX WITH SPORTS else SPORTS in M'sia will never improve and only be JAGUH KAMPONG

Ok since the race will be in Shah Alam, the route I don't where lah.. so wait for the entry forms next week....

POLITICS DO NOT MIX WITH SPORTS

RMAF HALF MARATHON May 25th 2008

Kudos to the organizer of RMAF, well organized and one of the best local race that I took part other than those organized by running clubs. Water and Sponge station imagine for 10km pun ada….

Feedback from those who took part in the 21km.. every 2.5km either water sponge station and also got powergel.. wah lah weh… for RM25 not bad ya what’s more with finisher medal, b’fast and health/shape magazine

A total 5,500 runners took part and those who want to run a ‘pelumba haram’ was denied at the entrance… RH wanted to run the 21km but was denied ‘cos no bibs and he has to follow me together with Maryann and stand behind me so that he can sneak in….after the 21km been flag off.

Once inside the run way, we head to the starting point and most of the runners are the RMAF personnel and ‘cos 10km is for the veterans versus the RMAF runners so that they can match with ‘kuda tua’

RH decided to do 21km since its only 30mins late, should be no problem for him as his PB is 1hr 40mins… (I think).

The 10km route … have to pass the Chinese cemetery lah… so I met G Subramaniam who got 2nd for the men’s veteran, and he told me that he ask ‘people’ at the cemetery that he just passing by.. ‘cos pantang.

All in all the race is well organize no complain ‘cos I got a medal for the 10km came in 45th place as medal only for top 50 and its was my best time of the year 47mins.

Maryann came in behind me got 7th placing.

As for the 21km, SM got 6th placing despite twister her ankle a week ago.. but to her pain is no barrier….

So guys have a day ya and c u in the next run

Simulation Midnite for Sundown - Putrajaya May 11

75 runners turn up for the run, didn't realize the response was over whelming as I thot originally only 30 runners would turn up. The last 1 week my cell phone been ringing 'cos of more runners would like to join in the run.

A group photo was taken by Chan before the start of the run.

It was sure an experience for runners to run past midnight and also to adapt the weather as it was very humid.

S'pore will be much hotter if the weather is the same at Putrajaya last sunday..(ask Ben and Mohan, these 2 guys will share their experience)

Feedback I rec'd, from some runners.. those who slept prior to run felt good, whereas those who didn't have to adjust their pace after the 21km as their body just felt tight.

So runners taking part in the Sundown Marathon, have a few hours sleep on May 31 no shopping ya .. after the race then go and enjoy....

Next week NB15km... ..

The distance is 30km, you will be running 3 loops and water station is at the mid point ie 5km, pls wear bright clothes or better still dress up like 'christmas tree', there will be support crew either cycling or driving to ensure the safety of the runners.

Police will be patrolling also as I have written to them.

So to those who will be coming, do have a few hours sleep before you come as this is what those runners who have experience in running past midnite till morning.

This simulation run is not a race but to test yourself mentally and physically on your body.

See you guys this Sunday 12:15am at Palace of Justice Putrajaya Precint 2.
