PAR4 - Trial Run 2

i woke up at 5am to prepare my stuff, went out by 5:30am to taman metropolitan kepong. a lot of frustration when i get there, actually the place is quite easy to find, but when u went wrong one route u definitely difficult to find it. i had been to gombak, bandar baru selayang, almost kuala selangor etc. a wonderful yet frustrating journey, wakaka...when i thought i won't get there mia lah, then i decided to go home then i found petronas and shell, so made an u-turn, finally i got there, :p

once the race had started, i actually accelerate follow my own pace, i knew that if i dun accelerate at the beginning, in the middle and the last kilometer to the finishing line, i won't have stamina to run liao, so i juz follow ronnie and the other runner from behind during the first 500 meters, wow! they r amazing, their speed was getting faster & faster, i knew that i couldn't pace with them anymore, so i decided to pace with another runner kenny tan i guess, serious he was getting faster too but not as fast as ronnie so i still can catch him up, few minutes later, he was gone far away from me too...no choice that i have to with another runners in front, i juz kept my stamina going. i saw kevin ng far behind from me so i guess he won't have chance to catch me up, but after few minutes, he was incredible, chasing me from behind, so when he chased me up, i tried so hard to accelerate myself to the finishing point but...unfortunately he was speeding super duper fast that i couldn't win against him. my timing is 18 min 08.86 sec.

what a day for me! not only had fun but knew some frenz there, and they shared experiences to each other, kevin ng shared his experience and strategies to me, he has been running for 8 years, participated 18 full marathons. unbelievable! had a great run with the pacemaker today, running with them actually very fun, a great experience for me!
