arrived dataran at 6.30am together with chen kwok and chee wah. had a proper warm up and met up with old usual running friends chatting around. this was der important race for me as it was a trial run for having done so much of training. according to Lai Fong Sang, der distance would be approximately 7.5km. so i need to set my target to sub 35 minutes.
der race started at 7.30am, i paced well with Gaby in der 1st 3km, but he slowed down afterwards. i saw andrew overtook me in der 4th km juz before der water station and i tried to catch him up. meanwhile i met william chan, when he ran downhills he was quick, i did not even pace him. another happy thing was i managed to overtake chen kwok who tried very hard to catch me all der way. after jalan salahuddin, i ran faster to leave william behind, and suresh had ran faster after that and passed me, however Gaby managed to close gap and overtake me back after jalan salahuddin until der 500m. meanwhile, chen pong pong super high speed sayured everybody in front like nobody business. in der last 500m i managed to sayured Gaby back and Chew Wee Shea and never turn back. der most amkan thing was i thought der finishing line was at dataran itself, i stopped suddenly and Chew shouted at me that der finishing line was not at dataran but at der field, i felt very tired already and tried to turbo back but it was difficult. i got my position 56th with time 34'55.25. Sue's GPS showed 7.56km.
