NTV7 Feel Good Run
It was supposed to be a recovery run, but somehow I can't help it to run it like a race, for what reason I am not sure. Time ? 0:34. It wasn't exactly 7KM, more like 6.7KM only.
Since Siemens Run has been postponed to 25th Sept 2011, my next run will be end of the month, plenty of time to rest and allow my knee to recover. :D
p/s : forgot to refresh iphone for new album, end up no song in the phone and have to run with youtube....hahaha! imagine running and searching youtube...
Standard Chart KL Marathon
I am supposed to write this post 2 weeks ago but I was too busy with....... (you don't want to know, those are excuses..:P). This is my 4th half marathon of the year, in fact I only started my half marathon attempt this year. 2 more half marathon to go for this year to hit my target of 6, registered for Newton 30K in Singapore, yet to register for PBIM this year coz that is a LP weekend, which means I will have to look for another half marathon.....
Back to SCKLM, the biggest event for 2011 so far, experience from previous 3 HM tells me that I need to start slow and steady to prevent muscle soreness after KM17/18, so I took my time to warm up for the 1st 3 KM. Starting from 4th KM, the pain from the previous run ( NB15K and Hoohathlon) hit me again, light but i can feel it coming, the pain was there for a while and gone until I saw Milx at 7th KM, haha, looks like this time I will be ahead of him and get the front pose for picture later.
Overtook Milx at 7th KM and I made a big mistake by trying to be competitive with a pretty girl will nice hair, i think she and her partner were going at 5.30/km, which I am able to keep up and overtook them. There came the problem when my right knee pain came back and hit me at 10th KM, this is no good, I had to slow down to 7:00/km and luckily there was 1st aid station at 11th KM and I managed to get the spray to ease the pain. Nice half way point with banana given, :D
The spray effect only lasted 2KM when the pain came back to hit me again, I had to slow down again and at around 14/15th KM there was another station for spray, lucky me.
Running into Bukit Bintang area and toward Jalan Ampang was nice, it reminded me about the Nike Run last year, :D after 18th KM, I started to feel OK with my legs and I knew it is home coming already as I was running along Jalan Sultan Ismail, speed up a little even though I can feel muscle soreness and numbness started to kick in.
It feels great when the half marathoners finally join the big crowd of 10KMers heading back to Dataran Merdeka, but I had to move left and right to overtake the crowd. As I approached the finishing line, suddenly the tiredness is gone and I still have some energy to dash through the finishing line.
I didn't managed to hit my target of 2:06 hours, but I think if the actual distance is really longer than 21KM as tracked by my Garmin, I actually hit exactly 6:00/km.
After that managed to bump into old friends who did 5/10KM, nice bunch friends who refused to upgrade to 21KM, hopefully Shirley Goh will upgrade by year end, LOL!
Next run is NTV7 feel good run, after that I think I need to rest my legs after that to prepare for Men's Health Shape Run on end of July.
