Adidas King of the Road 5/08/07

havent been updating my blog for a while since there is not much sporting activity..... trying hard to train for desaru pun i think i am gonna suffer big time during the cycle..... wanted to join the monyets for long rides but couldnt really find the time on saturday..... gosh i am really screwed........

coming back to the race....... its actually part of my training long run for Desaru....... managed to run about 11km (3 small loops) at Kiara with a PB of 58:30 on Friday...... the stride was there and didnt suffer much throughout the run..... then at night had a heavy meal with lots of booze with friends...... mabuk la sikit.....

wanted to Cycle the next morning but had to sent wife to Pudu station to go back to Penang..... yahoooo.. bachelor for 2 days...... dont worry cant do much actually......... got race on Sunday mah........ came back also was too tired so just slept... must be having a slight hangover.... thats why friends dont do booze ok......

woke up early on Sunday and managed to see part of the 70's Show...... boy Wilderrama and Kutcher is damn funny la...... reach Pyramid at 630 am.... wow the crowd was already lining up.... me still trying to find where to deposit my luggage....... i think it started sharp 645am and was grateful for Dato' Samy Vellu for being punctual....... u dont really get that from politician....

manage to pace Raymond and Mr Ngae the Ultraman...... but was not feeling good and couldnt really up the pace ..... after 5km Raymond was already far in front...... damn i cant be losing to him mah...... he is not a strong runner...... luckily after the U turn point.... he slowed down.... so i gladly sayur him..... sorry ah Raymond..... ego a bit lah..... but Mr. Ngae was different... as the race progresses he was getting stronger....... couldnt catch him in the end...

was looking at my watch all the time and the qualifying time was 1:45 which means a 5min/km pace....... not easy to do mah....... so when i saw the sign 2km to go with about 12mins left..... i was so suprised...... i thought i would finish sub 2 hr already...... so even though i was tired like hell...... i pushed on further...... managed to complete in 1:43 (PB)......... but suddenly realised that the route may be shorter..... especially coming back.... dont know and dont care.... means i can do better if i had rested more.... and didnt drink that much on Friday...

one thing about the water station was there was actually no water...... all stations are 100 Plus stations........ why ah?? 100 Plus so rich already until dont allow water eh?? we runners need water la........ felt so dry.... hentam 100 plus also cannot cool the body down.... but was suprised that there was 2 sponging station.... that one for Marathon ok la........ sponging for what?? maybe we would appreciate if the sponging station was changed into water station....

anyway no complains and i gotta cycle more for the next 2 weeks....... Desaru pls be kind to me... wouldnt mind if it rains during the run....
