I got the message and ran towards the main road. Indeed, the race had just started; we were just in time to follow the rear pack. Usually such races would start as scheduled or late but never earlier. As the sky had darkened with a possibility of rain, I deduce the organizers wanted to get it going as quickly as possible.
The cool condition was ideal to subdue the overheating body. After 20 mins, it started to drizzle and I begin to worry for Mee Peng. Fortunately the rain stopped. After running this route for the 3rd year, familiarity helped to pace the slopes accordingly.
Towards the last meters, the ever reliable cameraman Tey was there again to snap this shot. Thank you sir!
Receding hairline!
According to Jamie’s GPS the distance was 9.89 km. I finished in 1:01:49.
There were plenty or should I say oversupply of canned beverages, hot teh tarik, and nasi lemak were distributed in abundance. There were chairs and tables thoughtfully set-up for runners to eat and drink all they can comfortably – a first I have seen. The stalls seem to overwhelm the race event itself!
Later shopped at Tesco and at the same time get free parking.
