2011 a new resolution!

Hi Guys,

Sorry I have been missing for about a year, was taking the time to "entertain" my daughter & wife and also for my knees to recover.

2011 is coming and I am returning back to take on all the actions there are once again, but this time with a little mini me "Lyla" & if the Mrs. allows :(

My routine run will start on 2nd January 2011 and all other Sundays @ Bukit Tunku. Followed by all other events I can get myself registered in. However all running events above RM 50 which are not either half or full marathons, I would refrain myself from registering because I consider them as a profit making event.

Nevertheless, the runs I look forward to this year are the following:

1.> Energizer Night Marathon - www.energizernightrun.com.my
2.> Standard Chartered KL Marathon - http://www.kl-marathon.com
3.> Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon - www.marathonsingapore.com

Any dare devils wanna join me in the Full Marathon category? heh heh... :)

Bareno Run 2010



Energizer Night Race 2010

New Balance Pacesetters 30KM - 17 Jan 2010

Date : 17th January 2010
Venue : Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur
Time : 5:30am

AMAZING, it is the 1st word that I can utter. I can also bequeath this as one of the best runs in my life and it is for a good reason. I managed to excise about 1 hour out of my previous record which was 4hr 30mins, even though I was in a bad physical condition (Flu, Knee, Calf and Ankle Injury).

I managed to get above by extending my steps (longer strides), using the 1 leg run technique and managing my mental torture & the desire to walk (heh heh heh).

Ija ran 30KM and finish in 4hr 15mins + 2 toilet breaks.
Alex ran 30KM and finish in 3hr 38mins which is superb for a 1st timer.
Rupa ran 20KM and finish in 2hr 30mins + toilet break, which is excellent for her current level!!
Jaime ran 10KM and finish 1hr 10mins.

Below is my race result on my Nike+



It started as any other running days with my “kan cheong ness” feeling before the run & as usual I told myself that “I will quit at the finish line” :P.

At sharp 5:30am the horn was blown and the race started, the 1st challenge was the Padang Semarak uphill & Tugu loop then the famous Bukit Tunku 1st Hill followed by Damas Hill & continued by Bukit Tunku 2nd Hill till the finish line. Sounds simple isn’t? Trust me it is not as easy as you think it is till you do the run. Like what my boss say and I quote “nah, you didn’t tried hard enough”.



Event is superb a side from be below flaws:

1.> Lack of distance marker.
2.> Only 1 isotonic drink stop.
3.> Shortage of finisher medals and t-shirts.

Other than that, my applause & gratitude to New Balance & Pacesetter for organizing such a great event.

Event Rating : 6.5/10 – Above Average.
