Pg Round Houses Relay and Energizer Race

for the 2 consecutive weeks i joined races...
1 is in pg another is in sepang circuit...
its actually the 1st time i reached sepang...

pg got 2 prestige relay u must join each year...
mid year is round houses year end is round island...
round island i joined almost every year...

but round houses i missed it many years due to study at jb that time...
but not this year anymore...
alex called me ask me join bm leopard...

i agreed...
infact in pg theres some other running club...
example:old&young,o2 hiking club,forward,plbs...

but till today i stay put with bm leopard which i think till today not regret about it...
the most important reason is that i dont like to run just coz of the $ that pour in...
other team did using such strategic to lure the best runners...

but not for bm leopard...
i like alex style that never using such tactic...
some more our team can be considered 1 malaysia team...

thinking back when i joined this team was almost >5years agos...
and all the member inside this team is very frenly though i seldom join them training...
anyway like kakithon,the team nowaday also having difficulty finding young generation...

especially chinese teenager...
last time i always being the youngest in this apek team...
but not this time anymore...

andrew the rising youngster is 1 of the youngest...
i thinking with proper training and coaching...
he can be 1 of the top gun in pg here...

well...switch back to the race...
i wasnt really expect to be 2nd runner of the 8men relay...
anyway in a team i never question captain decision...

i just try my best to complete the race in best time i could...
1st runner always being batharaj...
also 1 of my penang state top runner...

anyway he dont really up to his usual performance at that day...
the baton when he passed to be alrd in 5 or 6th placing....
if not mistake i over took 2 fler...

finishing in 8.30 of this 2.4km course wasnt really a fast pace...
as alex told me his pb 8.24 till today no 1 beat it in our team..ha...
eventually our team finished 5th which a blown from our expected 4th placing....

1 of the member run at terrible 11min...
anyway i dont feel must dismay about all this since its a team event...
after race alex told me to get some fler for round island and i agreed...

hopefully there will be some kakithoners come up here to help out our team...
lets look at energizer race...
must really thaks han for taking us to sepang there...

also with ah wong,10...
i dont really target anything of this race...
just wanna try my best for this 15.5km course since i not familiar with the surrounding....

the pre race condition is almost like in singapore sundown....
ample of spaces...
started at 8.20pm for 15.5km...

as i ran into front pack i realize that only 4flers can be my real contender...
our front pack together with rama,casey stick together till going outside the circuit course...
then most of the time i ran alone by looking the white vest fler almost 50m front of me...

i thought hes either prabakaran or rama...
then come casey...damn fast he was...
i thought that hes injury must be almost recover since the last time i compete with him was different case...

up hill i lost to him,down hill equal and flat area i won...
so even till the last 4km he still stick with me...
not to mention another malay fler aziz....

hes fast as well...
and he overtook me to the 4th placing....
then i noe just to maintain this 5th placing....

anyway my pace become slowed down at last 1.5km which appear to be suffered for me...
think must be my low mileage training the causes...
no choice i just ran as fast i can think is dropping from normal 15.5km/h to 12.5km/h rate...ha

then at the finishing i trying to catch up with casey but just out of energy with 2secs behind him...
then i saw 10 and wong thr...
wong said very kan cheong coz not seeing me back...ha

thanks to both of them support...
in just few mins i saw han came back d...
wow...i thought not bad that he just behind me few mins...

hes improved alot...
some more told me he beat sheela...haha...kudos to him...
then 4 of us keep taking photos...

chit chatting also saw 1 of my utm fren...hes being ghost runner...
taken prizes and we rush back to kepong as wong need to prepare for warisan run...
overall i quite satisfied with enr performace just only some weakness need to repair...

thinking if i just can maintain such pace to be in top contender of half mara should be any problem...
10 got her 2nd place in women fun run though no placing prizes is awarded...
but much of improvement need to be done to this lazy gal...hehe

anyway thanks her support...
i will always support her geh no matter what happen...;-)
