Races in May,June,July 2016

Perlis Marathon 2016

A race which offer highest cash payout in Malaysia history...
naturally all the elites are joining it...
both i and 10 joining 10km...

due to day before we join Gunung jerai run...
luckily both of us can recover in time...
the route is flat all the way...

and supposedly is a good way to do PB...
my condition is ok which i sustain the early race pace...
its become faded after 3km mark...

5km mark i was doing some 19mins...
which is just a so so performance...
i try very hard to push for the last few km...

managed to overtake 2 guys...
and initially was thinking chances to make it top 10 is out of reach...
yet to my real surprise i make it to this last spot...

well...very very thank god is what i can say...
hope this will spur me do better in future race...

Gunung Jerai Run

Very Long didnt run any race in gunung jerai...
this hill is famous of it long distance route while the gradient wasnt that steep...
10 has her maiden run over here...

all the strategy which told her,she fully utilized it...
and she managed to grab 1st spot...
i was actually in sight of 3rd spot which is fighting with a malay guy...

my strategy of maintaining the pace is quite well covered throughout whole race...
yet a feel of minor cramp over my leg muscle has slowed me down frm sprinting to finishing which is down hill...
and this malay tall guy take the advantage by passing me and got his rm300...

i knew that its not my day which next day i still need to race in perlis run...
so no choice but need to make sure recovery is my priority mission...

Komtar Tower Run

A run which i joined few years in row...
yet podium wise still out of my reached...
just dont know why...

training wise we wasnt really have chance to climb any staircase since staying in terrace house...
hill slope here also scarce...
only having 1 chance of climb up Mengkuang Dam new staircase...

yet after that climb its was close up frm entering which still in construction...
as usual elites frm penang and kedah are coming...
first 1.5km on road they really sprint very fast till i think gap in btw is around 30 secs...
this has make it hard for me to close up to them when in staircase...

this time around i learn frm experience...
though feeling tough on both leg and breathing...
yet i keep pushing...

and managed to maintain top 10 which timing has improved frm previous year...
i cant ask more about it due to lack of training...
10 though slowed down yet was lucky to maintain in top 5...

Strait Quay Ultimate Rope Run

A run which need couple to run together with rope tied to each other...
its organised in my working area...
so i am very familiar with route along here...

trying to push 10 throughout the race though we were back from my ex-colleague wedding dinner in perak which alot of beer been drunk...
think almost 10 cups been inside my stomach...
thank god that i can recover in time and run in the morning...

time wasnt that good for 10 yet she has tried her best...
so its a bonus to both of us...

Chung Ling Chinese Cross Country Run

i joined it almost every year...
which this year i know that my condition wasnt that good...
a change of race strategy definitely a need to cover up this...

hence i was trying to follow a fast forward club veteran run most of time...
its actually help me while he keep on trying to pull away from me...
till to last 4km few runners are catching up both of us...

this is intense...
and the 2 runners who overtook me is same category with me as well...
no choice...in order to help my bm leopard team i try my very hard to follow them...

they actually gt some 10m apart frm me...
till the last 300m my sudden sprint has caught them a surprise...
1 of the cant react in time while another which i wasnt realized that he is chasing was just few steps behind me...

i knew i cant get better 2 of them...
yet my last 1 secs of burst release was cross over by this guy half a body over me...
well...lesson learnt after this...

10 gt her maiden women open champ...
this is very good new to her and her women team has got champ for first time as well...

February 2016

I started my new work in 15th Feb 2016...
life is getting tougher by changing this new environment...
i dunno whether this changes is worthwhile...

but i do sure i need to get some exposure and challenge out there...
races in Penang wasnt many...
thus i can really train on my own and focus on what i need to race...

yet its wasnt as easy of what i talk right now...
imagine i need wake up 6.30am...
rush through Jammed Penang Bridge 7.30am..
reach work place 8.30am...
5.30pm is time whr i really hope to rush back...
yet...
HOD is still in office...
#%%#!@&...
how to go back and reach home by 7pm o...???
basically i cant really reach at per time above...
sky getting dark...
time for training is reduced to around 30mins...
far lesser than my normal 40mins training time in genting treadmill...
so my training programme has become irregular...
Performance sure drop lo...
i really hope all these can get better soon...

then come a small race...
larian perpaduan...
though started well...

but finished in a wrong turn which cost me a place drop...
my penang runners have become better and stronger...
no easy meat to beat them nowaday...

most likely is my condition at this moment...
and they have improved as well...
MSSPP is a very synonym word during my schooling time.i got to represent my penang school council for few times of the national level cross country event which up till today few of the road running elite are the product from this programm...

April 2016 

No race for me in March...
What a boring month...
Now come April...

I must thanks Aunt Moey for being generously assist me in getting this race ticket...
After my birthdate and special proposed date with 10...
so these 2 women have really bring me auspicious lady luck...

The race is initially not in my list of participation...
too expensive...
by paying rm98...

u are getting those crap voucher...
sample of shampoo...
apart from an ultron shirt...

Races route wasnt really marked properly...
no signages,no arrow,no marshals,no street light....
basically u r running like a headless chicken...

God bless that we front packed runner didnt go into Holland road...
thanks to 2nd placing indian chick head identify and guess right the direction...

Then come another race which i missed quite few years...
if not mistaken more than 10 years i missed it...
Nibong Tebal Race...

They have lengthened the race distance...
making it more than 22km...
quite scare of the distance at first...

looking at my training programmed...
which hardly i hit 1hour training workout...
how am i really can perform in this race...

i really doubt my body condition...
i guess pre-race preparation is something that can overcome some 10% of my whole performance...
and it is true that it has really work out for me...

with lil bit of race experience in this half-marathon...
i started the race in quite a slow pace...
get myself to immerse into race pace...

maintain it over till around 18km...
there i come and keep increase my pace for last 3km...
it has really work and i keep pushing till finishing line...

though i wasnt really pulling far a way from 3rd runner but i have getting closer to the champs guy...
what a satisfaction after so long...
work pressure has all taken into my mind toll...

and now i can say getting more and more confident of myself coming back to normal condition...
