at that time we are all still studying in UTM...
and Kakithon was set up not long ago...
with our running passion and hard work we travel all the way down south to spore...
at that time our rookie team just run as fast possible without thinking further...
our reward was a podium finish!
that has trigger on our kakithon team journey since then...
now 10 years back...
kakithon team go for 3rd time to join this race...
As most of kakithoners been working in different areas...
to get back all of them to form the team is much more difficult as compare university's time...
this time around 4 of us decide to join no matter how far we separate to each other...
even as far that back in Penang, we dont see that its an issue...
the Kakithon spirit is where we shoulder each other for this prestige team race...
as i still have to work half day on saturday thus only can travel by flight late evening...
compare to last year, this year organiser has managed to divide race category well in differ time zone...
which u wont see so pack of crowd...
but as usual for our 10km category, all the runner been in front of gate 1hour early...
and we were kept by the starting point that have no choice but to sit down for some rest...
can see quite alot of elites runner around, among are singapore shuffler and track start team...
race start at 10pm that everyone push to their limit to go fast as usual...
my first few K strategic of follow front pack runners was effective...
i knew that current body condition wasnt at its peak...
but if i keep on this pace that's surely no reason i cant get to run a good time...
the first 5k time i achieve was quite consistent that i only need to maintain last 5k in same pace...
this will definately help to ensure my target pace of 3:45...
the route distance was 10.7km...
on last few km i've seen the eye of singapore which i knew that finishing is closing...
without thinking much i throttle all the way in last 1km...
to my surprise i managed to surpass target pace...
this is best pace i can achieve after last few dismay race performance...
and to my surprise i just wait yien wei in some less than 1 min and he reached!...
then come ah wong in short while...
this is surely a good performance for the whole team...
then come 10 in women second group...
we are glad that all 4 of us has done a decent time for the race...
even y.wei was really happy for his PB this time...
a well reward of his hard work train effort ...
we waited anxiously for the results which havent announce for some time...
and our long wait been over that been announced as 3rd prize winner...
thats really a big surprise for us...
as we knew that top 2 team is quite impossible to catch up looking at their members timing...
really thanks god for bring back the kakithon glory in this land of wealth...
the journey doesnt stop here but will continue...
