C-Mart Half Marathon 2019

Find out that need to run 3 loops around this Sungai Petani C-Mart Mall area...
This is a poor planning from the event management...
Can see that they still lack experience on organising the race...
Run through muddy route behind mall area and confusing junction in the shop lot areas...
i didnt think more on that as i knew those front Kenyan are too far to catch up...
Lucky enough to finish within podium placing offered...

Penang Electric & Electronic Run 2019

For the first time trying out the Asics racer shoe..
Outcome turn out to be a poor performance in this 11.2km race...
Not only run a poor time & lost to a guy which i normally can get better...
surely disappointed with this performance...
but this doesnt augur well on my confidence with this shoe...
again my mizuno is getting exhausted yet still cant find a replacement... :-(

Taiping Get Fit Run 2019

Wasn't really match to the top 2 guys who are just too far ahead...
Run alongside with Vadivellu, a top veteran in Msia running community...
Trying to close up with Muniandi in this 15km race...
Glad to be able to finish within top 3...
Nice route & scenery along Taiping town and Lake garden though abit dark when passing through...

Taiwan Trip & YunLin Half Marathon 2019

Travel cum racing as usual...Most of the items for instance, accommodation, transport are all decided in last minute. Hence kinda messy not able to plan the time properly. But we have a fruitful trip which went through some of the famous areas and travel by our own planning is much more convenient.
We used public express buss toward Taichng, Fengchia night market. Thereafter travel down to Yunlin for our half marathon race.This area abit rural which dont really have city bus. Therefore we find a shop to rent bicycle for our race day early morning transport. Day after race we went down to Chiayi which is famous of bypass town to Ali San Mountain. Here is much more developed but sadly not able to enjoy more days here. And our last 4days are actually in Taipei.

Which we went toward Shifen, Qing Tong, Jiufen (a must to go over mountain vacation & market).Most of the Taipei towns night market we went through as well. Ximen ding as usual for tourist. Over in Taipei you may use their city bus, MRT which is convenient as if you want to reach other areas beyond Taipei, we actually consider their TRA, Taiwan Train which is much cheaper compare to bus. Overall this is an unforgettable trip which i hope to visit in near future.

Using U-bike for Taipei town, which is much cheper than MRT & Bus

Penang Chinese Cross Country 2019

This year join without 10, feel something is missing...
Just run as usual and the youngster from Forward club is quite fast...
he keeps on distance himself from me throughout the early stage...
Only manage to catch up with him in last 3km...
Managed to overtake him in last 1.5km...
yet my poor finishing has caused me finished in 3rd ultimately...

Juru 10Km Run

2019 Juru 10Km Run: replace kl race with this as we are lack of that specific training. Run as usual on this industrial road that normally pack with traffic. Lil bit of lost direction inside taman road,lucky able to find out exact route. EeLing Ong though still in her low condition by managing to maintain current pace to finish 2nd placing. Nice medal & trophy dont know comparable to Thai race, ha! Shopping time & looking for next week crucial race. #o2running

MWM & Kuantan Health Run

B2B races for EeLing Ong this weekend. Some 1000km drive along races in 2 location. 

1)Kuantan Health Run: Was amazed that this event attract interest of Kenyan. I wasnt really target anything as there are also few local fast youngster joined further to another guy who I lost few weeks ago. Was glad managed to fence off some of these challenge to finish behind 2 invisible men. Eling has produced a good run to get back her form by finishing first.

2)Malaysia women marathon: As usual both speedy gal joined which wasnt really in eling class to better them. Route wasnt really managed well in last junction. Luckily informed Marshall on this. Overall this event has done some different in term of registration where we can choose not to get the shirt. Other than that quite some hiccup that still need to improve including on saturday bib collection that not in place(only upon request). #o2running

Kellie Castle Run 2019

Kellie Castle Run 2019: First time come over here, fame of its haunted building. But that doesn't stop us from running through surrounding scenery route. As usual 2 of the elites in front of me are hard to catch up. Run alone throughout the race which organizer has done pretty well on all junction marshalling. Glad being able to finish within places offered. EeLing Ong was having some mixed fortune throughout the race. Some weak training program has hampered her performance. Ever since back to Pg, we have been homeless in training ground. Very much thanks to unsporting personnel who restrict us. Though she finished 2nd but time wise to improve. Overall it's a well organized race that one shall enjoy. #o2running

YBC Run in Terengganu

2019 YBC Run: Race fall into 5th day of CNY which quite hard to digest on recent daily fried oily food loaded. Trying to get rid of these heavy stuff though run at such difficult breath condition. Dog fight with local youngster and a veteran uncle who can run 3:50 easily. Though achieve better time compare previous few races but wasn't satisfied with poor finished. EeLing Ong same condition as well and trying her best to maintain podium position. Strategic as usual has brought her to a good finishing. Organizer from Chukai DUN has done pretty well by encouraging local community to engage with various sports activities. Kudos to Yang Berhormat Chukai.
