Penang Hill Climb 2006 Kwong Wah Press
This will be my 4th time joining this event...
Last 3 edition, i was joining half marathon...
Same for this year as well...
The target is to break the 1:23 barrier...
Which my body condition wasn't in best shape at the moment...
My pace was drop to 3:55 which is out of my norm race pace...
Well...i still believe that i can try my best to do something out there...
This time around, i am travelling with Ah Wong, Y.wei & 10 by using small Axia car...
The bed hotel was fully booked by BM leopard team members is our hotel...
Before the race , we have a walk through the town by visting to Nezha temple & 4 Face temple...
Its my belief that whenever we go over to new place for race, we must pay our due respect to the god protector there...
It was such happening that the main road in front of our Hotel is organising the street food festival...
As usual the race start at Jiranakorn Stadium which is well maintained for their rubber track...
Saw few familiar faces from Pg Forward team...
Did not think too much, just want to focus to run well my own pace...
The starting pace was not that fast...
front pack was running at around 3:40 pace i guess...
i'm following 2nd pack which is around 3:55...
Was following a Thai veteran & chinese runner...
Soon after around 11km these 2 runners were out of my sight...
I guess my pace was getting slower which i dont really look at my per KM pace at all...
Started to feel my pace dropping at around 14km mark...
Taken GU gel which i think help me lil bit to maintain the pace...
Was overtaken by another 2 Thai youngster @ around 15km mark...
But managed to catch back 1 of them afterward...
For the last few km, i just trying to hang on...
i knew to break the 1:23 barrier will be kinda hard...
My last km pace wasn't that fast which i have narrowly missed out in 8secs...
by finished @ 1:23:08 with a 2nd place in my category...
Overall is 8th...
Quite satisfied with the outcome but more to improve after this...
10 was great to maintain her overall 1st placing in Women 10km category...
Y.wei first time to join this event was in 1st in his category...
Whilst Ah Wong same category with me was placed 5th...
Kudos to my team members who has done very well in this race...
Love to see this gathering where we all together sharing the best moment since our Kakithon old days...
