Miri Marathon 2025

 First time in Miri town...

Love the area where hotel & race venue is so close to each other...

Airport also not far away from town...


Bib collection kinda long queue in Pullman hotel...

But the speed is manageable by the organiser...

Quite some booths surround the bib collection area...


We went to the waterfront for same seaview photo session...

Taking some vegeterian food with William...

My hm start at 2am...


Can see 2 familiar elite faces from KL...

Quite hard to beat them...

My target this time around is to beat my previous PB time in PBIM...


From the starting,i just speed up as usual with my almost 10k pace...

Not really able to see those few fast guys at front...

Trying to catch the 4th guy from 3km on ward...


Quite fast his pace & keep maintaining...

Close up with him @12km...

Thereafter i just overtake him & never turn back...


Keep maintaining my target 3:45 pace...

But due to uncertain last few km...

My pace was dropping...


Till last km,saw that signboard turn right which is going back town...

From there i speed up further to the finishing line...

Managed with my 1:21 time this round...


4th placing in men open...

A bit dissapoint not able to go up podium stage...

But its a consolation for me in this PB time...


Will try my best for next race...

Nothing is impossible...

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2024

Have been joining this event since secondary school...

Its a yearly event that one should not missed out...

Whilst this year i didnt put much target for my half marathon race...


Training still continue after Kuching Marathon...

I knew that with my current performance,theres chance to beating my PB time...

This time race venue has changed to 2md bridge & start near Ikea Batu Kawan here...


Its actually much better compare previous edition which held in Queensbay mall...

Race started...

I just execute my typical strategic by following those front pack...


To the half way of bridge,i have managed to close up the fast elite runner...

Taken the chance to overtake them...

For the 2nd half,i've just pull further from them...


Can feel the prowess of both leg...

Completing this gruelling 21.1k in 1hour21min28secs...

What a PB race for me! Really happy for that...


Checked on the result,i was placed 9th for national category...

A consolation for my PB...

Really happy for 10 managed to improve 1 more rung by getting 2nd in Women National category!

In fact its a PB for her Half as well...

Overall this is a great race with all the planned ammenities...

Plus point will be organisers foc high reso photo ;-)
