+King Of The Road - Run of my Life!+
KOTR 2008 - Dramatic Nose bleeding & completed 10km run under 60 mins!
I am happy I finish the 10km run, the weather was perfect and nice! My big achievement for 2008....is my run of my life!
- Firstly, I am happy that I completed my run under 60 mins (57 mins). Way beyond my target which I set to complete within1hr 3omins.
- I dunno where all my energy came from cause the day before, played 2 hrs of badminton. Leg and hand itchy and did not rest all.
I am happy I finish the 10km run, the weather was perfect and nice! My big achievement for 2008....is my run of my life!
- 4.30am, woke up and prepare light breakfast for myself.
- 5.10am, before leaving my house to meet up with Vic and Alvin, decided to do last big business (pooh). Suddenly felt like water dripping out from my nose.
- Thought it was a normal flu but when took tissue to wipe it off, it is BLOOD. Damn it, my nose bleeding. Thanks to myself cause of whacking durians for the last past two nights.
- Quickly stuff tissue into my nose to block the bleeding and lie down on sofa for 5 mins.
- Thank God, my nose bleeding stopped.
- 5.30am, leave my house to Dataran Shah Alam.
- 5.55am, arrived the starting point and do some light warm-up.
Over 1000k kcal burned off for 10km...Top left pic: For guys, you have the extra energy to run cause u got 'motivation' to run and go beyond your limit!
- 10km race category started earlier at 7.05am...officiate by the Menteri Besar Selangor.
- When the race started, everyone run and pass me very fast....fine, i am running at my own pace and conserve my energy.
- I am at the mid pack of the runners till bout 4km after the first drinking station, manage to continue running and chase up the front runners.
- Did my rest walk stop at 8km (Pasar Seksyen 6)....and continue running for my life at the end of the 2km.
- This is how I able to complete my race under 60 minutes....a big achievement for me thou I did not able to make it within the qualification time which is 50 minutes.
- After the run, we went down to USJ for breakfast and reach home bout 11am.
- My Summary:-
1. Do not eat durian late night if you don't want your nose to get bleed.
2. Run at your own pace. Don't sprint or chase.
3. Sometimes feel demotivated when u see female runners overtake you and in front of you. Yes, there are females finish ahead of me and really respect them!
Johny's Medal - Half Marathon Finisher
- Congrats to Johny who completed his first half marathon (22.7km) run.
- Don't think I able ready to join the 22.7km run.
Nice medal made from Pewter....Congrats to Johny...he is the one who introduce me this run. Now I am addicted to it and will joined the next 10km run at Padang Merbok, KL.

hu hu, you finish the 10k in 57min. I finish it with 55:05Min. 2 minute faster than you lu. Since you did not get a medal, and the medal giving out in our category is 300 piece, more or less it means that i am in 200+ position. Walao e, I'm so behind others.
Nice blog here, will often come le.
