MHWH Run - 21 March




It's my 2nd run for the year.

didn't really target much. Just a below 1 hour mark was my target and I achieved it.

As I had to rush from Sunway, I left the place at 6pm and I thought I would reach by 6.45pm. Agony started half way when it rained. I was waiting at the Caltex station for 1 hour, but the rained didnt stop.

So I went to counter to get a redbull, but the system was down. That increased my stress. I quickly wear my rain coat and rushed to Putrajaya.

After Putra heights, the rain stopped. I manage to reach the place at 7.45pm. Then changed and went to starting lane. The queue was 200M. I had to squeeze between the runners. Luckily I saw Albert Tan, my former teamate in UM. So I followed him and we were at 6th row.

I didnt had time to strech or warm up, due to lateness.

As the race started, I was on good pace. I had to clear the slow runners and overtook them. Tried to follow the veteran champion, Susan, but she was faster towards the last 6km. As usual, I stopped for pit stop for 20seconds. That allowed atleast 10 runners to overtake me.

Nevertheless, I overtook them back. The distance marker looks a bit inaccurate. Anyway, it was good atleast, there were markers at every 3km. Water station was also there at every 3km.

Towards last 2km, I saw jessica. She overtook me, then I overtook her towards the last 1km. As usual, Putrajaya is known for the flyover. Towards the last 3km, it was just straight road, which made things boring.

When I reached last 500M, i tried to overtake the guy in front of me, but I just didn't had the endurace to push and settled at my place.

Next run is at the same place, Shape Run on April 11.
