SHAPE Run - 11 April'15

This is my 3rd run for the year. Again it's a night affair and happens at Putrajaya.

I had to rush from Taylors University from my division contest. From a tip top corporate attire to stunning athletics attire.

As I reached there, I changed and did some warm up. Around 7.15pm, the cloud became dark ad started to rain like cats and dogs. I was hiding under the stall. The organizers were in questioning mind, whether to continue or not. As the lightning wad bad, the organisors said, they would cancel the event, should it stay till 8.30pm.

Around 8.15pm, the rain stopped and the organiser decided to flag off at 8.45pm. The weather was cooler than usual. I was at the 2nd row. When the race started. It was a fast run. Had to maintain my momentum to be placed in top 50.

At 3rdkm, had a bit of pain in the chest. I stopped for 20seconds, for my usual break, then my pain subsided. Thereafter, I didnt allow anyone to overtake me and I overtook whomever that overtook me during the break.

I saw Jessica towards the last 2 km and followed her and overtook her for last 500M. The route was boring for 7 to 9km till I could see the buildings of government complex.

When I came back, I had dinner, showered then, just fall flat on my bed. I'm happy with my timing of 51:53 for 11km at 28 placing.
