It's my 3rd consecutive run and I chose thios run due to inaugural run and nearer to my place. Didn't really aim for timing as I didnt had much long runs. As the race started, it was cold which made me to move faster pace for the 1st 2km. Thereafter, I just maintained the pace to ensure it doesn't go more than 5:30/km.
There were adequate water stations with both water and isotonic drinks. Perhaps, they could have placed it on the road rather than on the pavement, as some water stations were blocked by the cars parked due to cycling competition.
The route has some silent hills which manage to separate the fast runners. I saw only 1 u-turn which was a mental torture for me.
After 7km, i was amost running alone as the front runner was around 300M ahead of me. reaching the last 2km, I saw setia mall, so I thought i was finishing the race. Only then i realised, we had to do a big circle of the complex. I manage to overatjke the 3rd place women open category and sprinted to finishing.
Waited for the lucky draw, but it wasn't my day.
