When Powerman is postponed to November, it's time to focus on IronMan.
Hope, my maiden triathlon will happen soon.

KL City Half Marathon 2020
Completed 21km today at KL city half marathon despite worrying about COVID-19.
This race has been upgraded from FT Day run to KL City Half marathon.
As I was mentally not prepared for the race, I just treated it as another Long Run.
The race was within heart of city, covering, majid india, sultan ismail, chow kit but the real killer started from kuching where we redirected to bank Negara through a slope followed by usual bukit tunku hill and wisma tani hill. This made the race to be 1 of my toughest HM that I have participated.
I was glad to finish the race with timing of 1:56, still sub 2, without much of long distance training.
The entire route had distance marker and adequate water stations, except for the hills. Unfortunately, there were no power gell or banana.
This year marks my 20th year into road race and this was the 1st ever road race that I took part in year 2001 and the rest was history..

POWERMAN 2019
It has been 8 years since I achieved personal best in a event and it ended today.
I managed to shave off 40 seconds to achieve 2 hours 19minutes and seconds in my 2nd ever Powerman today with distance of 5km run, 30km bike and 5km run.
Zero training for running practice for 3 weeks and 2 weeks without bike training definitely would have dented my hopes to achieve my goal. But wuth a matter of self confidence and never say die attitude, things just happen on its own.
While the 1st 5km was less humid, the suffering started in the cycling where the route was changed and it became more dangerous with sharp u-turn and rocky trunk road.
Half way through the sun was scorching on my head and i was keep refueling myself. Coming to 2nd running leg, i manage to flex my muscles to overtake many runners and improve my pace.
This time, went with my son to collect the race kit and park my bicycle at transition area. Atleast, its a method to boost him to get into sports.
Time to get good timing for other events too.

KL New year run 2019
It's the first run for the year. My aim was to do around 60mins as I didn't had much sleep the day before.
One my running friend, Devi wanted me to pace her. Thus I just followed her, as it also meet my target of completing in 60 minutes.
The race had different route this year, which covers, ok tower, sultan ismail, many junction etc.
The first 5km was rather flat and it was cooling. Came the next 5km, where u turn into bank Negara, the torture starts, where the route was hilly.
It was good to see 3 water stations with adequate distance signages. Furthermore, after the race, they gave ice cream and bun, apart from the usual water and isotonic drinks.
Now, need to gear up for Powerman Putrajaya next month.

The Great Run series
Date: 6 August 2017
Time : 6:30am
Venue : Setia City Convention Centre
Distance: 15km
Timing 1:18.03
Position : 9th
Shoe : Karrimor Duma 2
Shorts : Puma
vest : Asics
Socks : 2xU
Specks : Rudy project (Grey lense)
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.
