I was initially aiming to do below 4 hours (not PB) for this event. I was feeling it good as I did 4:09 in Kuching and had mindset could make it better for this run.
Then came the disaster of haze, where it disrupted my training especially on the long runs. Especially, when i really wanted to go long on Malaysia Day and Hari Raya Haji, I merely ran only 10km.
Was really hoping for the event to be postponed. Then the announcement came on Friday (2 Oct) that organisers will proceed with the run. When I woke up next day, I could already smell the smoke outside my room. The reading at 11am was already 121. I was constantly checking for Facebook, if there's any announcement from the organisers.
Of course a lot of runners showed the felling on the Facebook too, but I was waiting for the answer from the horse's mouth. At 5pm the announcement came that the event is cancelled.
Feel relieved that I didn't had to make myself suffer with haze. On other side, it's always a sentimental race for me, since I did my personal best here.
Today, I went and collected the medal half heartedly with finisher shirt.
I'm not sure on next run for the year, as I have yet to register for any.
Hopefully I can run next year's edition.
