The anticipated GE3okm finally is here. Had to wake up early at4.45am anyway could not sleep for the whole nite not b'cos of excitement but rather very fresh and alert. Reached Bukit Aman car park at 5.30am sharp but the parking space mostly filled up and fortunately found one space and just ahead of Chen Fong Fong otherwise he would have parked his car.
Estimated about 950 participants but turn up for the run about 800 and those who did the 30km about 500. Not bad for such an inagural event. The 30km started at 6.00am and the 20km starts 30 minutes later as announced by our none other Mr Wan Yew Leong the event advisor. I was mingling around with good friends people like Kelvin, Alden ,Jamie, Dinish , Ronnie and Rohaizad. This is not a competition fun for me so I take it easy and stay behind and take my very own sweet time as the gun flag off the run.
I think this is my slowest run ever and I think my pace was 6 minutes per km. I did not bother to check my time and reaching the 6km mark coach Mr Chan said I was running at 6minutes per km and I saw my time 36minutes. My intention of this run was to complete the distance and gauge my strenght and endurance cos I have not done any 30km yet and I failed to run 30km last Sunday. I was delighted to cross the finishing line and my condition my good. I am now more confident to do more similiar distances in time to come.
