Half-marathon dayy

IIR Log
4.45a.m. - Woke up, brush teeth,bath
5.00 - Ate two energy bars and 500ml of fluid.
5.15 - Depart to Stadium
5.30 - Arrive at reporting booth

start warming up after getting wristband. Saw a few kenyans, africans and thais warming up on the track already.

6.00 - More people arrived
and more more more....

6.30 - Lim,Carson(and his cousin) found me. Waited to be released to the starting line

6.48 - Released to the starting line. Stood on the 2nd line and next to the kenyans.

around 7 - START race !

0-9km - started well and pace well maintained.

10 km - reached Gunung Rapat area. Everything in order.

11 km - 1hr 01 minute
pace still maintained without any pains

14 km - pace starting to drop
around STAR school

around Jusco - Slowing down desperate ankle and knee tendon starting to swell

16 km - JPJ(towards KG.Simee) Knee tendons of both legs started to cramp. Luckily there was medic assisstance on duty at the area. Applied some Flanil and continue with very slow jog.

Didn't manage to jog far as the cramp started again. Started walking .... =X
since everyone around me were walking also.

17 km Ipoh Garden/Canning Garden - Walkkkk ! While walking starting to chat with some other runners. All of them are suffering pains on their legs.

18km to Finishing Line - The last phrase took me 25minutes+(approx. I'm not sure) to finish. That means it's freaking slow and the feeling is like walking towards hell.

After Finishing line - Took my cert and immediately to medic camp with both legs cramp.
After 5minutes in the camp then only went to food court to find my friends.

Total time taken was 2hr 45minutes(approx.) don't laugh at my timing this is my first time participating in half-marathon.

Just to tell you guys that 21km is much more fun than 10km. Believe it =)

2 more days to iir

Monday - School assembly was quite long cos of the prize giving for those who prizes which been left out from the speech day
.
After 5 years in the school co curriculum , this what i get
1. A full colour Cert(can be DIY printing of it)

Tue-Wed - nothing much

Thursday - took IIR Tee and number. Waited pretty long even category A. Pity to those 5KM and 7KM coz the queue is freaking long.


Friday - Open day =( . Parents came to collect my results about 10.40+am. After they left the teacher's room, my mother started to 'goreng' me already .

torn running shoe !!!

my running shoe !! is torn. bloody sole starting to peel apart from the shoe. 12 days to IIR already, COME on shoe please retire after IIR(not now) i NEED you for my 21km run.

a pic of my shoe(taken a few months ago)


Well after hundreds of kilometer with this shoe I think that it's time for the shoe's retirement because both side of the sole is peeling off. Luckily i glued it back together but i bet it can only last a few more weeks before it peels again. =(

Probably my next shoe will be Adidas(again ?) no doubt it's more lasting than Nike. I might get a pair from Brooks but depends on my budget and the shoe's price.
Any recommendation of running shoes, feel free to tell me =DD

maybe a pair of adidas microbounce ???? or adizero cs ? SPONSER ME !!!!!
