Subang Jaya 10KM Run

Woke up at 0500hrs, picked up wildchild, Mo & Mutiara at 0615hrs. It was raining, and very discouraging. But thank goodness, the rain stopped when we reached Subang, and it made the weather cooling.

It's a perfect weather to run.

At the Stadium...
Once we reached MPSJ Stadium, we head out to look for the rest of the gang, and reporting in. On my way to the reporting camp, I bumped into Zorocaster again, and we took another picture together. LOL~



At starting point...
T minus 10 mins, we were called out to the starting point, which is outside one of the entrance of MPSJ Stadium.


While we were waiting, I took this...

LOL~

and the race began at 0730hrs. I didn't take much photos this time, as I was turned off with the event (read below), anyway, I still completed the run as a sportsman.

My time was 1 Hr 28 mins. There's a slight improvement. GANBATTE!!! ^0^

Who won?
Scratch below to find out...



My thoughts
This event sux, IMO.

The safety measures were not properly carried out at all. There were no proper trails or reserved lane for the participants. I've seen multiple times, parcipants were tailed by cars behind, or 1 feet away from speeding cars besided them.



Besides that, there were no medics throught out the whole track, and no water stations in between. However, I was told by my other experienced runner friends, that normally 10KM doesn't have any water stations, Siemens' 10KM Run is exceptional.

I don't think I'll ever participate any runs organised by the same organiser(s) or this track.

Adidas King of Road 2007 - I DID 10KM!!!

I DID IT AGAIN!!! My record for this run is 1Hr48Mins for 10KM. I'm sure I can do better next time, if I train hard enough~lah.

Anyway, I was there not to run... but to take pictures. LOL~

and here's the story.

- - - - - - -

I got up at 0445hrs, reached Rodney's place by 0545hrs. Then Jack came. About 0615hrs, WaiOnn's came with his usual just woke up winding mood (LOL~ chill, buddy!). We all hoped on to his car and headed to Sunway.


Finally reached Sunway around 0630hrs, we were told roads were closed, so we parked at the residential area and walked. Got our offical jersey from Mel (and thanks for looking after for everyone's bags).




T Minus 5mins, before the race...

The 21KM race started at 0645hrs, we went in after that. There were so many people there, and yet I manage to bump into zorocaster. What a conincident. LOL~

At 0700hrs, the 10KM race horn goes off, and here we go...


at 1KM

Due to lack of training, after 10mins, my engine died off... LOL~ and I proceed with my primary objective - i.e. document down this journey.


at 2KM

After about 30 mins the race started (for 10KM), people were shouting and cheering, 2 African runners were returning. THIS IS MADNESS!!! LOL~ They are real running machines! GO!GO!GO!


at 3KM

It's sunrise, it was so beautiful, I stopped and snap it. Then I spotted zorocaster returning... WTH?!?!? THIS IS ANOTHER MADNESS!!! LOL~ Well done, zoro!


at 5KM

One uncle, out of no where, got on to the track and running with the rest of the participants. He was carrying 2 huge bags summore. REAL CHAMPION... LOL~


at 6KM



at 8KM



at 9KM

There was an incident right before 9KM ended. I'm not sure what's going on exactly. A car stopped by, one huge Indian man stepped out the car, started talking to a young police officer, while the driver remained inside. The next thing, the officer stepped back, unbuttoned his holster, ask the fella to stay put with a warning. The guy didn't listen and looked a bit hostile, immediately, the officer radioed out "Bantuan! Bantuan!" (Assistance! Assistance!).

Two officers came over from the other lane. The young officer was shouting "Tangkap dia! Tangkap dia!" (Arrest him! Arrest him!). The big Indian guy went back inside the car, and they went off.

What a drama! phew~


at 10KM



Finish line

After crossing the finish line, everyone went to que up for drinks - Milo Ais & 100Plus. The crowds were quite discipline and polite, til some noobs, cut ques. Some even worse, walked straight right to the counter, ignored everyone, grabbed and walked off. SHAME ON YOU, UNCLES!!! Yes, there were a few rude senior participants.

I didn't complete the race within 50mins, i.e the qualifying time, therefore no medal for me. But it's ok, it was a well organised event, me and my friends had fun!

GOOD JOB, organisers! Thank YOU, GOD for providing a nice weather for us. Thank you, Mo for collecting the jerseys for everyone. Thank you, WaiOnn for the ride. Thank you, Mel for looking after everyone's bags. Thank you, everyone for this fun+good run!

OH! I nearly forgot, there were some rewards/harvest for me after all:
01) a good+nice adidas runny jersey - cost RM59.90 (got it for RM15, comes with the registrations);
02) a good old traditional thai foot massage;

^0^

King of Road 2007

I didn't know about this event, til Zorocaster mentioned it to me.

And later I found out, my group of friends from work are joining too. So here we go!!!

woooOOTTT!!!

In fact, I joined the Siemens 10km run 2 years ago. It was a good experience. Tough... but fun! I did it with a group of friends too.

So I'm sure, this will be fun too. Besides, I'll be running and playing MKDS with Zorocaster on the NPE highway!

What are you waiting for? Grab the form from here, and submit it by 21 July 2007.

IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING.
