LYN Runners: SCKLM 2012

Early 2012 Hong Kong Standard Chartered has held on 5 February 2012 (Sunday), few of my runner buddies from Malaysia fly to HK for this remarkable race. Mean while top scandal celebrity Edison Chen join his second run after HK nike run 11. Unbelievable Edison completed the 42.19km race in 3 hours, 55 minutes and 4, and he shock the running world. Unfortunately he been disqualifying from the race due he exchange his bib with his friend, due he dislike the number.(NEVER EVER exchange your bib if u are a high profile or fast runner). So I took his time for my target that is 3:55:04, seen hard rite??
In this period alot 30k LSD has been done from 3:20 for 30k become 2:50 and in the middle finished ENR12 night race in 4:39 that cramp at last part.

The week has come, race kit collection this year at dataran too, different from last year at bukit jalil. That u can had air-corn while collecting, downside for this is lack of parking.

Goodies inside racekit.

0-10k

Before starting, every1 is exciting and talking how to get famous in a second alot crazy idea came out. Once the gun shoot, the game is on. For this run, i just aim for 4hrs so i keep chase the 4hr pacer that 100-150m infront of me with cikgu beside me. Once pass KL sentral, Kevin Ngan appear beside me with his GF and told me "today i run slow, i need accompany my GF". Finally i able to catch 4hr pace at Mid Valley and suddenly it start raining, that moment really WTF. Every1 slow down and keep their phone inside their plastic bag, lucky this run i never bring any gadget. At 8km i able to catch up cikgu due he go to toilet break, but he over took me again at 9km.

11-20k

After get overtook by cikgu,at 11km i saw Jeff running slow on the left side, i also feel weird how come he slow at there. So i shout "sub 3:50?? go faster la!!". at 13km i catch up "SUPERMAN" a guy that dress up like a superman with a red cape behind. After 13km i unable to see any cikgu shadow, so i keep running with the pacer. 19km catch up Joshua Lin another LYN runner member.

21-30k

Finish 21k around 1hr 55min, that the moment i took my 1st power gel. Alot runner that over took me at 1st 20km starting to slow down and let me catch up. Not much thing happen till 23km i saw YK admire "JESSICA" infront of me and it took me 2km to over took her. Without warning a guy with green lime vest from Sg running beside me and told me"come let`s do together" so i follow him. At 27km i able overtake cikgu again and Muniandy(bukit jalil runner),continue run with the SG runner.

31-42k

At 32km i had to stop awhile to put some pendoskin to my leg, cause i can feel the pain start kicking in. That just a early prevention, and 2 4hr pacer just go away like that left 1 behind me. I keep told my self not to drop behind the last 4hr pacer, if not i will "GG.com". Unable to catch up 2 pacer infront, so i run with 2 SG runner, and 1 Malaysian. Sun starting to come out, and the SG runner start singing "the sun comes down the stars come out - the wanted" so i also join the singing with 5.30min pace. Slowly i leave him behind till 35km a runner suffering a bad cramp and stand in the middle of the road, so i pass him my last pendoskin. Keep on running till 36-37km where CC Choi set booth at there and shout SUB4!! at me, at 37km there uphill my leg starting feel the power of bukit tungku. Kevin Ngan catch me up and giving me motivation words, but my leg is too pain to continue. So i walk all the way up the hill and YK admire "JESSICA" caught me at the hill part, just able to see her pass me. Once i reach the last top hill i start ran rollercoster down the hill at 40km following by the U-turn, and just 200m behind the last 4hr pacer is catching up. Without wasting time i starting pick up reach the last 2 straight stretch, at that moment an aunty that run with me since start over take me and shout at me "come on young man SUB 4!!!" but im too tired to pick up my speed. After last U-turn another girl that run with me since start over take me and shout same thing "SUB4 Come on!!!". So i just let them go and slowly run to the finisher line, after bump with Ryan lee and Hong Lan Tan.
