aduhai...oh kl maraton 2009

thanx miss jewelz!

early at 3.30 am me, mr abg cha, mr abg ait n my dad was already went out to dataran merdeka...mr abg yan n family reached there at 3.30 am...we managed to get there at 3.50 am...while we were warming up, suddenly it was raining...honestly i was already worried what will happen later on the race...i was hoping that i dont get blister during the race...So the race started at 5.00 am...yup it was still raining while the KL marathon 2009 get started...i started the race with all my bro...mr abg cha was remind us that we were going for 42 km, so 'jgn main2 o'...hehe...

Pranggg...the race started...mr abg yan made his move...followed with mr abg cha...me and mr abg ait was playing safe...we started a bit slow...some how mr abg ait really keep it safe so i went in front...mr abg cha was like 15 m in front of me...mr abg yan already dissapered...after 6 km i was greeted by abg hamid...so we chat a little untill 8 km...he asked me to go first...at 9 km before reached junction at cheras i saw some one...ohhh mr abg yan was in front...i tried to catched him...i touched his back...we were not talking as we both was full concentrate on the race...during that time i was already overtake mr abg cha as he went to toilet at shell near loke yew...

my 1st 10 km was 59 min...i'm not waited too long, i gulp my 1st power gel...after that i went for a drink...gulp2 i proceed my run...my target after that was to reached at chow kit b4 7.00 am which it was at 20 km...so i managed to get there at 1:56 min...i greeted mr zulhassan before left junction heading to kampong baru...later, i gulp my 2nd power gel...my plan was simple, to take power gel every 10 km...while at kampong baru, i meet mr imran...he was suffering stomach ache...pity him...ill make my move to next target...to reached petaling street before 8.00 am...forgot to mention that i was having black nail at 20 km...it was realy mental challenged...damn...luckily i managed to focus on the race...i saw my dad was taking my picture near central market...hehe...emotional moment kejap...nasib baik x nanges hehe :P

i was happy when i saw my timing at 30 km which is at petaling street...i managed to clock 2:56 min at 30 km...last 30 km event was GE where i clocked 3:01 for that distance...however the marathon was just getting started...after 30 km, i suffered 1st hill near to petaling street...both calf was showing a bad sign...i was still run at really slow pace eventhough it already cramp...i was thinking that if i walk than after a few km for sure i will walk again untill reached the finishing line...after that hill, my calf recover for a while...i'll proceed my run untill 33 km which at Dewan Bahasa n Pustaka...before second hill after passed DBP, i noticed that it will be a lot of climbing in front...from 33 until 39 km it was like up and down hill...Jalan mahameru was really torturing...i can see a lot of runners started to walked as it was 'hit the wall' moment for them...

inside my mind, i remember my dad said that, dont walk but slow jog...my pace started to reduce...i was already dehydrated at km 38 while climbing hill before reached jkr...however, water station there was already out of water...damn! i was like maki hamun kejap...orang nk mampos air plak takde...SC Kl marathon jauh beza dgn SC Singapore marathon...organizer should go there to see how well the management...lucky for me, at 40 km got last water station...i take 2 cup of 100 +...fuhhhh fell a bit better just 4 a while...i saw my timing at 40 km was 3:57 min...but that last 2.195 km was really challenging....damn it...i was like wanted to fell on the road while make u turn because of the strong wind...for sure my legs already kong...
