KEC Unity Run 2013 - 10Km @ Klang

Endomondo Running Workout: was out running 9.52 km in 1h:10m:30s using Endomondo.

Date : 17-March-2013
KEC Unity Run happening on it 3rd times in 2013, and this is my first times for this route.
The actual distance is 9.5Km measure using the gps watch.
The starting is easy run, and the road is flat, while come to the 7Km and 10Km split, which need to go uphill, and downhill and U turn, still manageable.

This is a rather small event, and therefore no timing chip, you have to time yourself.

Overall, this is a easy route compare to the padang merbok.

Brooks Half Marathon 2013 - 21Km @ Bukit Jalil

Endomondo Running Workout: was out running 17.43 km in 2h:31m:29s using Endomondo.

This run really good experience. It is a half marathon, and due to the GPS watch having battery issue, and manage to record up to 17.43km only. I miss 2012 event, and managed to make it this year.
This is the worst route I ever did for the half marathon, and there are up hill, and up hill, and long up hill.

Actual chip time is 3 hours 11 minutes as records by the event management.

This year there is no medal. the event give out the trophy, and for those on 21Km, there was Finisher Tee as well.

This is my first time joining only Cycling event, and OCBC is the most anticipated cycling event in Malaysia. Back in 2011, the event held in mid Oct, while everyone expect the same event happen in Oct 2012. Unfortunately, it does not happened, and at last postponed to Jan 2013.

The route was good, from KLCC to Jalan Raja Chulan, Dataran Merdeka, Parliament, Bukit Tunku, PWTC, Jalan Kuching, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan TAR, Jalan Dang Wangi, Jalan Ampang back to KLCC.

There are few uphill challenges, from Jalan P. Ramli to Jalan Raja Chulan. Dataran Merdeka to Parliament, Bukit Tunku.

Endomondo Running Workout: was out running 11.80 km in 1h:29m:51s using Endomondo.

This is the 1st running event in 2013, and this is my second times running, and I did it with better timing this round. Some minor changes compare to last year round to make the route close to 12Km.

Malakoff KL Run 2012 - 12Km @ Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Resort

Completed 11.63Km in 1h:30m:44s.
Date : 16-Dec-2012

This is my second times on Malakoff KL Run, last year wasn't a good one, and this year is consider better. 15 minutes before start, wanted go toilet, and as usual, it was full, and there were only 4 mobile toilet near the starting line, and few at the back, and few more at another car park. There was free "half" power bar for the runner, and after consumed, we should have more water. 
So, l'm looking for toilet along the run, and run into the SHELL petrol kiosk, no luck, as there is someone doing bigger business, and no choice, pee at the "longkang" ....

Overall, the first hill consider not too bad, since it is just starting, and the hill near the SHELL and the hill near the 2nd loop not easy.

APBIM 2012 - 21Km @ Penang Bridge

Completed 21.30Km in 2h:54m:18s.

Date : 18-Dec-2012

This was my second times on Penang Bridge, while last year was the 10Km run. Starting few Km are good, while the weather are hot, and I was sweat a lot during the run. Still unable to achieve the personal best for the 21Km, and hope next year on the new second bridge I will join the 42Km run instead.

Rank : 2298/5705

Powerman 2012 - 11.4Km @ Putrajaya

Completed 11.4Km at Putrajaya in 1:34.:56.

First time joining Powerman Duathlon, I'm joining the relay which Manual Chu run 11.4Km, started at 7:10am, while coming back around 8:40am, then Calvin Tan cycled 64Km, coming back around 11:15am, then I run for another 11.4Km, finished the whole race at 12:45pm.

This time I'm using the Garmin 210 to track my running, and the accuracy should be almost 99% as compare to the Android Endomondo.

The lining up on the elite run at Putrajaya, there are so many Elite Duathlon while little Relay.

The challenging was during the transition, you can't run or cycle while on transition area. There was also timing chip, and the race bib which we need to pass to the each other once we completed our course.

The learning must have a good running belt to hold bib which we can easily pass to each other.
Next year, we will plan to join the Spirit category which run for 5.5Km, cycle 32Km, and run another 5.5Km.
