Sun, March 11, 2007

It a kinda of new run for the Slow Movers as it would be in a tunnel. As usual the regulars and three new
members turned up for the carnival. It's a 13.5 km Run and 75th annivesary for Jabatan Pengairan and Saliran. As usual the race started at about 7.30 am , officiate by the Minister. Ran about 1 km on the road, entered the Smart Tunnel and ran 6 km two way fro and finally 0.5 km on the road before reaching the finishing line. Never thought I could be one of the medalist compare to the number of competitors.....lamai mali loh...hampir 1500 olang..utk men open category shj. Finished the race in about 1:12:43.

Su was also one of the medalist in the women open. She,Makcik,Abang,Kakak,Azhar,Zahir and the other members ran basically in a desert like environment as there were no water at the water stations..OH boy......bayangkanlah...13,5 km without a sip of H2O....apa dah jadi....poor mgmt?. I met them after the race...semuanya letih nak mampus....nak bangun ambik gambar pun..tak larat..siot....Lepak sekejap....N ...Adios.

Next run would be the Kuala Lumpur International Run..(KLIM) on the 18th March 2007..

UM- Larian Gemilang Rakan Muda - 9-10 K

Sun, March 04, 2007

A run which The Slow Movers got to know in last minute N most of us were undecided
as it was to close to the Smart Run. Myself too wasn't sure of going..till my alarm rang at 5.00 am.
Woke up....felt OK..so pegi ajalah.... Reached at 6.00 am ..registered....tapi menyesal ..Y?

The Run only started at about 8.45 am....dah pane siut...macam -camlah ..speech by A,B,C..lagu x.y.z ..etc
Lari 2 km saja ..tekak dah kering...Dah tada mood.... I think it wasn't 10 km cos I manage to finish it in 50 mins...Medals were given to top 40 runners...N guess what ..I got NO 41...Sayang satu kali sayang..just missed by seconds... takpe..menang..kalah..bisa saja pak..it's all apart of the game...

Collected the goodies and the Cert N left at about 11.00 am. Byeeeeeee. Next would B the Smart Tunnel run. C U there... VIVA Slow Movers!!!
