New Balance Run 2009

New Balance Pacesetters 15km Run 2009 was held at Tasik Perdana Lake Gardens 7am this morning.

There is only 15km category, no other option available, the entry fee of RM45 for this event also not cheap.

However, I get a damn good quality running vest.

The running vest is perfect. I didn′t expect to get such a good qualify running vest from New Balance.

I was a bit late to reach Lake Garden this morning. Thanks to the timing clip system, my time only start count when the timing clip on my shoes crosses the starting line, it is nice that I having a fair timing count.

Race start!

I think I am rushing too fast in the first few km, I was like rushing to cross all the people in front of me, but I know it is impossible.

I finally notice my mistake when I saw a "4km" sign board along the road. "Crap, I had use off all my energy on my first 4km run, how am I going to continue my remaining 11km?"

So, the remaining 11km was a night mate for me, I keep my mind strong to not stop running, I don′t want to become a LEAVER. Distance from 4km to 10km is terrible for me.

Luckily I still manage to finish it & get the finisher medal.

The finisher medal is a New Balance shoes. Not bad for the creative design.

Looking forward my next run - 28 June 2009 Standard Chartered KL Full Marathon (42.195km). Hopefully I won′t make the same mistake again.
