This is another race that having distance marker on every km, great organize.

I start the race with 4:35/km pace on the first distance marker. I try to follow my heart to run this time, not much care about my pace.

First 3km was pacing with a white shirt Malay guy, he see me having a serious fight with him, he then tell me he is doing illegal run, no bib on his shirt.

After 4km, the white shirt guy is leave behind. I then maintain my pace until 6km and see my second target, a green shirt Malay guy call Khairulakman.

I keep following Khairulakman from 6km till 9km. I get closer to him on up hill route, but my gap with him always get far on down hill route. Finally on the last km, I manage to overtake him, but it only last for a while. He stay strong and give me great fight until the last 500m, he suddenly tell me he is in veteran category, we are not required to fight so hard.

But I need to thanks Khairulakman for bringing me back in strong pace also. If he is not there, I would have slow down at early stage.

I try not to set any target pace for myself in this race as I didn't do any speed workout for the last 4 weeks.

When reach the first 1km distance marker saw my pace is 4:22/km, is a good start, so I then decide to maintain 4:30/km pace as far as I can.

I manage to keep myself focus on maintaining this pace until 6th km, then I decide not to continue anymore as I might start walking at anytime if I didn't slow down.

For the remaining 6km, I follow my heart to run, I try to motivate myself not to walk as Angel Tang might overtake me at anytime if I do so.

In the end, I manage to cross the finishing line with a smile, have a great race.

Thank you my teammates give me the opportunity to run with them.

I'm running the 4th leg, which is a 2km flat + 2km up hill route. I drop my baton when 3rd leg passing it to me, due to an accident. Luckily is not major, I faster pick up the baton again to start my run.

First 2km flat road I try to follow my heart to run. Until the up hill I start to slow down, unable to keep up my pace. This is where an Indian runner cross me, make my team overall position drop from 3rd to 4th.

As the up hill route is quite long, I almost lost my focus to keep running, thinking to walk instead. But I know it very well, no matter how hard it is, if I choose to walk for my team, I'm gonna be very dead.

Suddenly I hear my teammate call my name from far, then I realize the 5th station is near. I try my best to pass the baton to 5th leg, and my tough run is finally over.
