My last race in year 2017, and there are few surprises in this race.
Before the race start, Alwin Tan & Teck Wai already said this race not much people joining, try your best, will have chance to podium. I didn’t put much hope on it mostly due to my weekly training mileages for the past few weeks had dropped from 48km per week to 40km per week. I didn’t have much confident I can go faster or even maintain the pace I ran in my last race (Putrajaya Night Half Marathon) which is 5:25/km.
But the surprise is, I complete the race with a 5:12/km pace & get a “Potential Winner” card. Even after I get the card, I still didn’t feel confident that I’m in top 10 position, I keep thinking I’m in those amkan position (11th or 12th position). Until I see the official result, only confirm that I’m in men open category 8th position. I miss to take my trophy, damn, need to find organiser already.
After the race, do hear a sad news saying that one of the pacer Evelyn Ang Loo get hit by car seriously. Let’s pray for her, really hope to see u again in runner world, please stay strong.
