KWYP City Run 2011

Participated in my 2nd KWYP City Run held on Oct 16th (Sunday). This was supposed to be 10k run but my Garmin showed only 8.09k ! A nice route though, pretty flat race.. Exiting Komtar into Carnavon St, then into Malay St, into Beach St, thru Farquhar St, City Bayview, Citibank, turn into Jln Larut, then into Burmah Road before turning into the Salvation Army, before moving into the home stretch of MaCalister Road all the way to Penang Road and back into Komtar.

Did a decent time, taking into consideration of my still a bit sore knee at that time.

Date : Oct 16th (Sunday)
Time : 41:06 mins
Distance : 8.09km (no PB !)
Pace : 5:05mins/km with a split of 5:06 (1st 5k) and 5:03 (last 3.09k)

The majestic Komtar view at the finishing point, and the certificate - no medal !!

My Cool Running blog....

OK. I must admit. This blog is ONE YEAR late ! I was supposed to start blogging after my PBIM in 2009 but procrastination sets in... and here I am, 1 year later :P

Better late than never lah.. I blog this so that I can keep track of my runs, the records and trainings.. Also, something for me to look back later !

Reflections of 2010.. I did a total of 5 runs, with a total distance of 84km, time spent 10 hrs 3 mins running.. Pretty satisfying as the runs has brought to places I have never been to, like Cyberjaya and around Tg Bungah and Teluk Kumbar interior. It is during the Malakoff Run that I got notice of the Penang Swimming Club and the amazing sunrise which led me signing up as member 2 months later !

So, overall, a great step forward in my Cool Running in 2010..
