merentas kuala lumpur

the inaugural standard chartered kl marathon was finally flagged off on the morning of 28-jun. under title sponsor standard chartered for the first time (not the first kl marathon though), kl is the ninth edition of international marathon sponsored by this bank across the world, started with hk back in 1997. the response was overwhelming and registration was closed earlier when it reached the 12500 registration target.


naik lrt dari miharja ke masjid jamek. masa ke miharja tu, dah nampak orang tengah berlari. lambat keluar rumah. lrt datang lambat. tunggu pulak running kit bag. sudahnya, mula lari pun lambat.


aku rasa, kategori kitorang, 10km tu yang paling ramai peserta. mula-mula lari tu, memang susah nak lepaskan diri dari kelompok depan yang sepanjangnya tu. the running course was fairly easy. i managed to finish under 1 hour but wasn't very satisfied with my timing.




masa nak ambik medal lagi susah. it was a bit disorganized.



we soon left dataran merdeka for breakfast at mamak near central market. masa bergerak balik ke lrt station, aku ternampak tulisan "bne" yang banyak aku jumpa kat bangkok dulu. sampai sekarang tak tau apa maksudnya. sempat lagi bergambar dulu sana-sini. pantang ada camera.




walaupun penat berlari, masih ada lagi tenaga aku aksi ballet ni..



see you again kakilariks in standard chartered singapore marathon this december!
