PBIM 2009 is my 10th Half Marathon on the Penang Bridge, since my first Penang Bridge Half Marathon in 1997.

From starting until 18 km, I still manage to maintain my average sub 5 min per km pace, hope can achieve my target of sub 1:45 for this race, but unforturnately that I start slow after 18km, my stomach give me trouble until I not able to spped up my pace.

0 - 7km - 0'34:23 ---> 0'34:23
7 - 14km - 0'35:12 ---> 1'09:35
14 - 18km - 0'20:06 ---> 1'29:41

19 - 20km - 0:05:19 ---> 1'40:12
