Race Report: Bidor Half Marathon 2011

Location: Dewan Muhibbah, Bidor, Perak
Date/Time: 24th April 2011 @ 7:00 am
Category: A - Men Open
Bib: A 152
Distance: 21.32km (by Garmin FR 405)
Timing: 1'45:22
Average Pace: 4:56 per km
Rank: 19th

Flag off at 7:00am, consider late for a half marathon race.

Pace with Ronnie (PM1) for first 4km, give up and run with my own pace. Count the category A runners at first 5km u-turn, I still in top 20, try to maintain my pace until 10km, as usual Bidor route is quite hilly, especially from 12km to 14km. Almost exhausted after 19km, plus the strong sun shine and run uphill.

Saw Tey snap photo at 20km mark. Try to speed up my pace for the last 1km, hope can completed the race with 1:45, but mission failed, 9 sec slow than my best timing clocked at Bidor on 2009.
