Rank: 201st

Humid weather along the bridge, I really hope raining even though I am running on the bridge.

Old injured knee pain occurs once I run until the bridge, I still manage to endure it and run with slower pace, but unfortunately my stomach pain after 17.5km, give up and walk for 3km before turning into Queensbay area, run the last 600m to finishing line was very torturing for me.

The most suffering half marathon I ever did, double "pian" attack ! break my 21km timing since 2008.

Mission for "From 2:45 to 1:45" on the Penang Bridge failed at the end, no fate.

Category: A - Men Open
Bib: A 055

Timing: 1'49:46 (Gun Time); 1'49:42 (Chip Time)
Average Pace: 5:12 per km
Rank: 32nd (Men Open)

First 21km event from KRI. I am not well prepared, not putting any hope, just like a normal run to top up my half marathon quota.
I've been follow closely by someone from team relay and push very hard until half of the journey, start regret that I comsume too much energy at the first half, end up with slow down after 15km.

Still try my very best to finished the 21.12km distance with sub 1:50 timing.
