Rank:

Take the opportunity to run this race as closing race for 2012. The well known rolling hill route, I can't feel any flat road at all.

My knee injury not fully recover yet, First 16km still managed to sustain the minor pain, but I really want to give up after 16.5km onwards, Chee Siang overtook me at 19.8km, thinking of follow his pace but mission failed.

Slightly under distance compare with last year, due to minor changing of the route. Drink stations is sufficient enough, but only one station at 16.5km serve isotonic drink.

Glad I can completed the race without cramp, although knee pain become serious after 19km.


Newton 25km, run for Miow Chin as rewards for her 70+1 km achievement at Putrajaya 12 hours walk.

  1. Congrats for finishing the race. But yeah, bummer about the lack of isotonic drinks. Even then, I had to actually help myself with it. Saw one guy pouring one into his cup, so I followed suit.

    It's hidden, or reserved, or something.

  2. The official result is out but it is incorrect. Very disappointed with the organiser to have the balls to publish the result which in my experience is not correct.
