Wrap up: Running in 2010

Completed 21 runs in 2010, same as last year. Among this 21 races, 13 are half marathon.

Celebrated 2010 New Year with Saucony Pacemakers Network Run at Lake Garden. First time join the race organized by der Pacemakers Network. A well organized event, I enjoy the race.

Running up the staircase is the most torturing during this race

New Balance Pacesetters 30km, decided not to run 30km and go for 20km just because of injured after SCSM 2009, and also Penny's concert at Genting on the night before. Although with lack of sleep, and the rolling hills route, still manage to completed with 4:59 per km pace, but very amkan that my timing chip not working, no official time and no certificate.


Putrajaya Night Marathon, first night half marathon, not easy to run at night, even though all my weekday training run were at evening. take is as an experience and prepare for Sundown 21km.

Bareno Run at Bulit Jalil area, nice route with some hilly route, the most difficult part is after 10 km, up and down for about 3 km inside Taman Rekreasi Bukit Jalil.


Energizer Night Race at Cyberjaya, 2nd night half marathon. Bad experience with stomach ache for last 7km, endure till the end and direct run to toilet after crossing finishing line.


Bidor half marathon, my 3rd run in Bibor since 2008. Can't perform well compare with last year, weather started hot after 17km downhill route, torturing for the last 4km.


Nice finishing medal from Bidor.



New Balance Pacesetters 15km, another rolling hills route at Double hills area, meet up many friends during this race.


adidas Sundown marathon, my first oversea night race, first time join adidas Sundown Marathon after the 21km half marathon event have been introduced this year. Finished with PB (Bad) in half marathon. Conclucled that night run is really tough.


nice and unique finishing medal.....


Setia Eco Half Marathon, heavy rain half way but manage to run faster, 4:56 pace during this race gain back confidence for my next half marathon, SCKLM.

SCKLM 2010, an important race for me, after get my first sub 1:45 in AIMS certified half marathon during SCSM 2009, SCKLM become my next target. Pushing by some other runners, raining before the race and good weather, my target achieved with 1'44:14 (net time)

Aim for podium finishing failed again and also out of top 5, no cash prize at all.

PBIM 2010, heavy rain since 14km till the end, crossing finishing line with 1'47:00, mission for my 3rd sub 1:45 in AIMS certified Half Marathon failed.



Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2010. Ahead 1:45 pacer from starting till the end, crossing finishing line with 18 sec faster than last year, chip time 1'42:48 become my new PB timing. Glad to completed my 36th half marathon when I am 36 years old, with my Personal Best timing.



Spritzer - KRI Scenic Run 2010, sign up last day before the closing date, simply because I haven't do any race in Ipoh this year. Rolling hills route, 12km is tougher than SCMS 21km for me, run until going to vomit out my heart.


Anyhow finisher T is given to top 600 finisher.

Achievement for this year:

1. Completed monthly half marathon race, with one more as bonus.

2. Completed two (2) sub 1:45 in AIMS certified half marathon.

Didn't expect that I manage to finished the race with 4:56 min per km pace, I just recover from serious cough for one week, only did a 10 km training on Thursday before this race.

Very nice route with some hilly route, the most difficult part is after 10 km, after ran up and down for about 3 km inside Taman Rekreasi Bukit Jalil, then still run uphill along Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil for about 500 meter before turn in to Jalan Barat, I almost exhausted and not manage to pia for the last 1 km. Anyhow still satisfied with my result with my 1'13:48 timing at position 36th in category A.
