Race Report: Newton Challenge Malaysia 2012

Location: Bandar Kinrara, Puchong
Date/Time: 30th Dec 2012 @ 5:30am
Category: Men Open 25km
Bib: 1319
Distance: 23.99 km (by Garmin FR405)
Timing: 2'20:52 (Gun Time)
Average Pace: 5:52 per km
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.

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.

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.
