Penang Bridge International Marathon 2010!

Transport to Penang = bus
Yesterday we left from JD at 11pm,and when we reached Queensbay,it was about 11.50pm.

So,while we were there,we walked around&around&around. I even went searching for a batch of friends,all separated! In the end, I join the SMK&IBM boys at a cafe behind Happy Mart nearby Queensbay.
I sat there till 2.15am and then left to prepare for my half marathon run! xD

I went meeting up with Crasher and then met up Ah Ping and his gang. Finish warming up,we went to the starting line. At 3am,the race begins!! I ran with Crasher until the bridge then we got separated.

It was going well all the way,until after the U-turn at the bridge. After running for some distance after the u-turn, HEAVY RAIN!! The run just gets harder,but the rain made me ran even faster and more determined to finish the run!

It was kinda funny as well looking at people wearing their singlet 'terbalik' haha.
Some even brought umbrella with them.

In my mind,I never thought of stopping at all,and in the end,I really never stopped at all!! Awesome improvement!!

I was kinda slow at the final part of the run. But in the final 500m,I burst and give it all I got!
Based on my own timing,I should had finished the race in about 2:38:00 hours,and I get a medal!! By the time I finish, quarter run and fun run haven't even started. So,I went on to continue rest again.

My leg was like rock,it's hard sitting down and it's even harder to stand back up.
I even nearly lost balance as well when I'm walking especially going down the stairs.
After the 10k's run had finished,I went to search for my friends,and after that I went to the lucky draw stand.

First they said 9am,then delayed to 9.30am. Then their stupid talk,presentation of souvenir took 30 minute+ !! In the end,my friend rush me to get back to the bus. Oh well,I was already pissed off with the delay anyway.

In the end,it's a great run. And probably the best birthday present I've ever had!!
YEAH!!!!
