We Ran KL

*pssst...citer lapok lagi

Henry David Thoreau:

'I have learned that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours'.

In the oddly hour of Sunday pitch black morning, I commuted to Bukit Aman on my trusty steed Honda, in a hurriedly manner of course. I was late. The phone alarm gave up on me, saved by my biological alarm clock that woke me at 5.23am.

With most major road closures into Jalan Parlimen, there were some chaos about getting to Bukit Aman's carpark. But that soon over when we were displayed with almost ten thousands sea of orange runners filling what's left of Jalan Parlimen.

Ziff, Akmal, Alwin, Zarif (new friend) & me had the initial plan to stay together as far and as along as we can into the run.

With lots of orange sightings all around, we had to doublecheck on each other once in a while. It was fun though, running lamelessly with some soft jokes thrown around. It was even better when we didn't bother to check our timing. We just ran!

Route : Parlimen - Mahameru - Muzium - KL Central - Brickfield - KTM - Syed Putra - Kinabalu - Bank Negara - Sultan Salahuddin - JKR - Wisma Tani - Mahameru - Parlimen.

Pretty much a combination of inclines and flat. Even some short steep inclines causes sudden halt to a walk due to the large crowd.

We managed some camwhoring at a manageable level before the start and after the run.

It's been a while since my participation in a mass race of thousands like this. It was fun especially when one had the chance admiring loads of runners' behaviour and appearances.

Good orange tee (can use for training), generous feed zones and awesome management. Thumbs up!
