Ever since aku decided to sign up for the half marathon in KLIM, life was more conscious about health & diet. Though running was my passed acitivity during study life, 21km was never a mark that I have ran through. So, with about 80% of training thorughout 3 months and 20% uncontrolled factors i.e. flu & weather, today was the big day.
Alhamdullillah with the strength provided, I managed to clock 2 hours 28 minutes for my first half marathon. The first 10km was a maintained pace staying below 80% HR. The later 11km was pushing hard to complete with ignorance to some foot pains. Thanks to the mp3 as well.
Rewarded oneself with refuelling at nasi kandar at Ibrahim Syah.
Update : Well, official results are out from KLIM's website. Clocked official time 2:29:06 (Chip time 2:26:45) which ranked myself at 175th position out of 317 qualified half marathoners in Junior Veteran Category...cool.
