Start Slow Finish Strong

Hmmm .... that was the plan for my Brooks Half Marathon .... Nope, never happen. Hampeh my time was 3:21. Terrible

On race day, Tina and I woke-up at 4am got ready and left the house around 5am. We were a bit late because there was a huge jam entering Bukit Jalil Stadium. Found out later that it was cause by the Parking Attendants collecting the parking fees. Parking space was abundance. Hopefully next time they will think to collect the fees when we are leaving the place, as we will have more time to spare.

Anyway, lucky for us they delay the starting time so we manage to be at the starting line just in time.

The race course was murderous! Hills on every corner huhuhuhu ... The person in charge mapping the course is one crazy bugger.

Conclusion after the race:

1. I need to start using the incline button on the treadmill
2. No panic training; hahahaha on Friday evening I decided on do a 3hrs training; 2hr rpm 1hr run. Slept like a baby that night. Then on Saturday, my leg hurts but it was Saturday so I went out with Tina doing errands and a little bit of window shopping; not resting as I should have.... sigh...
3. If the race venue name starts with Bukit (which means Hill) you should be prepared to encounter some hills in your race course ... hmmmmmmm

Oh well, I did finish the course even though my hopes of getting a better time then 3:05 so obviously did not happened. I should be happy completing my second half is still something  J
