Melawati 10 Km Run - March 29, 2009

Low turn up at the Melawati Run.


he he he..!

Much anticipated run for me simply because I have not participated in this Melawati Run before this. Halim had an emergency with his father in-law injured in an unfortunate road accident, leaving Azad and me for the normally competing trio. This time, Azad picked me up from home and we arrived at the location at about 6:30 AM. As expected, not many people participated and the event was just an ordinary event without much publicity, not even with a starting and finishing banners! Others from Talisman were Jamil and Lim Boon Kok. The YB flagged off right on time.

The Talisman's Team - two big ones and two small ones!

I should say that the run was nice, very flat to begin with but pretty tough towards the end, it had both hilly and u-turns which I hated the most. Again, I always dislike the u-turns and we had twice in this run. Of course, if you asked me, I could see Azad running in-front of me while I was heading for a u-turn! The scenery was nice, I have never been to those residence areas right at the top of the hill side with lush of greens and sound of water flowing (not so much to qualify as waterfalls).

Medal at last!

I clocked 1 hr 35 minutes and perhaps about a dozen were still behind me while Azad was at the finishing line about 15 minutes ahead. For this run, we got both medal and certificate! Poor Halim, medal is just what he likes to collect!
