Last weekend, i was took a bus from S'pore to Penang in order to take part Penang Bridge Half Marathon -22.3km run.
The bus company called Alisan. It provide a good service as well as bus seat is comfortable. It really meet expectation of sleeping tight by lying down 180deg. Even i had a good sleep, but somehow i was a bit tire and overheated during Saturday nite.
Miow Chin came and pick me up from Sungai Nibong Bus Station Penang and we went to " House of Dim Sum" . Well, i have no appettide even the food was looked so delicious to me, but because i had a superb full farewell dinner with my company clgs last nite.
After collected race bib, it was already 1pm. We checked in hostel in USM by 1:30pm. Then i was taking rest in the room, while Miow Chin went out to meet up Boon Keat they all at Queesbay plaza.
At 3:30pm, everyone of us was so hungry and eager for durian/laksa "lunch" already. We went up all the way to Balik Pulau and had a nice but expensive durian there. About RM30+ per person for durian buffet ooh....damn expensive, because to me i never have to spend money to get durian one:P
On Sunday 24-June, We wake up 3:30am and left room at 4:15am. Race started on 5am for women half marathon. There were too many people walking and become a block to the runners. Really piss off...:( After ran for 1st 5km, there was a lady overtook me and i found out we have the same pace, maybe in fact she was sightly faster than me. So i was pace her all the way till 15km point. We were taking turn to overtook each other all the time, finally at last 5km She was ahead of me. But i kept pace her with a distance of 100m. Thus, even Chee Chung was asking me to stop and took photo with him at middle of Penang Bridge, i was refused as i still kept following that lady.
I never looked at my watch untill i finished the race. There was no official clock at finishing line. So i was refering to my watch was" 2hrs 20min" and that was after i stop for about 1 min after acrossed finishing line. Wah, i really satisfied with this run. I was make it my personal best timing and also felt still very strong after race. Most probably was due to pacing that lady make me feel enthusism and no tireness thru out the run. Hope i can improve or maintain current stamina.
