KL City Day Half Marathon 2023

A week after the 15km YoloRun, I go for the KL City Day Half Marathon 2023.

My objective is to start with the pace of 5'40 and see how far I can 'hold' at this pace. Should I be able to hold for the full 21.1km, I will hit sub-2. This is my first real attempt at sub-2.

I did the first 12km at great pace, with an average of 5'38 (although my balance energy is less than 50% by the 12th km.) We head towards Bukit Tunku at 13th km and I struggle significantly thereafter. I even walk a couple of times to gather my breathe. 

Final average pace is 5'46 which is my Personal Best. I may fell short of the Sub-2 pace of 5'40 but its a 7 second /km improvement from my previous PB of 5'53. 

Net time 2'02'16 covering distance of 21.21km. Category Rank 159 of 1182.
