KL Standard Chart Run- 10km

 I was having mild headache for two days and started this 10km race at Body Battery of near zero. 

The target is 55 minutes and I completed in 55 mins and 58 seconds. Did poorly in 8th km when uphill. Overall pace is 5:37 per km, which is still satisfactory. This is considered to be my second best result. The best is a Virtual Run on May-21, which I obviously chose the easiest route possible. 

Watch out for your friendly neighborhood - Spiderman!

HY Basketball- KLSL League

Another competition, another medal! Hong Yi is on fire! This round he won a Gold Medal in KLSL League for Basketball Under 11 Boys. Not bad for someone who just pick up the sport few months ago. Just when you are wondering how he managed to make the School's First Team, he brought home another Medal. If only he is as talented in his studies. ☺

Garmin Running Clinic

 

Garmin Running Clinic- tempo run of 3km loop (3 times) give me an excellent opportunity to decide the pace for upcoming Standared Chartered 10km run. I did 5'40 (over 9km) therefore my target for the run will be 5'30.

Plenty of good stuff. I get to try to run with Asic Magic Speed 2. Free Amino Drink and banana too.

KBS Trail

 Family outing- KBS Trail Run. 2km for family and 10km for myself.

Good job Hong Xin on the completion of Challenge Course

Yes I really struggle in this course. Who would have imagine that a 10km Trail Run is as hard as a half marathon or 30km run in the rain?

Piala Dato Bandar SJ

Better luck than good. 

Irrespective of number of participants, a medal is a medal. Well done Hong Yi in this "Piala Dato Bandar Subang Jaya" 4 x 2km relay race. 

Good job Puma Velocity Nitro 2. Thats' 2 bronze medal out of 2 races.

HY Cross Country

Hong Yi's first school representation is on Cross Country Racing and it is a great result. He came 3rd overall for Under 11, 2km category. 

Well done Hong Yi and well done his brand new Puma Velocity Nitro 2 Running Shoes!

 

PJ Marathon 30km 2022

The PJ Marathon 2022. Longest Run in a race - 30km. It turns out to be a nightmare. There is heavy rain about 80-90% of the journey. The road is flooding and we have to run through water pond in many occasion. There route is difficult with lots of up and down hill. Last but not least, it is my first ever 30km run therefore the fatigue is significant. 

Garmin Run 2022

My second real race- half marathon and its not a bad one at all. I finish at the time of 2hour 10min (and if I remove the additional 450m that organisor mistakely put int, I would have finish at  around 2 hour 8 min). The average pace is 6'04, slightly above my target of 6'00. The reason of not able to hit target is due to 'cramp' feeling from 16km onwards and slow me down for 4 km. Otherwise, I am ahead up to 16km mark.

The route is difficult in my opinion but overall the experience is great.
