Lately I've been feeling guilty because i've never updated the team blog, wong and ong are the ones that have been doing all the updating... :P so here goes...
Been really lazy for quite some time now... wasn't feeling very fit. So i joined this race with zero ambitions other than to finish. Woke up at 5 something and had breakfast before mr. moey sent me ong and ting to dataran merdeka. (Thanks Mr. Moey!!) Managed to meet Wong there without incident but the paddocked was already PACKED! Me, Ong, Wong and Mr. Moey squeezed our way shamelessly into the front (hehe..paiseh) but still ended up around 10 meters from the starting line....
When the race started it was the usual dodging exercise in an effort to move up front... lost sight of everyone by the way.... at around 2 or 3 km till the end i saw a muscular guy in front which turned out to be Mr. Moey, so i tailed him till the clocktower was in sight..... Then all hell broke loose! The finishing runners and the ones just released ended up running head-on... so another dodging episode began.. sometimes even requiring us to stop completely to avoid getting mauled by the stampede... haha... sweeeet... (u can see the ppl running in the opposite direction in the pic below)
In the end, Mr. moey, wong, ting, sylvia and me finished way out of top 5... I even almost puked before finishing... but.... ong who was originally 6th was upgraded to 4th! This was due to diqualification of 2 runners for using friend's bibs... We went to sogo where Ong belanja mcD with his rm50 voucher.. XD Wong's protege from raub also performed well by getting 3rd in his category... way to go!
