I am a fan of Compressport running gears, but not neccesarily a fan of its running event. After 2 consecutive failed family runs (cancelled UEM Medini and DNF National Unity Run), i am a bit worried this one will not be a good one either.
1) REPC @ DPulze Shopping Centre - first not so good sign, long que and quite slow process. It can be an acid-test when u go with small kids and wifey. Luckily it's a mall so a nice lunch treat and a bit of entertainment thingy do the trick. But may be also because i picked a wrong day - Saturday (was told Friday was the same). 2) Event venue @ the MMU Cyberjaya was not a bad choice actually. I am not familiar with the area so went there quite early, ard 4:30am, arrived abt 5+ for a 6am event, and it's already a bit congested inside the campus. Not long after, parking inside the campus was closed and the rest have park outside. Simple event set-up with the usual thingy, FO/FL arch, simple stage, some tents, etc. Less no baggage counter if not mistaken. 3) Nice Warming Up session specially for runners by Sam (no zumba yeahhh). FO was on the dot, no special official kinda thing. Route not bad with some elevation (17-48m) here n there, saving the best at the last km20-21.1. Nice weather, a bit windy n cool morning. Some route were dark, some with good light, some surround secluded area. WS almost at every 3km with mineral water, isotonik, coconut drink, watermelon cut as well as wet sponges. Medic n traffic visible. Marshall here n there mostly one teenage girl/boy stationed at road junctions. I have no issue with that but also heard runners went a wrong route, even among the top 10 group. 4) Personally I am fairly satistied with 1:46hr for a half marathon, (placed 11th in VCat, 27th Overall) coming back from series of injury issues. The timing is way better than my last PJHM @ above 2 hrs. Need to train smarter - avoid injury!!!!! đđđđđ.
