2XU Compression Run

2XU Run was trouble free. the good thing about 15k or 16k for that matter is i won't have a specific finishing time target. the only reliance i have would be whether my pace would be as nice. i can do my own math, but who bothers. at least for something that won't matter much, i get to run trouble free once a while. plus i know it will be a hilly ride, so i won't be able to score much anyhow. so let's not put our hopes high.

I can sense that Aminsyah was not too excited about it, so I kept it low. Too bad it was raining when we reach the venue. Mine supposed to start at 6. Kind of a good thing actually, and i dont have to worry about parking much, cos Aminsyah's session is later. and hopefully by his session, it wouldn't rain anymore, else he would be pissed off.

Managed to found Mazy while waiting for the rain to subside under the tent. And i could make a conclusion now that Mazy is an early sprinter. Unlike me, I like to keep things slow at the start, so i would have enough energy and i could pick things up in the end.

I was with Mazy up until the 1st killer hill. i kept on going, and i didn't feel the need to walk. Since I have to wait, so i just head on, while not waiting for Mazy.

It.was. the. hilliest. route. ever. period. it's like, nothing stagnant or constant on this route. So i know i will never have a good timing. Plus I wasn't pushing myself so much anyhow. the 2 killer hills were really a killer. It was from the race that I noticed i have a weak upper thigh, so that may be an area to concentrate on afterwards. I treated it as my training run, so I really had fun participating the run. So much trouble and pressure free.

it was rainy almost throughout, My feet felt soaked. luckily my body was not so much. That Milo shirt is not too bad after all. Bumped into jeg, hisyam along the way. saw keng at the finish line. Saw Su at the start line. She helped to tag my running pix on facebook as well. And i soooo love the pix.




After that had breakfast at Chawan. We could have reached home earlier, if not due to the long breakfast.

This is my result. Pretty happy with it. though I am not particularly pleased that Jeg had overtaken me. I seldom get overtaken (bluekk). He did it in 1hr 34 mins, 6 mins earlier than mine... I am so not pleased



So, i am pretty happy with the 2XU Compression Run Result. If i dont sign up for Newton, this would be my concluding run for this year. and from here on, I felt that i was almost ready for a full marathon. May Allah permits.
