KLIM 2008
2nd and 3rd runner from Kenya reaching the Dataran Merdeka. The 1st runner was too fast for me to capture ,haha
Another runner fr Pacesetter , going bananas!!!
"Running Mum" , her blogspot name- our Klang pacesetter making the mental killing u-turn at Dataran Merdeka 26km to continue her run to complete here Full Marathon.
Hooi Siew Weng ,71 yrs old, started running at 47 ( 24 yrs running with 30 Full Marathons todate ). Read more about him in Footloose , March edition.
Pacesetter member Phylis and another lady friend help me while I took this photo of my Klang Pacestters banner.I went to support the KLIM 2008 , I did not run as I am still resting my injured knee.
I was lucky to see the champion coming back in the early morning around 6.45am , he did in 2hr 15min.
I took a strategic position at the junction where the Full marathon has to make a U-turn just before Dataran Merdeka---i refer this as " mental killing " because one can give up upon seeing the FINISHing banner. I was a victim myself in 2004., sometimes, I ask why cant the organiser choose another diversion route.
Anyway, that 's the challenge, dont COMPLAIN, you are a RUNNER !
Well, I hope I am able to recover and run next year 2009 KLIM which I heard shall be sponsored by Standard Chartered. ( it shall be my 5th KLIM ).
Remind me . guys !
