THREE O FIVE

I think if I said this October was the saddest month for our Malaysia running community, I think most of the people would agree. It was supposed to be my busiest racing month but end up I didn't get to run any races (only one 3km fun run in the end). All the races that I registered were either cancelled or postponed because of the stupid haze. One of the most important races for me, the SCKLM which was supposed to happen 2 weeks after my last race Cyberjaya Firefighter was cancelled too. Arggh... all my 16 weeks of hard work! SCKLM I'm not quite sure how I actually felt. I was actually not much affected by the cancellation compared to the others because I still have a goal race coming up in December so I don't think my effort and hard work are wasted but the sadness from the community spread like a disease. I was more or less affected by it. The SCKLM is one of the biggest running events in Malaysia. Many people deem it as their bread and butter race and some even set i...

之前跑了几次BSN Night Run我都跑不出好成绩。也不知道为什么，就是觉得Putrajaya的route很难跑。这次的也不例外，那种不知不觉的斜度，有很多是肉眼感觉不出来的，远远望去还以为是平的，有上也有下，应该很平常。其实不然，回家看了GPS图终于明白了。 半马的路线， 从1km~4km的地方，平均下降了40m， 然后从5km开始12km的地方总共上升了50m， 从12km到18km再上20m， 然后18km到20km，急剧下降20m左右。 所以5~18km那种“隐形”的上升，大概是6~7层楼的高度。上的时候不是很斜可是很远，下的时候就非常斜可是很快，这种我觉得很辛苦。 然后整条highway没有树，早上下午太阳暴晒，虽然说下了一场雨，可是路面温度还是很高，加上水蒸气弄到整个环境湿湿热烘烘的，好像焗suana酱，超不舒服的。 幸好这次以比较保守的心态来应付，虽然达不到4:39的pace，可是跑出一个不错的PB，还拿到一个安慰奖。LOL。 之前的PB是2009的KOTR，1:48:26，这次的是1:39:20，21.2km。
