Good experience for me altough finished in the timing of 6hours 3minutes.Second worst full marathon timing after my maiden singapore marathon with 6hours 15minutes.

Didn't run at all or exercise after GE 30K.But it was good for me to know my current maximum condition although worry my right ankle and both knee old injury.At the end,it was only cramp which I can suffer,didn't complain much,just little disappointed for my timing.

On race eve day met with captim couple,Ai Ling and her USA friend,Penang Chin for lunch at old place,after that settle with Narumol friends bib collection,but Narumol miss her flight due to late,cause her migrain make over slept,she has to toke night flight which reached hotel almost 1am plus..salute to her marathon spirit.

Then later went KL Sentral to farewell with Sahara ultra runner Ngae and Dr Tan,after chit chat with Penguin Eric Teo group friends.

I slept almost at 12am plus,then 2am already got my morning call,opps...still lazy on bed as usual,lazy till 2.30am,just drink one cup of ovaltine and one bread.Then left my house at 3.15am.Met SJ sisters at Bank Rakyat carpark ,pass to them magic powder,each get two packs,glad to know that this help them to prevent cramp inpia KLIM.

After so long didn't take part in race and training,I know I will to suffer in the race,but don't know what will happen to me.After chit chat with so many friends and also snap photos before start,plus thanks Raihan pass to me the 2006 MR25 ultra finisher vest.

Sorry for ccube cause promise him to give him some packs of magic powder,but all put in my bag,ahhhhh.....paiseh liao !! hehe Promise him to pass few packs for Penang marathon.But lucky he didn't get any cramp in this KLIM,well done ,ccube !!!

Altough I bring my new baby D40,but didn't bring along lah ,cause sure will suffer mah,so just bring my old DC canon powershot loh..sorry for who's action pia in my DC is blur ya..hehe !!

Ok,back to race,the first 10km ,I pace with DK,since I promise to pace with him,look still ok after Jalan loke yew,after snap his pia action,plus Yong action,Abu sick face action,but while I chit chat with ABU ,DK already left first after turn in Jalan Cheras lama.I met my Muar friend Ah Kee,he just aim for finish,pace with him until 20km,I started suffer since 15km get cramp liao,manage to get a foto with Kee at 20km,then I ask him go first.

Aftter 20km,I tried continue slow run,but failed,that is why I plan to use fast walk to finish this suffer KLIM,just hope to finish in sub 6 hrs will happy for me.

I snap some Pm gang pia photos at Jalan Bukit Bintang,first is pm19 ....,I tried to use water station ice to help me erase the cramp,still not bad,cause weather still not so hot ...!!

But after Jalan Sultan Ismail adiddas cheer team,I snap few photos,like Kevin Chow and Aunty Theresa,but I cheer with adidas team also.

Later at next water station before Jalan TAR,I met Jamie,snap his one photo,then turn to Jln TAR,I totally can't run,just fast walk,tried slow run,but can't more than 10 steps.Even walk fast also have to hold my cramp.Jia lat....!!

I met with Cheong at Jalan Raja Laut,thought he was behind me..hehe..cause at early stage me and DK left him behind ..must overtoke me liao in the dark ,salute to him.Although he doing his first time FULL,but still look fresh,I just told him use run and walk to finish,sure he can do it,very glad at the end he can finished in timing sub 5:50,good for him as I saw him in GE 30K,suffer a lot....!!

When I use walk skil to reached 30km powergel supply station,wah lau eh,all the power gel smile at me,stand beside me to get a suffer photo with me,so malu liao..haha...!! The timing just pass 4h05m,still have 12km to finish within 1h54m,can I finish it in time ? I must walk average 9 minutes per km.Just pray hard....arrrr !!!

But the first aid at 30km mark don't have cramp oil liao,even next station also same,jia lat man,even hard to find the ice too...grrrrrr !!!

At Jalan Tun Razak after 8.30am,it was hot,I just try non stop walking....walk....if cramp bad,just stop for a while to do stress at roadside.

Tried to follow the famous indian walking veteran buntut,but before KLGH roundabout already puncit lah,cinya geram....!!!

Finally got ice and cramp oil at countdown 9km mark,both my legs feel ok ,tried to run ,but only can tahan around 50metre..ahhhhhhhhh..what to do lah,walk loh....better than get cramp and stop waste,my heart now so kc for timing ......!!

After the Parlimen,the 5km and 4km mark ,just 100 meter nia,KNS,lucky I knew the distance sure put wrong,why ???

Saw DK and Klang captain Lim before I make U turn at Jalan Duta...wah..I thought DK far in front,he also get cramp.My determination to chase DK n Lim burn liao,try walk faster pace,but then they use slow run and walk,cham,lost target also at the end..haha !!

At last 3km,I try to faster pace in my walking,but can't like in genting 24h walk,tried to run also failed,so ,I knew that I will not finished in 6hours,although cramp bad 2 times at Bank Negara and also cramp one at Dataran merdeka,when met Pm gang start leaving,thanks for all of them waiting under hot hot sun,appreciate their timing...!!Captim pm1 snap my kan koh face photo,but I use cap to block lah..sorry ya....!!
