Venue: Dataran Merdeka, KL
With the official Asian Games 2018 Mascot |
An
unplanned event to join. Decided to register simply because it is rare like SEA Games KL run last year.
Came to this run cautiously with the recovery from my right foot injury is still in progress since the last event at Kiara Conquer the Trails Run on 11 February. Had few days break between several short distance regular runs and much slower pace.
Given the stern warning by the Dr.
The x-ray showed no signs of deformed or cracked bone but I must reduce the
intensity of muscle use at that part of my foot in my runs. It means my normal
pace is something I must let go for a while or maybe forever if the pain continues
when I push it back to my faster pace.
I adhered to the Dr.'s advice. I
ran at pace 6 and 7 only since then.
On Saturday, I attempted a 30km
solo LSD at Putrajaya after the planned run in Feb cancelled due to the injury.
It was also a very cautious run because I have just recovered from a fever with
flu and cough that hit me since Friday last week. I failed to reach 30km and
only finished 21km.Felt my fitness was not up to the mark for a 30km distance yet.
Just felt no gas left to continue as well. Positively, at about pace 7 averages,
it was a pain free run especially at my right foot and no signs of cramp as
well.
My LSD run at Putrajaya on Saturday morning in the effort to rebuild my fitness for my double FM challenge in March.
It means the recovery is in a good progress and gave me the comfort to run today.
The only concern in my mind was
whether I should approach this run like my normal 10km run at events or to
stick to the pace 6 and 7 to make my recovery process not distorted and then to
cause my injury getting worst.
Me and my wife were at two different events on the same day.5km for her and 10km for me |
So, I decided to go the safer
option because I don't want to take any risk for my next planned FM runs at
Pahang Marathon on 11 Mar next week and Miri Marathon in the following week.
With the fitness is still on the recovery mode, running at pace 6 should be
realistic for me although since Feb 2016, I have never failed to run 10km under
1 hour at events.
Arrived at the venue at Dataran Merdeka at about 6.30 a.m. after performing Subuh Prayer at Masjid Negara. The MC announced there would be about 1,600 runners for all categories, Men and Women Open for 10km and 5km fun run.'

MY RUN
Just the execution of what I have
decided in my mind. Overwhelmed a little bit after the FO at 7.00 a.m. sharp
and recorded pace 5 for the first 1km. However, I slowed down and started the
pace 6 fully before reaching 3km.
As expected the first 6 km of the
route were hilly areas with elevation to pass Bank Negara and the famous Bukit
Tunku.
The elevation along the 10km route. |
It was truly a test for my
fitness again but I tried to continue running to overcome the first half of the
route.
The remaining part of it was
quite normal with some downhill and flat stretches until the Jalan Parlimen
towards the FL at the Dataran Merdeka.
Just felt a sudden and sight pain
during the first 1km but disappeared not long after I slowed down to pace 6 and
tried my best to run with the mid foot landing all the time. It worked and it
was a pain free run after than until I crossed the FL.
I was only able to clock only 1
hour 3 minutes this time at the pace of 6:22min/km officially.
Ranked 70 overall from 482 runners and 64 out of 325 runners in Men Open.

It is a personal worst in timing
but personal satisfaction because I could control myself and ran according to
my plan.
The best part is it was another
injury free run and built my fitness and endurance again further for my March
FM challenge.

THE EVENT
It was moderate event but good to see all top guns from OCM and OCA were there. Like SEA Games Run, I opted to wear the official event tee although it was not that comfortable for me. Just to celebrate the upcoming Asian Games and promoting it at the event.

Quite well organised with almost
perfect traffic control all the way.3 water stations for 10km and enough plain
water provided.
Smooth for the FO and after I finished my run. Glad to meet some friends after the run such as Pengawas Laut Mohd Zamre Norhayati Yat Steven Chong and Ronnie Soong.
Congratulation to my faster
running friends Shiau Pei Yong (#3 Women Open) Edwin Keat(#4 Men Open) and Mohd Yusnisan(#13 Men Open) and Azizan Mohamed(#24 Men Open) for their placing
at this event.
With running friends after we have finished our run
I did not wait until the lucky draw to take place for 40 prizes
to be won for the day.
Not forget to mention the weather
was also perfect this morning and the KL Car Free morning was happening in the
same time.
I believe more will join this
event if it was announced and promoted much earlier than January this year.
Left the venue with a good feeling
with another rare medal in my collection. Now I need to continue to get myself
ready to run my 2nd FM this year in 7 days from today.
The special and rare medal although it is just a fun run
