Unexpected Medal
Exceli hor, this week I supposed to train for my long run wan. Bcoz hor, adidas KOTD is coming next week liao. My last long run was Penang Bridge Run on 25th june, so now I'm in low low mileage. And then hor, this Datuk Yaziz keep poison me to go Bangi. I oredi sell my bib to Chen Pong2 liao, however Datuk Yaziz willing to register for me again using Chen name, collect bib n fetch me there too. Fuyo! So touching, so I accept der offer. So hor, Me, Yaziz, Pong2 n Adam Loh Poh2 go together in big lorry, we gather at Bkt Aman car park 6.00am.

By 6.30am we oredi at Bangi liao, however still raining but not so kaulat liao. By 7am rain fully stop, at 7.30am race yet to start. Cinya geram VVIP late again, drag until 7.50am only they flag off. After der flag off, I was running smooth. Suddenly after 1km, Suresh Pm47 come n sayur me. Wah!! Make me so panic nia, lucky I manage to handle der situation. After few mins, I manage to sayur back Suresh. However Guna was no where to be seen liao :(

Pain Is Your Friend
After 4.5km hor, suddenly I feel my heel area very painful. Due to I wear low cut sock, der shoe keep rubbing my skin every sec every mins, cinya unbearable. After der U-turn, I calculated my position was in driving seat at #20. Sumore Chen Pong2 still far behind, so a bit relief lah. But my heel skin getting more n more painful liao, so have to reduce der speed a bit.

As wat I know, der distance is not up to 10km. After 31mins I start to pia all out liao, coz der distance is getting nearer n nearer liao. Finally I touch der finishing line at 37min 18.11sec at Position 18th! Base on my 2004 Bangi result I was out of medal position at 33rd position wit time of 37min 42.81sec. [insert happy to get medal] finally get my revange!

After finish der race, my shoe was cover wit blood. Cinya scary, quickly take out der shoe n socking, n start to walk like cacat. I only have myself to blame for not wearing der correct sock, sumore I got bring 2 sock sumore leh.. TNS!!

Overall we are very happy, couse everyone of us going back wit a medals! And FYI, Congratulation to Adam Loh Poh Poh (Pm29) for his 100th medals collection at Bangi Run. So far only 4 Pacemakers manage to hit 100 medals..
