A journey of my life

Obviously not enough time for me to recover from Powerman on the previous Sunday. My body just refused to increase the pace. To make it worse, I didn’t have enough sleep and proper carbo-loading as I took a bus from KL at 3:30pm on Saturday and arrived in Queensbay Mall 5 hours just before the race. Even the weather was not on our side, we were struck by tropical thunderstorm at the middle of the bridge. Imagine you have to run against the wind and I couldn’t look forward to see where am I going. Despite all these I crossed finish line in 5:38hrs. Not my PB though, I’m happy with the timing :) Bib Name Country Official Net 3722m 18679m 21137m 32988m 37789m A00857 KAM KASTURIE MALAYSIA 05:39:13 05:38:31 0:23:15 2:14:53 2:38:41 4:18:29 5:02:31 Race started at 2:00am. Very sleepy…uwaaaaa I tried to follow her for the first 12km but I couldn’t keep up with her pace. Running on the bridge. OP Azmel 1st Marathon & OP Jabir sub 5 timing. Tropical thund

During my last Powerman two years in 2008, I was in Manjung to race but I was DNS (Did Not Start) after experienced very bad diarrhea only 5 hours before the race start at 7:30am. So, technically this my first Powerman, I was very happy to be able to complete it within cut off time and I got a medal together with finisher T-shirt. Run 11km: 1:01 hrs (T1 – 5 min) Bike 64km: 2:09 hrs (T2 – 5 min) Run 10km: 1:18 hrs TOTAL: 4:39 hrs (Cut-off 5 hrs) I haven’t ride my bike since Desaru and only focused on running has taken a toll on 3rd leg. My last 10km run took a lot longer when both my tights cramped up due to lack of bike training. Hope I would be able to recover before Penang Bridge Marathon this coming Sunday.
