STANDARD CHARTERED MARATHON 2011 - RUNAWAY BRIDE

I just completed my 7th Marathon last 2 weeks at Phuket Marathon. There was no training prior to Std Chartered KL Marathon in order for my body to fully recover (uwekk)..

So, the excuse of no training for a marathon is...'to dress up like a Bride & Groom'!

This year's marathon was a bit different as I thought I'm able to finish a marathon without training targeted at 5:30 but naah..



Team up with Ms Mawar who had accepted my 'proposal' to be my Runaway Bride. There was no plan actually as the idea just popped out of a sudden.




I concurred that 42km was one hell of a distance (still respecting it). Mawar suffered 'hamstring-going-to-strike-soon' at bukit bintang area (23km-ish) but she still moved on (I salute her on this).


Mr Onn..63 years old...doing his full marathon. (zack, do you still want to quit at 40?)

Mawar Strategy - you pick a target infront (traffic light, road signboard, distance marker or even water station), you run towards the target, stop, and walk, pick a target, run, stop, walk...
hey..it helped!!...She admitted that she had insufficient training..don't we all? (ha, ha..)


The running with skirt group and pacers...wonderful people!!


aftermath - still in good running condition



say 'hi' to photographer








I'm sure this is not 'Gold Coast Marathon'




with Mr Deo - in 4 hr 31 min ! gila..



Gedik Girls


Gedik-gedik? - irwan, kau buat apa tu?

with Wan azmi - atas bawah 2XU. Power!


With Azizi iskandar from JB - susah2 je datang KL..

syah avatar..power!


Kak J from Singapore. Her 3rd marathon in a month.


 Mawar, me, Kak June and Karen Loh bumble bee..

Completed the marathon in 5 hr 47 minutes. Yeah..not too shabby indeed..


izuan : 4 hr 27 min..!! gila lagi..mampos aku nak kejar..

round applause!!
