My Second Official Half Marathon in Malaysia.

It was around 4 AM in the morning, I got up and was waiting for my regular Uber Buddy - Shaz. He was right on time, picked me up at 5 AM in the morning and started our way to the venue. The place is well lit by lights and the sounds of the runners have filled the place with energy already.

As usual what you expect from a great organizer, the flag off for 21.1 Kms was bang on time. The route was pleasant with blue skies and nice breeze - though it became hot as time passed by.

As stated the distance was not exactly 21.1 Kms instead we have extend and stretch ourselves for 1.5 Kms more to reach the finish line. 

At Km 17 I think, my left knee started to pain and was not able to bear it took time and started to walk for few kms with sprinting, but that didn't help. Finally completed my race in 02:49:02 as tracked by Adidas Mi-Coach.
