Larian Bomba ths weekend ke? Ayok... tak register lagi...

U have to go to the Bomba HQ near Jalan Hang Tuah there to register manually. Registration still open until 30/4 (Friday), so still got time.. pheww...

I did 16K solo on Saturday.. didn't realize that Larian Bomba is this weekend. 55 mins ok Elgato ? Hopefully I can get my Newtons by this Sunday.. although it's very unlikely I'll use it for this race... Choi dun have stock for big sizes la...

If the route is the same as last year, we'll be facing some uphills as soon as we enter Jalan Duta just after the hockey stadium. Still, I plan to see if I can hold a certain pace for the whole distance la... heheh... let's plan where to meet on that day. Normally for races starting at Dataran Merdeka, the fountain is usually the place of choice.

I'm using 2XU Calf compressor.. heheh... I think it helps in a lot of ways, just that nowadays I only use it for long runs & maybe intervals, becoz I dun wanna rely on it too much..

Soo... Setia Alam half is back.. this event is a good one, I ran the 10k last year. The route is flat, the only uphill is when U use the overhead crossings to get to the other side... if it's not too close to Standard Chartered I'd like to do the half this year.. if too close then maybe just the 10K.

No wonder I can't find any info on Klang Pacers website.. it's organized by different ppl this year...Pacers Sport..

Setia Alam Half

I'ma go today... in fact.. in a couple of hours time ..

I just came back from the Bomba HQ, & also from meeting Choi. I got A1000 as my number !!! It was the last receipt in the book..just that I didn't get the tshirt, they ran out of tshirts edi, but I said nevermind la.. no problem one. The officer insisted that I come back to collect the tshirt.. to the point that I began to feel for him... maybe he's scared his boss will scold him later or something..

I also met Choi to get Injinji socks from him, my toes got some nasty blisters... now I'm just waiting for the Newtons to come in.. Choi, the socks fits perfectly.. can't wait to try 'em today...

I tried out the Injinji socks during my interval session yesterday. I did the intervals on a treadmill to save some time, & as usual, those treadmill intervals will leave me soaking wet inside & outside... & I'm happy to report that the socks performed admirably. My normal socks, even those Nike Running socks, would be drenched in sweat, but the Injinji was a lot better. It was only slightly wet & tht's good news for me. It's very highly unlikely that I would use any other socks for running after this.

I also registered for the Newton Challenge, at 2:30 am. I couldn't sleep, so I decided to register for that event. I decided to go for the 12K, since it's just after Raya.

Those going for Larian Bomba : U guys use both numbers or just one ? They gave us two numbers rite ? But I can't remember the last race I had to use 2 numbers.... I guess I'll use just one...

Gudlak everibodi...

I failed to finish in the medals position during the Larian Bomba, although I ran my fastest race to date. & the distance of the course was 11.02 km (based on my Polar), so my 10K time was 57 mins, a PR. Maybe I started off too fast, my 2nd 5K was 2 mins slower than the 1st. Well, I was just happy that I ran a fast race, but I was disappointed that I failed to finish the course in less than an hour. So disappointed in fact, that I was reconsidering some of my future purchases . But in the end... I got over it & am looking forward to a better race in 2 weeks' time. ...

Sure thing Choi... btw.. any news about the Newtons ?

Yeah rite... elgato potong me like sayur in the last 3K....

Yeah, thts more like it. I shud think the route is about the same, rite Choi ?

Hahah... Vikram tu member dia kot.. hahah

Although very minimalist, the Vibram is not cheap... someone's doing a bulk for it in Bulk Orders..

Somebody's selling Vibram 5 fingers for RM200.. in Shah Alam
Vibram 5 fingers on Facebook

About running with music on, I run with music almost all the time... even when I run on the road, against the traffic. But I agree, there are safety issues that U need to address.

Thts why, I thot it's gonna be like RM350 - 450 like that... RM200 is waaayyyyy too cheap..

Ooo.. so that explains it.. maybe same case like those reject Crocs la.. now I dun bother to buy Crocs no more... too many fakes.. if U buy ori also ppl will say it's fake.. need to bring the receipt around & show to ppl..

Tht's the advantage of buying lesser known brands like Newtons & Saucony... no fakes in the market

Let me have the last post in this thread.... #2500
