okies! this sat menu same sounds good!

haha i dunno hw u did 34 ..i dnf the last 6
my hamstrings are sore

wah ..are u aiming for the 100km solo dis yr?

Eh.... looks nice..... mau join ke tidak ya.......

dont think will post a big prob to u as u are pretty strong in trail. just get a running buddy and whack the 100k Duo.

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. ...

came back from BIM. my worst run. DNF. throw up at 30k, I was not sure why, either the medicine or something that I have eaten. My friend did his PR there.

57mins is considered fast on the 10.8k route (measured by Garmin) ie ard 5-1/2min pace on a hilly course, so there is nothing to be disappointed abt. For one to get a medal in Mens Open category, one gotta run at least a sub 50 to be sure of a medal. I ran 53mins last year, so used that as your benchmark for improvement and come next year give it a shot again.

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

Cool! At least you done 30k! My fren also suffer for the full marathon, may be it's too hot?
I did the half, i find it ok.

i agree with choi...very hard for us to beat the otais for the limited medals. as for me last weekend wasmy 10km weekend. did 10km DH on saturday and larian bomba on sunday. manage to click 1hr1min for larian bomba. overall im satisfy with my performance because i slow at the start and after the drink station, i ran like hell....hehehehe. reward my self with nice food after the run. will run again next year.

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

pacesetter 15k got finisher medal? this time we try 1hr ok?

15k in 1hr...tats very fast ie 4min pace. target 1h15mins to 1h20mins, more realistic

ok...i take that back. tenno...lets target nb15km...1hr20min. anybody else plan to join?

hehe.. yeah the Bomba's Men Open is very diffcult to get medals. Need to do like sub-55 for the entire race to be in the running. Right from the start, I see them all speed like they are in a hurry to get back.. LOL.

Or the alternative is to wait 10-15 yrs until you are 40+ yo like me... then can join the Junior Veteran. Jr Vet easier... my time was same as yours and I can still get medal.

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

jack.....i was thinking like that also. but that makes me want to train hard and run as many race i can for mens open. im still young. hahahahaha

haha, yeah you shud do that. those runners in the Mens Open all look "kheng". LOL.

choi, you going for NF huh?

i am still keeping my chin up. Will go for my next 42km again.

The lesson learned from BIM is I need to be careful on my pre-race diet - the last meal b4 race. Also, I should skipped the 100plus at the water station, keep burbing the whole race. The weather was really hot, the number of marathon runners were few, could be less than 200. I found out the reason the race date was change from October to May, The Mt K Climbathon suffer a drop of participants last year, so the Sabah Tourism Board want the BIM to move to another date.

Hope to see all of you in future race.

so challenging ar..

anyone here are barefoot runners?
