Possible to collect without IC photocopies? I will have my friends from Penang to collect for me as well

I pmed u my email addr if it is still avail.

u still can give them a credit at water station?

for me 1st year this race, and i hear quite bad but i still give them a try at their FM.
-Bib collection line up for 20min under hot sun and just 3 ppl away only, and my friend can find her bib and this n that for 2hr+ only get a replace bib. Bib quality not water resistant, alot bib fell off...

-There is no baggage service, only set up last minutes and there is no tag for runner. Last minutes cut out paper and let runner themself to write their name and bib .

-Register FM, at internet show that 4am REPORT TIME, 4:30am RACE START!!!, night before race i hear FM starting time change to 5am. So we reach collection day, ask is 4:30. And i hear a guy keep telling a caller 4:30 race start. But will doubt bout the starting time for FM, my friend call them and confirm is 4:30am start race. So prepare everything eat all powerbar and drink rebull at 4, 4:15 announce 5am race start. Every runner gather inside kandang and take the cable tie to tide our hand, this and that shiting, every runner starting making noise race flag off at 5:07#$#@$#@$

-Water station, sucks!! 1st water station 5km and given a 500ml water bottle. Alot runner drink 1 or 2 slip then throw away, 2nd water station better a bit. Come with cup. Till 3rd water station, they giving out POP. Thats so sweet till u duno how to drink it...that i just throw it away. Till 2nd and 3rd last water station, they ran out of water and im not last pack of runner all the pack. Im 4hr runner reach there, without water. I cant imagine how slower runner survive it.

-50% of the route dark like shit no light, no people holding light and direct the car and we just run alone in the dark, all runner really run in group and show hand signal to notice all vehicle that we at there.

-Whole route no counterpain and ice, lucky i bring 2 travel pack counterpain for emergency. Luck on my side i dint had encounter any cramp and i given to 2 runner. There is no medic all they way...!!

-no volunteer show which part road u running. That tilla "Y" junction alot runner go to wrong route, even me go to wrong way. Lucky got a 1 FTAA marshal saw me and ask "why u here, where is your 3rd ribbon" that time i only know i go wrong way, if not i duno go where...

-After race finish there is no drinks for me, even i finish the whole FM in 4:09 and the best screw part is they give me a "L" size finisher tee, im asking for "M" and they told me OUT OF SIZE!!!!, i feel like WTF!!! i finish 27place size still can finish?? How many "M" size shirt they got??

- Goodies collecting back slow like shit, they just pack on the spot before giving to all runner.

- Just only Got nasi lemak for all runner, there is no refreshing drinks or food...@#!@#!@

- BEST PART is they never admit and apology to their mistake and still said " you all so many complaints, we not gonna hosting this event next year" WTF!!!!!

For me credit got to police,
- They escort all runner all the way with motor and light, Control all the car, if not all runner get knock down by passing vehicle.
- Very frequent police motor escort all runner at the darkest part of the route.
- Show me where is the route when there is no signal and open route to me..

After Taiping IM, it made my earlier 1st HM Ipoh IR looks much better.

Can't really compare, just ran 4 races in my entire life. 

Hi all, does anyone know 2 runners who participated in Taiping International Marathon 2012 HM category? I saw them wearing LowYat.net shirt but was not sure whether they are really in this thread.

There was a guy whose name is Andrew (if not mistaken) and a lady called Renee. I can only remember that they are from the Northern region. (Kedah and Penang, if not mistaken)

My left knee was giving me problem during the run and then Renee and Andrew approached me and motivated me to complete the run together. After I completed the run, I had to leave immediately for a family gathering and did not get their contact.

I would like to thank them for the motivations and hope can join them again for future events. Please help... Thanks all..

2. Polar (any model)
3. Timex (any model)

Wow that's advanced.

I checked mine at Adidas The Curve, Adidas KLCC also have.

But not the computerized type, just a machine, you stand onto it, your feet shape will show up, and the sales personnel will look at the table chart and define which foot type is yours, then recommend.
