How's about Asics shoes at Mitsui Sepang. Might a good deal there.

For long distance use, cap or visor is recommended. Get the one with dri-fit and light material.

I recently bought Amazfit Stratos as well and been testing out at UM route. So far, the distance and elevation gain was comparable with my old garmin. The only problem wit amazfit stratos is that not all GPS activities could be synced to strava except for running, walking and cycling mode with GPS. Hopefully the developers could improve the software.

Different people, different recovery rate.

You may want to do the intensity running once a week. The rest is recovery run, easy run and long run. This is just to minimise the risk of injury.

You can put aside Pace (can't wear it for swimming). For Stratos, there are more functions such as indoor and open water swimming, Triathlon mode.

Based on the latest software update, there is an menu for Track Back. I haven't explored the Track Back function, can't comment on the functionality. You can Google more on this.

In term of GPS accuracy, Stratos clocked 21km during the recent NPE Highway Challenge. I would say it is comparable to other more established GPS running watches. For trail at Setia Alam Trail, my Stratos clocked 10.8km vs Suunto 11.2km (my friend was walking around taking some pix along the route).

I just Google nia. You can check out Keypowers Malaysia website for pricing.

I am wearing Adidas Climacool cap, very light and dry-fit material. You can check it out at Stadium / Royal Sporting House, sometimes they have sales discount like 10%, Smth like that.

There is a label. I have forgotten how much I bought.

Start form low, sign up swimming lesson now.

Can always start from a budget roadbike ie aluminium frame, depending on the brand, estimated RM3k +/-. At this budget, can get a shimano gear set model 105.

When you have more budget, can always trade in your bike for a new one.

I bought nato strap instead to replace my broken fenix 1 strap

For HM, the rain was getting heavy after the first u turn near 1st water station, should have diverted the runners back to the starting point.

It's a tough call for the RD to call off the race and to escalate he message to the crews.

The RD announced the call off at 9.20pm

Track inside the Bukit Jalil Stadium? I don't think it's open to public.

If you need a track to jog, mebbe can consider MPSJ stadium.

For me:
- Arm pouch for ID, car key, some money
- Waist pouch for 6'' size phone

Seriously how many can sleep at 5pm..haha.. Most runners are so excited.

Just get enough sleep 1 or 2 weeks before the race day. You should be able to go through the night. All the best in your coming run.

I haven't tested it out. I bought it to keep first.

I have been wearing PureCadence 4 (retired) and currently purecadence 5 (400km mileage). I wear it mainly for normal training shirt run and LSD max 20km+. The shoe is light with some cushioning with support.
