One of the hardest 10k I've ever done.

I didnt time myself. I guess I'm not THAT competitive

Well done to all runners who ran Mizuno wave run this morning!!!

I also find the traffic at the beginning of the race is very congested, hope organiser can improve on this, maybe shud start different category at different time

i completed in 45min 44nd (my watch time), position either 68 or 89, din really take a good look at the card as 2 exhausted upon reaching finishing line

i left b4 the prize presentation ceremony, any1 happen to know what's the time of the 1st placing? just curious

Metalfreak reporting in.


I finished Mizuno Wave Run 10KM at 01:05:38. I guess my training paid off. More running to come.

Great run today. Did it in 65 mins (was aiming for <60, oh well). Way cooler/scenic compared to klang last week but the hills were killer siot......I got a bit excited and sped in the beginning which resulted in me cursing myself after the 2nd hill or so. Be interesting to see the timing chip results.

Oh, went to klcc after the run, and Brooks@Isetan was at 30% off, so bought me a pair of Brooks Glycerine (lime green). Time to retire my 2 year old Asics GT2110. I started my love for running with this shoe. We had good times together.

i got position 1277.. but i forgot if the timing is 1hr21min or 1hr11min... run too fast (for me).. after finish..dizzy

vin_ann: Never mind. At least you ran the simulation and roughly will know the experience. Glad you came too despite not running.

meatball88: Glad to have met you too. You did great. Now we wait for the official chip timing to be published. I like the medal actually. Unique design although it's very light. Mixture of pewter and stainless steel I guess. By the way, I'm not so youg anymore lar. I got kiddy face only. Inside engine already old wan.

d3vilzzzz: SInce you are there, why don't you just go and greet them. My photo is in my avatar and I'm sure you have read our blogs. Just come and say hi. Nothing to lose.

tschin1981: First place is the French guy. Super fast wan. I myself will be intersed in knowing his timing. By the way, I don't think the Pacesetters chip system can accomodate staggered start. That esplains that we all start the same time. Sad but true. I was in the middle pack with ccube and some other friends.

thechallenger: You felt dizzy most likely because your glycogen level is low after the run. I experience it before during my earlier days. Replenish with the food n beverage served.

p/s: I would like to express my deep felt gratitude to CCUBE for organising the simulation run the day before the actual race of the Mizuno Wave Run 2008. I believe it has really help those here a lot especially those new to running. THANK YOU!

hi all, i hope you do enjoy the run this morning. as the simulation run show us what is the effect of running Double Hill in the reserve, it was indeed with a lot of downhill (bad for the knees) and a very fast course. i was very surprised with the time I ran and able to sustain that kind of pace throughout. the simulation run on Sat did give me some idea when to push and when to reserve energy for some hill climbs. anyway till the next race !!!!

PENANG BRIDGE LEsS THAN A MONTH AWAY!!!

Yea, biggest malaysian marathon!!!!!!

Grabulasa, if u need another pair of running shoes do let me know as I am selling Saucony. All 2008 models are at 40% discount, anytime better than those offer at the mall (as i believe all those are older models)

biggest in terms of participations of money involved in organizing the race? i thought KLIM is the biggest...

wahh 45min that's fast tschin1981

i complete my at 1:02:31 my watch time will train harder to do better next time

ohh i really wonder how you all look like? i have seen some of metalfreak pic and frank blog
but i cant really cham the face

did when around and ask couple of ppl who are they but got the wrong ppl

anyway hope to join you guy training and hopefully all you sifu out there can share some of the wisdom, i usually train on hill, so up hill is no problem but i notice down hill and flat road i'm slow uncle also over take me

anyway thank's all in advance

Phoenix: My starting line - finish line time (not gun time): 0:55:35
1st 5km: 0:27:59
2nd 5km: 0:26:55
Last 200m: 41 secs

Haha... so got negative split...

My last race for 2008...

sorry.. noob here.. when and where's the next 12km or 15km run ?

navilink: Both are pretty equal actually but Penang attract more runners. Wonder why. But I believe KLIM09 will be HUGE!

lexan: I like your attitude in going around asking people for us. Hope to see you soon.

berukberak: Thanks for the update. Enjoy your rest from running but prepare to have sleepless nights. Hehe...

the challenger: No more for this year. Now it's all majors.

started wayyy behind the crowd. was still lining up with my gf for the toilet when it's going to start about 1-2 minute. reached the ending place about in 1hr, lined up for quite some time. no idea what's my own exact time when i 'tit' the line.

position i remember is 10##. din see properly, evreything was chaotic, including the goodie bag collection.

I used the guard's toilet near ASK.. there were around 5 people lining up (compared to almost 30 at the public ones). Toilet quite clean lah .. since emergency, no choice

hi everyone...

1)anyone knows when the official timing for the mizuno run will be out and how to check for it?

2)anyone knows any blogs with lots of pictures on mizuno run 2008?

3)do pacesetters load pictures of the run on their website like what klang pacers did for their 12km previously?

andychee81: Please wear your watch and use it next time. Don't rely on others. Your own watch is the best timing. And we were looking for you cause Loke you are dressed in yellow like DigiMan. And for a FW3 user, you let the clan down.

meatball88: Mizuno timing you can check at Pacesetters website but it's not loaded up yet. Just check 10 minutes ago. And yeah, you can view the photos at http://penguin-r2.blogspot.com/. It's their official photographers blog.

meatball,

you can check out the photos here, but not sure you will have access to it or not.
