just take it easy man...dont take it too seriously, when the race starts go with the flow...rely on your own pace it'll carry you through the distance sure can finish!!
Seriously forget about carboloading if your doing 5 or 10KM, there are even races in Penang where they dont provide water for 10km runs, which im sure there will be for SCKLM, and i personally dont even carbo load for 21km's just take a sip of water and banana before the start my long run,

as for your PowerBar yes, definitely it helps as it replenishes energy to your muscles, there's not only Powerbar infact some of us here take other brands as well like Weider IN but to put it simple terms yes it all works depends on individual which one give's them that extra energy to go longer ...
*
So without carbo loading..wat is ur pb for a half or full?

n sorry ppl.. 10km is nt a marathon.. a marathon is 42.2km icon_idea.gif

10km is a quarter marathon.
anyway ppl who finish an ironman are called ironman, but techinically and based on history only the winner is called ironman. so guess no harm calling a 10km finisher a marathoner? or maybe a quarter marathoner?
*
Only the winner is the ironman? Realli hmm.gif me tots all finishers are ironman..

haha.. u are lucky also. I've four runners who are without bibs. Two of them have their race pack (ie bag + vest) but no tag/bib. Waiting for SCKLM ppl to revert.

The other two of them were not even given their race pack coz the guy there said if there's no tag number, you come back to collect your full set tomolo!!! And they waited 4 hrs plus the sys down around 4pm!!!  rclxub.gif

What is your situation nw?
Did you speak to the running authorities?



BIB COLLECTION

Hi all!

My experience!

I went to DM to collect my stuff oni today at around 12pm++ tongue.gif
The place was so so EMPTY!! I expected more of a crowd..

Just like you all I encountered prbs..
I was informed that a "Jack Tan" collected my bib on my behalf with an AUTHORIZATION letter!!

The issue was resolved with me given a diff bib no. laugh.gif
My initial bib no. was actually for the "ELITE" category..
I had a dude then with "access to all runner records" ammend the initial bib no. I was given..

Apparently there was MAJOR CHAOS yest according to one of the volunteers there..
eg wrong vest size, com sys crashing, mix up records

Till the next time i m seen here, G LUCK ALL RUNNERS thumbup.gif

MY EXPERIENCE

I ran the half marathon..
I arrived at DM around 3++ though as i was afraid i may nt be able to find a good parking spot..
And the nite before I slept only around 12.30pm sad.gif nt bcoz i was partying or nt bcoz i din respect the run but coz a very close relative held his wedding dinner..

I slept in me car for abt an hr and then went to see the full marathoners take off laugh.gif
I managed oni to spot pm1 and nt marvin, ccube and the rest, I hwever managed to see SAMUEL WANJIRU!! starstruck.jpg
It was raining at that point in time..
Me then went bk to me car to sleep another hr, and hv me power bar before MY START!

I started the race at the bk of the pack which was nt so good for me timing as according to the RUNNERZ GUIDE BOOK given, timing is recorded base on gun off time!!
I have nvr seen so many ppl run a half before
It was close to 3 minutes before me turn to reach the start line..
Having cross the start line, I ran at a real delicious pace..I overtook many by running on the pavements where ever possible..
My pace was great (Just a gut feeling as though I was wearing a watch me forgot to start it blush.gif ) as those I overtook didn't overtake me bk..
I saw 10km twice! the first for the marathoners and the on the road in spray 10/21 -no big markers
My pace hwever had to REALLI REALLI slow dwn when the route merged with the 10k runners route!
There were just so many ppl!! I can safely say all of them were practically walking tongue.gif Don't talk abt weaving in and out as it was close to impossible..
The good thing though LOTSA EYE CANDY

However around the 16/17 km i could feel pains in me pain like under me lungs and in me tummy (nt the stich kind though).. i had to result to cadence running till the finish line and open my stride again only in the last 200m, couldn't take advantage of the dwnhills..No power gels taken and oni 1 cup of water along the way..

I completed the run according to gun off time in 1'50 but I would guess it should be a 1'47 run but the again if the route didn't merge with the 10k route I could hv ran a 1'45 and 1'44..
Mebbe i shudn't start at the bk anymore sad.gif

A few things bummed me out:
1. Merging of routes
2. Lack of distance markers despite the guide book saying markers being available every KM
3. Being unable to depend on available markers as color codes were diff -markers seem to be oni for the marathoners
5. Seeing reebok the main sponsor packing up around 4hrs into the marathon
5. Lack of water stations for the full marathoners
6. Insufficient support for marathoners after 6hrs

Well, another race completed thumbup.gif

KLCC @ 22.5k and KLCCC @ 25k - Emptied bottles. If it was a tad earlier, I would have drank from the Convention Centre's fountain.

20k, 27.5k, 30k, 32.5k, 35k, 39.5k - Stations gone. Go figure!

Why I am so bising? Well.. I am not a serious runner like most members in this thread. You guys are fast and furious. I was in it just for fun and to challenge myself. Therefore, I was hoping for fun and excitement. You know, like doing "it" for the first time. But I didn't get that.

Many runnerz sought for their water source.
Eg. buy frm mamak and 7 -11

Don't let this dampen ur spirits..
It is of no doubt that the organizers were terrible in this race/ event..

I guess it was lack of training. Although cramps hit me slightly, I manage to utilize my quads more for running..Could have done a better timing if I had trained harder and earlier.

but really kena super cramp right before the finishing line. Aih. myself to blame. I guess I should have read more about running stuff.

Thank God for the senior runners here. Really know how to help me with my cramps wei. He pressed my right leg where it was swollen...near above the knee cap.. $%^#$%#@$@# farking painful.

Like I said tongue.gif I would finish it even though i have to limp. I walked with my left leg and dragged my right leg side ways. damn malu sial.

Seriously wonder how the last picture is gonna turn out LOL

Most important is the FINISH.. U FINISHED! laugh.gif thumbup.gif

I was actually tempted to drink from the sponge pail but that would be too gross - picked up leftover bottles intead.. whatever that I can find by the roadside left by previous runners. Hopefully you didnt have to run @ Jalan Istana / Mahameru without the cones - that would be a disaster.

@d3vilzzzz
Most of them didnt bring money. I even had to take donation from another runner. I finally found her on FB - gonna have to belanja her makan or something biggrin.gif

Hey,

hw long hv u been running?

knee pains realli are a contribution of many factors; nt enough training is one of them
rest assured though the Jazz12 is a shoe with GREAT cushioning..
