Nike City 10k KL

10th October, 2010




Nike Tag line : Just Do It.          
My Tag line   : I Did It.






We came in peace not war.

Look who I bumped into at the starting line...tententen... non other than Azza busy sms-ing away.  I could easily spot her today without her fmv vest.

Start and End point at KLCC Jalan Binjai car park. The 5km runners on the left and 10km runners on the right, being divided by the row of plants. We were all gun off at the same time. It was really crowded at the start  until the split of the 2 groups at about 4km. It was much  easier to maneuver in between foot traffic from then onwards. Phew...

This was the 1st time I had seen so many people wearing the same tee shirt on the same day for the same purpose. I think it's pretty awesome. Not too thrill about the color though but with our bib no. printed on it,  all runners  must wear the event tee. With  each having a different bib no.  it makes it one of its kind in the world. As long as it is comfy, I don't mind even if I glow in the dark. That's the  whole idea I think to glow, be seen and be safe while running on the street.

Still waiting for the gun off at 7.15 am. Till now don't know what to expect. Suspense!!!

Hey dude, whats up??

I was so looking forward to this run and I came, I ran and I thoroughly enjoyed it all. Running through the streets of KL bypassing the shopping complexes and taking in the sights of KL's beautiful skyline at the highway. Oh, shoot!! Could have taken more pictures but too bad the memory card was full. Must rectify this problem...soon! There were deejays at 4 different locations along the route. It was very entertaining and kept  our  mood going and keeping us strong.  Also had pom-pom girls cheering us on. There were never a dull moment at all.

Along Akleh highway. Thankfully, the weather was good and not hot that morning, otherwise we could be half baked under the sun.

 
Had a quick snapshot before walking back to KLCC under ground car park.

Thanks to pmtey for this picture of Herman. Couldn't find mine. It is not possible to capture everyone.

 The finisher award. Aiya...Why can't Nike give us something better...Just do It lah....

Checked my Nike+ sports band. Finished  the 10km run in 1hr 17m. That's  my contribution for this challenge. We run KL...yeay!!
