This was our 1st Olympic Day run and looking around, I gathered this event is most popular among school children. Happily, we joined in the fun and might be lucky to get a medal if we try or run hard enough. With a cheap fee of RM10.00, we had nothing to lose except lose some fat and burned off some calories on a beautiful Sunday morning.
Most runners were seen wearing the McD tee shirt which comes in red, yellow, green and blue. I felt giddy looking at it. While at the waiting area, I was momentarily transported back to my school days when I represented green color in sports. Hmm...not a time to daydream at that moment for I had a task to do, to finish at least in 50th position to secure a medal. Looks far-fetched but in the end it's the effort put in that matters the most.
Gun off at 7.30 a.m sharp. The distant was a short 7 km with 3 torturing hills that I love to hate which were along Jalan Tunku right up to Jalan Parlimen. Water station at 3/4 km mark and quite disappointed because only plain water was served. With the sun already out and blazing hot, 100 plus would be a nice. About 1km to the finish line along Padang Merbok, I saw Azza (bib no. E5244) hehehe...I tried to give chase, to say 'Hi' and surprise her but my tired legs had me walking instead :( I should have whip out my camera and snap her rear view hahaha ...(just kidding). Maybe, next time...
At the end of the run, we had a cup of coke and immediately left the venue.

See what happen when you get Mc Attack!! So, that was our lunch that afternoon and putting back the calories and adding a couple more back to our system!! :) Ha ha.
I like this advertising board. It's so colorful.
A Certificate of Participation. Only 50 medals were allotted under my category and there are many good runners out there.
Till the next running event, Cheers for now.
