13th Jogathon Warisan 2013 @ Thean Hou Temple

Joined a 10km (9.07km according to Suunto Ambit) fun run on 21st april, dubbed as “Jogathon Warisan” at Thean Hou Temple, Kuala Lumpur. surprising lots of runners joined, stated 6000 runners by official. It is a well organized event with enough water supply and foods right after the run.

Hospital Sungai Long Fun Run (14th April 2013)

A great 8.4KM fun run held by the organiser: Hospital Sungai Long, well organized with programmes run on-time as scheduled (ex: good job on registration, warm up session, run starts on time). Surprisingly, there are lots of peoples participate on the run where i heard there are only 50+ peoples joined while i’m registering weeks ago, and it seems there are few hundreds on actual day.

Soft rain through out the whole run, not much traffics in Sungai Long on Sunday as usual except for the Cheras-Kajang highway part. Can see the escort team on each junction points working hard on directing traffics with the help of police.

Two water station set up at around 3KM point (Mahkota Cheras nearby Nissan showroom) and 6KM near by Institut Pengurusan Veterinar at Jalan Sungai Long. The best of all, organisers team will deliver you water + bread to you right after you crossed finishing point (last year’s PJ Dawn is a shame where there are no drinking water for slower runner that arrived late).

Hospital Sungai Long Fun Run 2013

Surprise suprise! shocked me when i saw the flyers and banners hanging around Sungai Long. This will be the first run in Sungai Long after staying here for almost 9 years. The route will cover a little bit of Sungai Long, turn into Mahkota Cheras, out to the Cheras-Kajang highway and back to Sungai Long Hospital. From the flyers, seems like you will getting lots of free gifts + lucky draws from the organizers, good for runners. Run Details as below,

    Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra 2 GTX and Mizuno Wave Rider 15 Review

    World of Outdoor and Mizuno at The Garden on October, some items discount to 30% and some of the past season shoes reduced up to 50% which is irresistible for me. In result, 2 pair of shoes as below,

    i) Salomon XA Pro 3D ULTRA 2 GTX

    My Timberland 57166 aged more than 3 years, lugs are consumed to lost it’s grip and outsoles are getting lesser to the point it hurts my legs during long hours hike. Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra 2 GTX are basically the best pair i have ever put on feet, excellent grip on any surface encountered, feels protected, excellent stability, lightweight and breathable. The GTX version stands for GORE-TEX® Fabrics which helps stay dry and comfortable.

    As most of the Salomon Trail running shoes, it comes with Quiklace system, OrthoLite® footbeds and Sensifit™, with extra features such as Protective rubber toe cap, 3D advanced chassis™ and Energy Cell 2.

    ii) Mizuno Wave Rider 15 (Lime Punch-Anthracite)

    Basically the same shoe as previous Mizuno Wave Rider 15 (Anniversary Limited Edition), bought an extra one since the previous’s soles is getting lesser on the forefoot area. Been running it for few months, and these is what i found:

  • On 20KM easy run, the extra cushion on forefoot does help to avoid ball foot from hurting
  • Running 6KM fast on flat road with Mizuno Waver Rider feels effortless
  • Mizuno Wave Rider 15 is not a rock magnet like Salomon XR Crossmax, which is good
  • Brooks Half Marathon 2013

    Nike We Run KL 2012: Race Day

    *Update: Official race result available here: Nike We Run KL 10k 2012 Race Result

    Been heavy raining since morning, and it haven’t fully stopped until the race started. Massive crowds, fortunately with organizing team’s past experiences, they managed it well, such as: SMS notification, well organized roads closure, wider path for run, water station for every 2km, dance performances on the route and the amazing performance from Miss Nina after the race.

    However, i do find the morning race of previous Nike We Run is better, in the concern of safety, visibility (numbers of runner still passing through finishing line on 7.30pm), transportation (some participants are from other states) and photography (photographer needs to boost higher ISO for faster shutter due to low light).

    Here are some photos from the race event,
