I joined this race just for fun and to check how my left knee are doing after battling Brooks Half Marathon 2 weeks before. After Brooks HM, I did not train at all as I'm trying to prolong the health of my left knee.
During the race the left knee fells good, holding up very well. Maybe all I needed actually is a very good rest before start to run again.
So from now on, my target will be 1 running event per month and 1 cycling event per month so my left knee will have the rest it needed. In between event I will be doing some light excercise, running or cycling just to make maintain my stamina.
Lets see how the plan work out after a couple of weeks.
The route was 8km only by sports-tracker are showing 9.23km. Maybe something wrong with my phone, wrong setting somewhere. Finishing the route with almost no elevation for almost an hour is quite a bad feat.
I was running out of breath from KM 1. After that every KM was a struggle. The weather did not help either. The heat was quite unbearable as the race only start at 7.35am. They should had started it earlier, at 7.00am maybe.
To summarize it all up, with only RM5 race fee, a dri fit running vest, good distance, a lot of volunteers manning the traffic and 2 water station ( even though they did not serve isotonic drink) this was very much a successful event.
Lets join again next year!
