I posted an earlier entry relating runners timing, whether to take Gun Time or Chip Time/Net Time as our timing. Most runners responded through my comments section indicated that i should take Chip Time/Net Time as my timing, i agreed with Syah’s perspective that we should take the time when we cross the Starting line and completed it later after crossing the Finish line. The Gun time is to determined winners and placing among the runners, especially important to the Elite runners.
A visit to marathon-photos.com confirm Syah’s theory, found four pictures of me crossing the Finish line and they took my Net Time as my official timing. I did not expect a PB coz i was running my own maiden SCKLM race and was lacking of energy, which reminds me to refer to the Otais/Kings/Ultras to share their experiences and knowledge in strategizing running races.
PB is a bonus but the most important thing is to enjoy the race itself. Like Haza used to said in her blog, every race is like a little story in your running chapters.
My placing/rank at 732 of 3763 HM runners is not bad. As mentioned in the previous entry, i was calm and not nervous at all for this SCKLM race, it might be due to the familiarity of the Kuala Lumpur race route, if i were to run in foreign place it might be a different story.
I just love the SCKLM route, mostly flat and then its rained before the race started, another bonus. It’s kind of weird, during the run i was feeling kind of bored. Did i had enough of Half Marathon? Is it time to upgrade to Full Marathon now? I think not yet, let’s enjoyed running injury free and gain more running experiences before FMVing next year, hopefully we the new batch of FMV will be given the same stupendous support next year.
Ok guys enjoyed your Zero week and hope to see most of you in the coming Seremban Half, like Diket said in his recent posting, our Circle of RBUs is getting bigger and i spent most the time today reading race reports from more than 10 fellow RBUs blogs. We need more bloggers to run and more runners to blog.
Where got I said that?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, told you it's a PB. Congrats! See us at Seremban Half, ya?
Ok bro, I plan to FMV next year too, Insya Allah. Let's do it together. For the meantime, see you in Seremban.

Ray, you dont have to wait for next year to do FM. PBIM pon dah boleh buat... c'mon bro. Why waste too much time when you can do it now? My 1st FM was only my 5th race. It came after a 30k, a 10k and 2HMs. A lot of peeps do it even much earlier. Nov is 5 months away and you have ample time to prepare. C'mon we run FM Penang!
