SCKLM 2010 – Race Kit

I successfully collected the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon bibs today, i was planning going early to pick up the race kits at around 12:00 pm; but i was held up in a meeting at Kelana Jaya and only able to reach Lake Titiwangsa around 4:30 pm.

I was quite surprise when entering the Titiwangsa Stadium as i was expecting a large crowd, but the was none. There was a few peeps here and there, and only a long odd queue at the information counter, i guessed some unlucky people are having problems with their registration.

I was there in and out about 10 minutes, no need to queue at the “kandang” as there was quite an empty scene there. I made a bee line towards the bulk collection counter as i was collecting three bibs – mine 21km, the missus 10km and 950 meters Kid Dash for my kid. I gave my printouts of race confirmation and the form “to collect on behalf” to the volunteer at the counter, funny she did not even ask for my MyKad as instructed in KL Marathon website; she then punch some numbers into the computer and voila i got my race kits before i could say “ LAMBATNYA”.

 

Race kit (half marathon) consist of :-

• Bag
• NB Vest
• Bib numbers with D-Tag Timing Chip
• Runners Guide Book
• Power Bar Banana Flavour (collected from Power Bar counter – only for FM & HM)

Category – 21km, 10km and 950 meters

 

I was lucky enough that there was no drama in collecting the race kits, i suggest if you haven’t collect your race kit, you might want to consider coming collecting it after lunch or late afternoon.

The bib was superbly nice, customised with runners name and numbers – an exact copy cat of ENR and NB 15km race kit (this bib is the benchmark for future races bib and timing chip in Malaysia). The vest design is just plain simple but the material is soft and comfy, this will qualify as my future sleeping gown.

Anyway i better ready and bring some cash on the race day, who knows lightning may strike twice and the organizer might suck big time second time in a row. Now here’s to some more tapering and carbo-loading peeps :)
