RMAF Half Marathon

Initially , we were not keen for this run as they only had 21K for the civilians. The attraction point for this run was the airplane runaway ; we get to run on the runaway early in the morning ! Then , Azad's colleague said that it was not a problem to fit us into the 10K run , just change the birth date !!hence ; Veterans 10k.. hahahaha
We arrived near the Sungai Besi base a bit late. The police have closed all the entry point to the base. We panicked a bit and had to park our car at a nearby BHP station along Jalan Tun Razak.Mind you , it was scary crossing the busy highway even at 7am in the morning !!! It was close to 7am and the 21k runners have started their run. We rushed to the base gate and luckily there was a shuttle bus ! But by the time we have arrived , our group started miles away about 10 minutes away ! By the time we reached the starting point , everybody there cheered for us ! LAMBAT !! LAMBAT !!!

As you can see , we were the "sweepers"
It was a cool run as we cruise along the runaway. It was wide open and i don't think you get the chance to run on the runaway like this anywhere else !

orang dah start jalan dah.. belum 2 KM lagi..
I was wearing my new Adidas shirt i bought in Langkawi. It was supposed to be dry-fit and suits a runner. The most important thing was not to get my nipples injured !! Hahahahaha he only thing about this shirt was it was a bit "tummy-hugging" thus the reason for why wifey laughed at me when i wore it last night. "Mid-life crisis" - Ada hati.... she said !
The track was fun and flat most of the time. It was interesting as we crossed Seputeh , we went across the Chinese cemetary.. heks , it would be interesting if it was organized at night ! Spooky huh... We managed to finish the race in respectable times. It was fun and a real happening run and i would surely want to try the 21K next year..

Yes, next time the 21km. At the end of the runway, nasib baik I tak take-off. Heheh... (I think I can be the cargo planes, too fat to be a jet for now.)
