Insurance & Takaful Walk 2008-20/07/2008

Dataran Merdeka,Kuala Lumpur.
Only 5 KPAC members took part in this walking event which was organised by the Malaysian Insurance Institute with the assistance of FTAAA.

There wasn't any difference compared to running races,the walking racing attracted many participants.But based on my observation,regular and hardcore runners were missing from the scene.l'm not in the position to tell the differences between running and fast walking,maybe somebody out there is willing to explain.What l know is,without proper fast walking techniques,both my legs got stiff and fast tiring.And at the end of the race my legs wobbled.

The participants were treated to a vigorous warm up session by 3 fitness instructors just before the race was gunned off.The first to go was the 7 km walk for the open category for both members of MII and public at 7.30 am, followed by 5 km for the veterans 10 minutes later.

The same undulating route seems to be further than usual and many were caught running and were cautioned and warned by race officials.It was a different scenario as everybody was swinging their hips and briskly walk like ducks back from its' evening walk.
