The 5th Pacemakers Anniversary Run - 30/08/2009

Tapak A,
Taman Tasik Perdana
Kuala Lumpur

Klang Pacers Athletic Club was represented by two teams which were made up of the seniors and also the junior runners.The club decided that the young and new faces should be given exposure to competitive relay races.Only Jayakumar was retained in our elite quartet.

Three fifth formers and a form four student were picked to challenge not only their seniors but other strong competitors from KL as well.The four talented runners represented their respective schools in MSSM recently.

As expected,Ms Georgina Beech led the female runners and she managed to build a huge gap for her Volkswagen GTI Racers team followed behind by another strong female runner,Ms Michelle Tan of Earth,Wind and Fire team.Veteran runner,Ms Lian Bee Hoon of Indian Pacemakers surprisingly came in third and our both girls were held back to 4th and 5th place.

The Volkswagen GTI Racers' second runner,Daniel Tan maintained their lead but our runners were quickly closing in.

Being the defending champion,we were banking on our boys to deliver and to save the club from suffering an ignominious defeat.

When batons changed hand for the second time,both our teams were in front.Vickneswaran,the third runner of our junior team surged to the lead,leaving Naresh Kumar and Jasni Khairil behind.

But the day went to Murali Nathan.He posted an incredibly fast pace of 8 minutes and 27 seconds for the final lap of 2.6km to overtake the junior team and emerged victorious.

Based on their individual timing,both our teams are equally strong except for experience as the seniors are more mature and save the best for the last.

Below are the split timing of our runners

Breakfast Run 6-9-2009

Adidas King Of The Road 2009 - 02/08/2009

It was announced over the loud speaker more than 9,000 signed up for this morning Adidas King of The Road at yet another new venue,the Shah Alam Stadium.

The Menteri Besar of Selangor state,Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim punctually gunned off all the races by stages accompanied by the state executive councillor in charge of tourism,consumer affairs and the environment,Ms Elizabeth Wong and the Shah Alam's mayor.

The weather was cool and nice for a morning run.But participants were treated to endless climbs throughout the race.There were too many roundabouts and hills to endure.Those not familiar with the route never expected it would that tough especially the 22.7km category.

The overall organising was not something to shout about.In the 11km run,there wasn't any distance marker but adequate water stations.Grouses were heard over at the finishing line.No position cards were handed out hence runners did not know the actual number of remaining medals.

Some even complained that there were runners cheated in the race especially during the start.Once registered and given the black ring,some would hide themselves a distance away from the starting line and joined in the race later to their advantage.

It was just another usual race to many,and to those who travelled from outstations the organising was just too plain.No goodies bags.no breakfast,no music,no...The running atmosphere wasn't there.
