What: Merentas Desa Pulau Pinang
Where: Teluk Kumbar, Pulau Pinang
Category: B Junior Veteran 6km
Bib Number: 3158
Route: Convoluted! kampung roads, sandy beach, vegetable farm. Not so hilly
Fun factor: 4/5
Finish time: 58:43
Jolted awake at 6am. Rushed to prepare, and by 6:20am was outta the house. Sorta got lost en-route in the dark streets, arrived at venue about 6:40am. Assembled at the Dewan Perda Teluk Kumbar, warmed up, etc until flag off at 7:30 pm. Since I'm in no shape to "race", I started from the back. Main road, kampung road, slight hill, then downhill, still kampung road, then sandy beach, where I just walked about 1km, then kampung road sommore, vegetable farm, kampung road and back to the Dewan Perda. Dashed to the finish, but no more medals. Received my cert, then the usual hunting for post-run refreshments.
Overall, I ran just as I saw fit, speeding on the downhills, walking when too kaputed. Finish time is BAD for 6km, lol. My fitter friend from the office, same category, finished in 51 mins. Ach!
OK that's it.
