Putrajaya Night Marathon 2011

I took part in Putrajaya Night Marathon 2011 last month. My very first night marathon. Really enjoy running marathon lately, the satisfaction and achievement I get when crossed the finish line cannot be expressed in words. My 10K race was scheduled to start at 8.30pm, but I went there much earlier to beat the traffic.

Organized by Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN)

There was no breeze that night, so I was all hot and sticky real soon. It didn't make the run any easier too.



The beginning of the run was kinda chaotic. Everyone was very excited, wanting to make a good start. But after 1-2 kilometres, the crowd slowly ease out. The run was quite smooth, and songs blasting from my iPhone was a great compliment. Towards the end, all I was thinking is the nice cold Milo they have for us. LOL!



Managed to complete the race under 1:20:00. Not sure of the exact time, but according to my Nike Boom app, it was around 1:19:xx. Will be missing the next few runs including Nike We Run KL, as it's quite close to my finals. Hopefully, for the next marathon I'll be able to top my current record :)
