Kuala Lumpur City Day Run 2010
21st February 2010
Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur
Distance : 7.56km

The race started promptly with gunned off by Datuk M.Saravanan,the deputy minister of Federal Territories at 7.30am, as usual, all the fast legs were in the front pack. My plan was to follow my nearest rival Suwoto, but it seen that he pushed very hard in the early state. The gap between us was getting further and further. It was more than 100meters behind him at the half way mark. I thought of given out hope of chasing him but to maintain my position. Anyway I managed to close the gap to 50meter at the last hill before reaching the lake Garden traffic light, the gap getting closer to only 15 meters at the traffic light. He kept looking back to watch me and I kept pushing harder trying to overtake him. We were running site by site after the down hill for about 100meters. I managed to overtake him after the bank Negara roundabout and pushed all the way to the finishing line without looking back. My position was 4th in my category. I was very happy with my timing and position but was shock to know that the prizes for winners were the lousiest I have ever seen in my life. I heard some shoes given to winners was worth only RM20 and some of the shoes were wrong size (1 size 9 and 1 size 7).

Prizes for the winners are as follows:-
1st position – 1 cheap power shoes and a bag.
2nd position – 1 cheap power shoes and a bag of cereal.
3rd positon – 1 cheap power shoes and an umbrella.
4th and 5th position – 1 shoe bag only.
