KL Tower Towerthon Challenge 2010

My 1st podium in an international event

picture courtesy from Bro. Tey,  

My Towerthon results in the past, present, and future:

• 2006: 19.55 - I ran faster, but I did not train on any staircases.
• 2009: 18.23 (13th place) - I trained only twice before the race by climbing 17 stories three times and four times.
• 2010: 17.06 (2nd place) - I trained for four weeks, climbing staircases two times in the first week, four times in the second week, five times in the third week, and four times during race week.
• 2011: My target time is 16.10, and I plan to train for eight weeks before the race.

At this year's race, most of the top runners and Thailand's runners participated. I ran with confidence, knowing that I was well-prepared for this race. Despite heavy congestion during the staircase climb, I finished with a time of 17.06 and won 1st runner up in men's senior vet category. I am thrilled with my performance and will remember it for a long time. Cheers!

I did not spend extra time training for this race, but I converted my usual running time into staircase climbing, and it worked! Next year, I plan to spend more time training on staircases to improve my time further.

Walau, like that also can be disqulified... next time must read the registration form well. Men Junior veteran cat, is for age 40-49 year old only. Any fast runners with the age 50 and above can be disqulified for running in this catagory. Anyway, this is not a big issue because this will only effect a few runners in Malaysia.


Feeling fresh at the last 100m.

So happy to see the finish line
