Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2017

It's Sunday but still have to wake up very early, at 4.30am as today is my 2nd running event in 2017. Have registered Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2017 10km run a few months ago and after all the training, today would see my training result. Targeted to complete the run within 1 hour as I never did that after reaching my age at 40.

Went to Bandar Puchong to fetch another 2 friends before heading to nearby LRT since all major roads were closed, would be hassle to drive to the event place.

We were supposed to take the LRT at Kinrara BK5 station but it was not opened. We rushed to Sri Petaling station but also closed. Ended at Bandar Tasik Selatan LRT station. We understand that all the LRT stations would start operation from 2am onward but 2 stations were closed. Strange !!!
But after verifying the information again, the website stated on selected stations will commence operations from 2am.

 It's 5.58am when we arrived here and my event started at 6.45am, started to think whether I could arrive the place in time.

Fortunately, arrived in time, still able to join in the warm up session before the run started 5 minutes later after the warm up.

Finished my run at about 7.41am, some participants already came back.

Another thumbs up picture for me. Look at the timer, full marathon already started 4 hours ago.

How well was my run, here is the time. :)

This is the official time downloaded from the apps.

Finisher medal

Notice that the word Cycling which was supposed to be Running. I selected the wrong mode during the event, guess it was too rushed and sky was dark, I didn't really look carefully. 

Anyhow, I am satisfied and happy with the timing that I achieved....10.60 km in 56 minutes !
