An elite runner friend sms me & asked why lama sangat I didn't update my blog, sudah banyak ada jala labah-labah. Thanks for still remembering this blog.

Before we went to Hong Kong for holiday, we managed to search for this event & have signed up for the a one mile dash special race, organised by the Kwun Tong district on 29 Nov 09 in conjunction of the East Asia Game 2009. The race was in Kwoloon Bay Stadium. Although not many participated but there were many strong and fast runners took part (imagine - hardcore marathoners and kaki bomba).

Registration fees was HK20 - HK10 / RM10 - RM5 (very cheap), they provided a nice design T-shirt, bib no. with personal name, a lot of souvenier (magnet, pen, mouse pad,note pad, toy, photo frame etc).

4 categories (men open below 35, men master above 35, women open below 35, women master above 35) with 10 trophies each. No finisher medals and it seems that in Hong Kong, podium trophies for top 3 are common. We took part in the Men Master (35 above) and Women Open (below 35).

Mujur dapat satu trophy for the women open - 5th placing. For the Men Master nearly got the 'amkan' position 11, but to avoid getting the 'amkaness' feeling, we gave the 11th placing to another guy and opted for position 12 instead. He he.
