KLSCM 2025 - Half Marathon
Reflection (race report soon)

It was my “A” race. All preparation was on point. I was all prepared to break my 2024 timing (1:37:29).

That was 16 weeks ago.

This morning, it was a good race. 1:39:11.

Everything went the way I wished it did. Sub-100 minutes. No sandbagging the effort, threshold power all the way, even renewed my 10km timing I did in 2024 route. Fuelling was on point.

A lot to be grateful for.

We go again to attempt to renew the timing - come whatever the course may be at KLSCM 2026.

Hilly? U-turn? Crowded? Missed two or three water stations? If it was tough for you, it’s tough for everyone. What sets you apart is how you show up.

And keep showing up. It is always Day One.

Thank you for all the cheers, the hi-5s, the wait. You all are way more awesome than my run this morning; and I had a pretty good one under all circumstances and challenges.

KLSCM 2025 - Half Marathon

Keep Showing Up

The Brooks Hyperion Elite 5

Officially available at all Brooks Running store right.

I have ran about 90km on this pair, which include a 30km distance during Man of Steel 163 and the Aleps Ekiden - a perfect mixture of both long run and a speedy 5km.

Having tried all generation of the Elite series, this latest addition to the family of speedster provide both cushioning, propulsion and stability like never before.

DNA Gold which is PEBA foam in higher volume than Elite 4PB adds energy return without increasing the stack height (40mm race legal) while reducing the weight to sub 200g even for a US12 is impressive.

Go see and try them at Brooks Running at the KLSCM REPC - and it may just tease you to run in one.

Man of Steel 163

Bare my soul in this race.

Photographers immortalised it.

This race was my longest distance clocked since 2019. It was meant to be a comeback. It was close to being a comeback.

Swim: Putrajaya lake felt forever. Butterflies in stomach. The thought of stopping after first buoy. Fought the devil. Past first loop, still contemplating to stop. Went on. Sighting was on point. Went better than planned.

Bike: 15-16-17-19-21 that was the only cogs I had functioning. 10 speed chain don’t work well on 11 speed cassettes. Chain drop on the climb. Gear skip on the speed. 80% FTP. Zero punctures. Fuelling on-point. It’s not about the bike. Went on plan.

Run: Solid first 15. Walked-run next 5. Walked following 5. Ran last 5. Home Binister kept me company. She was walking faster than I am, on sandals. I am on latest high tech plated supershoe. Quit? Yes. Quit. No. Yellow tents looked near but far. Heart breaking. Dead zones everyone. Saved by hi-5s. Fuelled only by DNF monster gaslighting. Absolutely did not go as planned. Biggest disappointment.

Bonus: finished with zero injuries. Sore muscles from insufficient long run mileage. Opportunity to correct what I lack. Maybe 2026 with new age group (50-59) I be luckier. Hopefully stronger.

Gift: Friends. Supporters. My home binister . Photographers on the race course. Capturing raw emotions everything you can experience. Think (of movie) Inside-Out.

Thank you .official and .my for the slot, the gears, the fuels, the support and the trust to carry the brands in this race, which is a big privilege.



📸 thank you personally to .shooots for immortalising my soul with your talent.

Reflection

As age catches up, I realised I may not have a lot more time not to push the boundaries.

So I signed up for my first race in 2025.

We are back in business to break those personal records.
