New Balance Pacesetters 30Km 2010

Hey folks! The photos for the New Balance Pacesetters 30km run is out.

Our superheroine, Lavin The Sexy Plaster Girl attempted her first 30km successfully. Look at her pics, no sweat! Not far behind were our two hot sexy mamas, Vivienne and Cheryl who ran the 20km run with improved timings since their first try of the 21km at the Penang Bridge International Marathon. Looks like Lady Power rising at Kota Kemuning Pacers Club!

Agnes surprised us this time round by participating in the 10km run only at the last minute, accompanied by her friend, Steven (not Captain Steven) and Vivienne's son, Sean. Sadly no photos for the 10km finishers as they ended at a different corner.

It was an unusual day though at the guys' camp when our captain and alternate captain, Steven and Ray were nowhere to be seen at the finish line. They had become 'phanthom-runners' at the 30km run as they had not sign up. Instead they ran the distance in support of our members who had participated as well as part of their training for the upcoming Putrajaya Night Marathon.

For our other male members, you guys as usual are the powers to be ... Bernard, Edmund, Fun, Nick and Riq ... no sweat to complete the 30km judging from the happy faces at the finish line. Even Bernard's Uncle came in with big smile.

Congratulations to all for a great run and well-improved finish. Check out our photo album over at this link.

Malakoff 12km 2009

An interesting morning ... it was indeed an interesting run today.



This year's run was very well organised without any hiccups or anything in between to complain about. However, the following surprises were surely worth mentioning:-

1. No run for Captain Steven today! He had to contend to being on the sideline with the cheering crowd due to the pain on his right knee. Possibly an injury sustained during the PBIM last month. We know his feet was itching to run since he had his gear all ready just in case. But alas, it's a risk not worth taking if he does not want to be on the sideline again in the coming Putrajaya Night Marathon.
   
   

2. A race to a marriage proposal ... ha! a special occasion indeed. We were all at awe when a young chap ran across the finish line with a bouquet of roses in his arm. Upon crossing the finish line, he made the beeline for a pretty lass among the spectators, knelt down and you got it! A newly engaged couple! Wonder when's the wedding day? Who knows ... perhaps one of these days, a bride and groom might be running with you to a wedding reception at the finish line. Wow! then all the runners can toast "Yam Seng" to the lucky couple.
   
   

3. During the New Balance KPAC Half-Marathon on 7 June 2009, Captain Steven gave his half-marathon medal to Lavin as a reward promised to her for finshing the 10km race as a phanthom runner.
   
   Today, Lavin so graciously extended her appreciation to our captain with her own medal achieved today. They are truly passionate runners with big hearts.
   
   

Everyone who crossed the finish line today went home with a finisher medal. Well done ya all!

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009

The annual Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 completed successfully on 6 December 2009 where 2 members from Kota Kemuning Pacers made their first attempt triumphantly.


Edmund ... The Running Rooster, who started his running hobby in February 2008 had only recently on 28 June 2009 completed the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon well within his target of 4:30 hours. Although he had not met his targeted completion in 4:15 hours for this marathon, his feat that finished at 4:22:22 hours is indeed as glorious. Well done and CONGRATULATIONS Edmund! We certainly share your aspiration to complete the next year's Singapore Marathon at sub-4 hours.



For CG Lim, the Singapore Marathon was his maiden try in a full marathon. Having only started his running hobby in October 2008, Lim's running abilities has certainly developed from strength to strength and culminated in his completion of the 42.195km race in 4:55:55 hours. Only a week upon his return from the race, Lim is already in training for the coming Putrajaya Night Marathon in February 2010. CONGRATULATIONS! You've definitely caught the running bug!



To our 2 members and certainly to all who had crossed the finish line at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009, you can now proudly say, "I am a finisher!"

A Talk At The Matahari Club, Bukit Rimau

Yesterday evening, Kota Kemuning Pacers were invited to give a talk about running activities during a 'POTBLESS' organised by the church members from the Assembly of God. It was an unexpected surprise to have been given the recognition to conduct such a talk.

Once again, we would like to thank the organisers of the 'POTBLESS' for extending us the opportunity to 'PLY OUR TRADE'. We sincerely hope that we have succeeded to relay the message to all the attendees on the general idea of "STAYING HEALTHY THROUGH SHARING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS AND THE COMMUNITY".

As our slogan goes, "Running is real and relatively simple" and it's applicable to everyone. Running is indeed real as each and everyone of us are born with this natural gift. Simple because we are in control ... we are constantly in the driver's seat ... we decide when we choose to just get up and GO!

For all the other members of Kota Kemuning Pacers who could not join us at the 'POTBLESS', here's a little glimpse into the array of home-cooked food and the activities held yesterday.

Larian Rakyat: Another Star Is Born!

Larian Rakyat was held this morning at I-City, Section 7, Shah Alam in conjunction with the 64th birthday of DYMM Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.

An estimated 1,500 people signed up for the run consisting the 7km, 10km and family-run categories. Proceeds from the run will be donated to the "Tabung Bantuan Bencana Alam" and other charitable organisations.

In today's Larian Rakyat, another star was born! Sandy who decided to participate in the 7km run at the last minute, bagged her very first medal today. She also brought her "lucky star" with her as she won a present at the Lucky Draw. CONGRATULATIONS SANDY! May this be a stepping stone to more medals in the near future.

Another feat was achieved by our super-heroine, "Lavin The Sexy Plaster Girl" who completed the women 10km category in the 5th position. This time she bagged a cash prize of RM100.00 too. Hey Girl, you rock! Run on!

Also not forgetting our Captain's 'ling' ... Cheryl! She too finished well at the 10th position in her category for the 7km run and 'ran away' with one of the limited medals on offer. CONGRATS Cheryl!

Catch all the actions on this link and see if you can find yourself running towards the finish line. CHEERS!

Salomon X-Trail Run 2009

For the past week, it certainly looks like it is going to be a muddy affair at the Salomon X-Trail Run in Taman Lembah Kiara. Fortunately, came 6 December 2009, we were blessed with a beautiful morning, albeit some slight drizzle by mid-morning. I guess for some it certainly made the trail run all the more exciting. Well, rain or shine, some of our members had come prepared with their "Adidas Kampong".

The inaugural Salomon X-Trail Run 2009 took off almost 20 minutes late, with close to 800 participants taking part in the 10km and 4km runs. The marshalls did not seem to be well briefed as they were even unsure in which direction the run will start. Some participants came back frustrated when they were pointed in the wrong direction inside the trail. One angry participant complained that he was directed onto the same path twice, losing his time and energy. Even the top 3 runners were not spared as they cross the finish line in the wrong direction, catching everyone by surprise!

Even before the race day, most participants had already felt they were short-changed when they collected their T'shirts. They were not issued according to the requested sizes. The smallest was 'M' and being of larger cut, the T'shirts would definitely be oversized, especially for most women participants.

All participants who completed the run will be entitled to the Salomon pouch. With an entrance fee of RM60.00, one would expect to take home a good condition pouch. When one of our member requested for a replacement for his defective pouch, the counter-staff tried to do a on-the-spot repair work! Cheap ... really cheap.

Anyway, amid all the frustrations and grouses, well done to all our members and everyone who completed the run, irrespective they were on the right route, delayed or lost. Let's hope the organisers will be more organised and coordinated next year.



Our photo album is now ready for viewing in Part 1 & Part 2. Click and see if you can find yourself crossing the finish line. Cheerio!!!
