The Accidental First Race @ Mizuno Wave Run

The plan was not to register for any race for the first two months of the year...

And obviously the plan failed completely :P

My running friends: Izuan, Azu and Azim and I decided to sign up and join the race at the last minute... And mind you, this race was going to be my third run of the year... Told you I was taking my time :P

Since it was also my first time running at this event in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), I wasn't expecting anything but just to enjoy the run and the route :) Plus I only had an hour worth of nap before driving down to UPM at 530am!

We were flagged off at 7am... The weather was kind to us runners :) When it comes to runs organised by the Pacesetters Club, you will know that the route will be pretty interesting ;) And indeed it was! Loved the scenic route and the last 1km hill of the 10km route that gave our legs an extra workout before coming back to the stadium ;)

I have to say that the Pacesetters Club did an amazing job for organising the race yesterday... I especially like the running from-and-back-to the stadium... Felt like a real athlete ;) So thank you Mr President, Rustam and his team for a memorable day for the runners yesterday :)

And Alhamdulillah, crossed the finish line with a PB of 58 mins 21 secs :) And also helped a friend to achieve her first sub-1 hour too and met so many running friends that I haven't seen for a while... So those two were my highlights from the race :)

Apprentice and I - We were Yin and Yang ;)
Congrats for finally achieving your sub-1 in your new adios... Another Adizero convert ;) 

With Mr President - Thank you again and looking forward for the next race! :)

With Rosey - finally a pic with you since our last one was in Gold Coast!
Looking forward to more runs and pictures with you this year! ♥

With Izyan - Congrats for getting your sub-1! 
Had fun running with you at the last 1km! :)

Sub-1 runners ;)
Congrats to Azim for getting an a-we-so-me timing of 55 mins ;)
Congrats to Idola for your time of 53 mins (not his PB but still so fast!) ;P
