It was a nice feeling to complete a 21km race after a long break. I only 'train' for a week after a long rest due to sickness after the Perhentian Island Challenge. That challenge literally 'hentikan' my good form and I had to start from scratch 3 weeks of rest!

I reached Setia Alam Welcome Centre 10 minutes before the start. Unfortunately, I could not find a spot for parking and took a wrong turn to go to the building from behind. That was it. Any way, since my target was just to complete and not compete I just walked slowly to keep my luggage after parking along the road which was about half a kilometres away!

I took about 30 minutes to catch up with those tail end runners. There I found out that I was about 12 minutes late!

I started to walk and run with 9km to go. Not really due to out of breadth but more of a bad habit.

Anyway, to complete in less than 2hrs 30mins is good enough... the standard cut off time for finishing medals for the distance.
