the race venue
dearie relaxing at the hotel (Seremban Inn)
Dinner. my silly idea..Oopss.
I deprived my dearie of good hawker food with this..but he looks like he's enjoying it hor? =P
1st time i'm seeing a cheque with 3 signatories.
it seems like dearie is SHARING his prize money with me.. hehe..i'm trying to pry it out from his hands actually...hohoho
Dearie's impressive timing. V impressive for a 21k.
My timing. Not fantastic but my personal best.
Our lunch before departing Seremban. Ah Dee Lou Shu Fen. Yummmyyyy..but guilty la..( will post the Hakka Mee soon!)
I’m back! The trip to Seremban was fantastic and I enjoyed myself tremendously. Why?
1. Seremban is only 3 hours drive away from Singapore. The travelling wasn’t that taxing on dearie =)
2. The food was absolutely fabulous! We tried the famous must-tries: Tow Kee Hakka Mee and Lou Shu Fen..yummy yummy.. we could have eaten a good dinner but thanks to my stupid suggestion, we ended up eating tortillas and bbq chicken.
3. Dearie brought me to the movies! We caught Obsessed. The movie was mediocre but the company made all the difference =)
4. Both of us did a PB during the race =) Dearie came in 10th in the men’s’ closed category with a timing of 1.28 while I came in 12th in the women’s open at 1.56. Dearie won rm100 prize money! Woohoo! It was a hilly run but the route was good. Not so crowded.. traffic was ok.. and the whole race was well organized. Best of all, the weather was great; cloudy and windy. Perfect. (dearie must write the race report!! Because he ran with a KENYAN lady! Wooow!)
Sham’s training really paid off as I know how hard I was running.. and I could rake up my energy to sprint towards last 1km. I didn’t expect the route to be so hilly.. from the start to the end it was slopes never ending.. the mr trainings were good.. the np hill runs came in helpful..and the track training.. made a difference. Something I thought I should have done, which I did not, was to train 21k at race pace. I have taken the 20k runs too easy for the past months.. it was only last week’s 17k did I start to run harder.. I think it wasn’t suffice. It’s ok, lesson learnt. Will be taking a different training strategy towards AHM.
5. Dearie brought me shopping and we got some good deals in our grocery and toiletries shopping. I got 2 pairs of shoes at 20% discount at vincci too.
6. The hotel, Seremban Inn, which we stayed in is value-for-money. It's very clean, the service was good, located very near the race start (less than 1km run away)...the bed was very comfy.. all for rm80. Thumbs up!
I enjoyed this trip immensely.. thank you dearie for everything.
This race gives me good momentum up to AHM. I’m going to work harder for a better timing. =) dearie, you must jia you too!
