Larian Kitar Semula 2011
Woke up at 5am. My friend Han Qi picked me up and we reached Putrajaya at 6am.
Registered and got ourselves a T-Shirt and two bibs.
The front
0378 isn't such a lucky number after all(tell you later)
The back
Didn't pay a single cent for this run but got ourselves a very good quality T-shirt. In order to participate, we had to bring recyclable items such as newspapers or bottles, our so called "participation fees". I must say it is a wonderful event and should be held more often. Promotes sustainability and recycling, very healthy event indeed. Not only allowing us to save Mother Earth but also saving ourselves from having that big fat belly.
There were a total of 8 categories if not mistaken. We registered for the 7km Male Adult category.
Forgotten to bring a watch therefore didn't know how long i took to finish the run, probably 45 minutes? Was satisfied to get a medal as not all participants were eligible to get it, only the first 500 of all categories combined. So i guess i was in the top 100? Optimistic : )
yes, look at how wet and silly i look, i fail at posing
tut tut, lent him my medal to pose : þ
What a coincidence, met Shaun Adam, my ex-highschoolmate at the event too. He came by himself and we caught up with him.
while waiting for the lucky draw
After the run, we were eager to wait till the lucky draw as there were racing bikes to be won. Although we were tired and had to stand and wait, but it was exciting knowing that we had a chance to win such a beautiful bike, there were 3 in total!
ah lai~ mali mali HOM!
The moment the emcee mentioned "E", we all kept looking at our bibs and started praying, hoping our number will be called. Unfortunately, we didn't win anything. How unlucky : (
Earlier, i actually saw a Malay guy kneeling down and praying for a few seconds, before dropping his bib into the lucky draw box... I WANT THAT BIKE!!!
Besides that, a few booths were demonstrating their arts and crafts made from recycled items. One booth was selling compost for RM10 per bag as well.
they were teaching the participants how to make their own
believe it or not, this was made up of long sticks of newspaper!
how creative
robot made from old electrical items
The reason i took part in this run was to test myself. I wanted to see whether i can run 7km. Before this i took part in a 4km run, i've got 10th place. I don't know how i fared in this run but i have proved myself that i am capable of running 7km.
Next challenge: 10km.
