4 OCT 2009: Went for the 4th Ekiden Run 2009 at Putrajaya with the usual marathon kaki. There were 10 of us in 2 different teams. I was the team leader that of the team named H5N5. What a dramatic name given.
The run started officially at 8am where it was a relay run that each of us had to run for the distance of 3km. I was pretty stressed as 1st runner. Everyone ran at a very fast pace for the 1st 1km. I pushed myself a little faster than my normal pace in order to keep up with others and completed the 3km within 17 minutes. Not too bad I guess as a 1st runner with less than 20 ahead of me. Finally, my team finished the run within 1 hour 20 minutes at 50th. Well done team!!!
It was a fun and well organized event. However, the organizer shall locate more remote toilets at the interchange section as I saw lots of guys did their business around the bushes. Kind of disgusting and I bet it wasn’t something proud to be shown especially to foreigner.
Who is interested to form a team of 5 for next year? And a fancy name for the team?

Jelly Beans are good names! but u gotta get 4 more Jelly boys to be with u. ;)
wanna join my first run too!! was like, my new year resolution this year, but look what happened? nada. lols
wah, started off in top 20, but finished at 50th.. means you are the best in the team lor?? kekeke.. yalah, get a more glamorous and stylish name next time lah.. :D
Dude, from my calculation i already knew your team would finished 50th place... how?
H5N5 = 4x5+6x5
H = 4 and N = 6 in handphone.
so H5N5 = 4x5+6x5 = 50...
See you started with 20th --> 4x5 ended with 50th place --> 4x5+6x5
heheheeeeee.... :p
wah~ really a road runner liao,.... good job...
Grandma Twilight: Hey, why you never share your marathon experience with me? Which part of you has injured? Anyhow, "Jelly Beans" is quite a funny name but not for running la. Beans doesn't sounds powerful wo.
Medie007: Oh yea, would you like to be one of the "Bean" next year? I remember you said wanted to join marathhon event this year but never did. There's another "dato" also said the same, but no action also.
SK: No lor, my team member said I was the worst. Cause I let 20 ppl over took me, and they averagely (30/4) only let 6-7 people over took them. Do you think this is fair for me?
TZ: Wow wow wow, what mathemetics formula you used to come out with this? But it's quite accurate wo. So I gotta calculate "Jelly Beans" for the placing next year de.
L²: Not considered a road runner yet comparing with all those regular runners out there. They are really good indeed. Would you like to try these kind of running event someday?
