I took part in another relay run last Sunday in the Pacemakers Anniversary Run 2016. This was the 12th edition of the race and as in previous years, it was held at the Lake Gardens - a highly sought after venue for race events as it offers a beautiful landscape and jogging tracks around the lake right in the heart of the city.
Our team is called Marudu Bega and it's made up of four guys and a girl. According to the rules of the race, each team must have at least one female member as their first runner. Each runner is required to run a 3.15 km loop with a total distance of 15.75 km for each team. The transition point as at the start/finish line where each participant is required to pass the baton with a timer chip to the next runner. Baton distribution was done just before flag-off and the process was without any glitch.
Weather was beautiful that day and there were countless stunning photos captured by professional and non-professional photographers alike.
Post-race refreshments include nasi lemak, tou fu fah, soya bean, buns, Revive, mineral water, Hemaviton Energy drink and watermelon for the non-Muslim participants.
Results:
Finish time: 1:27:01
Overall: 52/199
Pace: 5:31 min/km
