First 11.5km

7 am
Tasik perdana
Run 1 lap within 15m00s-14m30s~
(6m30s-6m19s)

today we suppose to do 9 laps (20.7k),its like mission impossible for us(me and bro), but we will try our best,the night before i cannot sleep well coz 'kan cheong' about today run... at 6:15am we wake up pack out things and head to tasik perdana,about 7 am meet up with Dk and his fren chen, do little streching and poof* me, my bro and DK we run, overall its better than pj half marathon 10km run, where i not much suffer, run at comfortable pace, the down side is my leg not use to the heavy mileage so the legs suffer, mental was also very challenging, try just focus on the run and enjoy the scenery... after 2 laps my ankle start to hurt and my bro say his calf also hurting, so DK told us at least do 5 laps, so the target cut down to 5 laps haha... :) , its so encouraging when i see othe Pace Maker member also there for run, at least not so bored in the run. after the run, DK run 2 more laps, he so powerfull la... after bath, we had breakfast with ronnie, racheal, ah loong, justin and richard at jalan alor :) so fun!

here's the split time break down:
1 lap- 13m 12.12s
2 lap- 13m 54. 08s- 27m 06. 20s
3 lap- 14m 01. 44s- 41m 07. 64s
4 lap- 13m 46. 56s- 54m 54. 20s
5 lap- 13m 44. 38s- 1h 8m 38. 58s

11.5km=1h8m38.58s~6m

after complex calculation, the 10k about 59m 43s,wow... little improvement from pj half marathon 10k where i do about 1h 10m, so my target time for ipoh international run on 2 july 2006 for 10k will be under 1 hour :)

Not bad timing for a beginner like you. You'll improve if you train more. Focus on your run and improve slowly. Do not improve too fast until you get burnt out (what i mean is you get very bored) in running. Enjoy every race you enter.
