U Run 2012

My first 2012 race review is here. The following photos were taken by my girlfriend.

I was almost late for the run. Reached there around 8:20am. Luckily the start pen is not yet close.





Just that I started running, I can see previous wave's runners already heading back.



Another inspiring runner in the making. He was trying his best to run and never give up to stop.



I was hoping for a good cloudy weather but the sun never fail to smile at us. Maybe next time the organizer should start the race earlier.

This is the best hydration station I ever love because of the sunny weather.

Why Pocari never use paper cup?



There was quite a number of U turn point.









A lot people cannot stand of the weather and walk instead of run.



Wow! A true professional photographer that doesn't care about rain or shine.



At last finished the torturing hot run.



The retrieval of goodie bag was very smooth. No jam at all.







The baggage system was a big hazard. Some people queued for 1 hour to retrieve their bag. Good thing I always never deposit my bag in any races.



The items inside the goodie bag.

U Run's Race Pack

Hi runners,

It's been so long since I have updated my blog. Apparently, this year I did not join a lot of events due to the expensive race fees. But there are some events that is a must to join.

U Run will be my first 10 km run this year. I have registered the package which consists of U Run and Run 350 race.

Today is the collection for U Run race pack.



I was there around 12pm and the crowd was still ok.







Brooks running shoes are having 30% discount but there was no discount for 2XU compression wear.



I have been training hard these few months. Hope I can below 1 hour timing for this race.



There was nothing much in the race pack. Basically the tee, race guide and some brochures. I like the tee's material, but the size was quite tight. My size usually would be small to medium but this U Run's medium is more like extra small size.
