Final tapering run before KLIM05

It is just 3 days more to the KL Marathon this sunday. All the runners tonight are doing our final tapering run. We covered the Canterbury estate-Labrador Park route, about 12km.

I was quite late tonight and didn't have time to strectch nor warm-up. I also forgot to bring my running shoes, and had to borrow an old pair from Paul. It was a little too tight for comfort, but since it was not too long a run, I took the risk.

We started off quite ok, but when Foo and Derek took over the lead, it became quite fast. Paul mentioned halfway that we ran too fast for a tapering run. We ran the stretch of Cantebury estate at a fast pace, then moved onto the main road and into Labrador Park. We did not climb the slope at Labrador, choosing to go the flatter way today. Hit the halfway mark at 34.5min.

I did only a round of Labrador today, and moved back to base in 1hr7min. Not a bad run tonight. After bathing, our group went to Akira's house to have superb home-made Bak Kut Teh and Salmon, along with many good bottles of reds and whites. We joked that this was carbo-loading in advance for Sunday. That guy, Akira is unfathomable. Very creative and won lots of accolades for his fusion food and ideas. Stayed till about 10.30pm before we all left for home.
