The run was good! And of coz, the stay in KL better.
The 4.5km KL Rat Race started with a rather heavy downpour, making running difficult with the rain splattering on our faces and breathing hard. But we pushed on and 5 minutes into the run, the rain stopped, to our relief. The long slope up was challenging, but not as much as the downwards run after the ascent. I had used up too much energies trying to keep to pace during the upslope! This year's race seemed tougher though the route and distance was the same. The weird thing was that I felt I ran faster :)
The friendly treat at QMax Bar after the run (and shower which we sneaked back to our hotel for) was fun and a little of an eye-opener. Those KL folks dance so differently from us! They did some dance sorta like a tango or waltz, but I'm too ignorant to know which. At one point the group of us nine were hogging a huge part of the dance floor moving to our own retro zouk-style beats. Wahaha.
Earlier today was free-n-easy which meant.. shopping! I spent more than S$200 in just two shopping malls - Lot 10 & KL Plaza. Just see the shopping returns below. The trip was short but fruitful. It gave us not only the chance to experience the race once more, but also gave me the needed break from work. Dunno if I'll get to go again next year?
Didn't get to buy any foodstuff for family and friends, partly due to lack of time and also couldn't see them readily. Next time, yah :)
