Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010 Day 1/2

We planned to drive up to KL in Ben's car. He volunteered to pick us at our home area. I got up his car at 0745 Hr and drove up to AMK and YCK to pick up Aileen and Vincent.

The first thing we did after crossing the Malaysia custom was to look for food. Ben promised he would bring us to a place selling delicious bak kut teh. Its somewhere near Plaza Sentosa.














One of our many pit stop along the way.






We relied on distance markers during races. We also had distance markers on our way up to KL but its on a countdown manner. 261km to go. We started at around 311km.


The 1 of us in front had to stay awake all the way while the other 2 at the back could rest. We passed the time by chatting on our work, running, races and training.
