Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012: Statistics and Analysis

Source: http://www.kl-marathon.com/

This is statistics issued by KL Marathon website as above. 

As you all can see, MEN VETERAN do not prefer 10KM running, but Full & Half Marathon instead! Hahaha...

Only 15% out of MEN (who joined 42KM), are WOMEN. Hahaha...

The total of MEN & WOMEN ran 10KM are almost the same. The same goes to MEN & WOMEN VETERAN 10KM. Hahaha...

Full Marathon is the only category where MEN VETERAN (only) is more than WOMEN OPEN & VETERAN combined. Hahaha...

Overall...special salute to MEN VETERAN!!! They are awesome. Make sure you're one of them in future.

Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012, the biggest marathon in Malaysia, had left some memories for us to be remembered. See you guys in 2013!!!

Haha...interesting right???

Disclaimer: This may not be an accurate comparison as the run affected by various factors such as different routes, runner's technique and target, different flag off time (which brings to different whether condition), net time vs split time, and so on. This information is just for fun by the purpose of utilizing the technology available at SCKLM 2012. See you next year!!!

Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012: The D-day

Finally, 24th of June 2012 came! The day that most of us have been waiting. The moment of truth (in knowing how much we have improved). Standard Chartered KL Marathon or SCKLM for short was here again! It's happening yawwww...

All those preparations, trainings, and new gears will be tested in this RUN!!! Survival of the fittest! Who will prevail? hoho...ok enough of all the dramas. heh. Total number of 14 EFRs joined the run which was touted as the largest running event in Malaysia apart from the Penang Bridge International Marathon. It was reported that 28k runners joined the event (as claimed in one of the local newspaper).

EFR 3 being the most 'semangat' one of all arrived damn early at Dataran Merdeka. EFR 4 and EFR 1 planned to board the free shuttle service earlier but unfortunately they woke up late and missed the buses. Thus they drove there. EFR 5 managed to hop onto the free bus. Meanwhile, at Menara Milenium in Pusat Bandar Damansara, one chap was waiting there patiently while listening to radio staring blankly at mamaks of Ali Maju perhaps. haha. He was none other than EFR 12 who had been kept waiting by EFR 7 who arrived late by 2.5 hours.

In the end, EFR 4 and EFR 19, the latecomers for 21km category started 7-8mins late. Meanwhile, latecomers for 10km category, EFR 12 and EFR 7 started 1 hour late at 8am instead of 7am. Nevertheless, apart from the small 'hiccups' for certain EFRs, everything went fine. The weather was perfect! From EFR 1, EFR 3 and EFR 4 points of view, they definitely enjoyed the half-marathon run. Since there were a lot of people joining SCKLM 2012, not one point along the route you would run alone. Considering this run as the 1st half marathon for the 3 of them, EFR 1 did blazingly unbelievably superbly fast, finishing at 2hrs 13mins. Congrats to him! and also, congrats to 2 of EFRs, EFR 11 & EFR 16 for finishing the full marathon category. Really respect you guys for having that strong will and courage!

Upon finishing the race, all runners would gather at Dataran Merdeka to collect their finisher goodies bags which contain a banana, a can of 100plus and finisher medal. There was live band performances on stage making the event more colourful. There was also not-free massage there provided you pay RM20. haih. Unlike Sundown Marathon 2012 which provided free massages.

All in all, it was a great event, an event that will be remembered by most of the EFRs as they might have clocked their personal best here, ran their first half-marathon here, finished their first full-marathon here, 1st time completing the run with their newly bought minimalist gear or compression tights and so on. Congratulations to all of us and the organiser, Standard Chartered Bank!

Berlarilah kamu semua...

Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012: Running fever, running gear

Running fever brought by SCKLM 2012, has also encouraged some of the enthusiast EFR runners to visit the nearest sports outlet in town for their running gears. For about these 2-3 months before, some of EFRs have SPENT a lot for the BEST. This absolutely showed a determination of EFRs in order to get the best, at least the personal best. Hehehehe. Here's some of the SPENT made by certain EFRs who has come into editors' radar.  Anyway, from editors, ... CHAIYOK!!!

Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012: Editors' special advice

The EFR's Editor Team wish you all best for your SCKLM 2012 tomorrow. Some of us determine to break their own PB, some to push the limit with the new distance, some to experience first running event, some to fill their personal weight-loss program and some juz for fun. 

Whatever it is, please make sure you have trained well, rest sufficiently, carbo-load yourself, get use to 100 Plus/Powerbars (if you plan to consume 'em), prepare/plan your running gear on the day (shoe/sock/ankle or knee guard/compression/MP3/pouch) and get your running kit ready - race bib, timing device.

"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

"The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare." 

-Juma Ikangaa, 1989 NYC Marathon winner

"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that." 

-Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder

"Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all about."
-PattiSue Plumer, U.S. Olympian 

"Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself."
-John Bingham, running speaker and writer

See you there!
