BSN Putrajaya Night Marathon 2012: Event Day

Event: BSN Putrajaya Night Marathon 2012
Venue: Presint 3, Putrajaya
Time: 8 p.m.
EFRs: 
21KM - Zafir, Shuhid, Remy
10KM - Fad, Keat, Misai, Norehan, Wani

Shuhid, still got time to snap a pic with this infamous characters

It's another NIGHT run, which our Ikhwan won't want to involve. It's hot, that's why. No (expected) rain that day, although it's a heavy, heavy rain in Subang (Shuhid's area), and also Damansara (Fad's and Remy's area). Damn heavy rain. 

Even some dark clouds are seen around 7p.m. onwards, but then still no rain in Presint 3 area. Huh, shit. It's no cooling factor. We are actually expecting a heavy rain which will stop before the race starts. Haha. After all, it is God's Will that above other things. 

It's a good event by organiser actually, given many things such as:
1. Systematic luggage management, 
2. Acceptable goodies bag, 
3. Unique medal design, 
4. Awesome 21km & 42km finisher tee, 
5. Funky running vest, 
6. Nice 'Pisang'...sedaaappp,
7. Sufficient marshalls, 

But, we personally notified deficiency such as:
1. Flag off time too near from category to category: 
1 (a). causing 'crowded' moment for the 10km leaders when they stumbled into the slower 21km runners, on the road and at each water station, 
1 (b). leaving the late comers for 21km and 42km category with no more Milo, no more 100 Plus, no more medical tent...

Anyway, it still a nice event for all runners. Organiser played it save by limited the registration to only 10,000 pax to make it really organisable. We can't even think more about good & bad, perhaps, overshadowed by the recent Men's Health & Shape Night Run.
