Well well well...long time busy with EYKL auditors' schedule, due to numerous dateline for 31 December + 31 March year end companies, almost all of our runners ran this race without sufficient training.
Never mind, we start with the event day story.
EFR 5 need to cancel his participation in this race in the final minute due to the demise of his uncle.
Al-Fatihah.
EFR 15 went there separately, alone, direct from Shah Alam through Elite and be the earliest to reach F1 Sepang International Circuit.
What happened to the other EFRs???
Decided to eat first before the journey, EFR 1, 3 & 4 leave EYKL office at Damansara at 6.45pm!!! Using MEX, they avoided jam. Good job, bros! But....reaching Sepang at around 7.40pm, they stuck with the blocked way-in. They have to U-turn to the other entrance. However, without proper instruction by the organizer and the volunteers who just sit together (around 9-10 people) doing nothing to show the way, these 3 15.5km runners has lost their way again.
Then, after U-turn back to the same road (just now they missed), they juz go straight until they found a bunch of guys, and they asked where's the parking lot. One of the guys (Guy A) told that they shud go further to park, but to make it short, they finally have to turn back, and actually the right direction is to the lorong where Guy A is standing. What the ...!
Okay la. Finally they've made into the Welcome Gate. Take the headlamp, and ran to the starting area. Near the podium tunnel, EFR 4 realised that the headlamp can't be switched on. After EFR 1 & 3 also found out that their headlamp encountered the same problem, they rushed to the volunteers stand near and asked. The volunteers told to go back to the Welcome Gate and fix it there. Wallaweh.
Okay, they went back there je lah. They ran u know!! At the Welcome Gate, the volunteers there said that they actually didn't peel off the plastic which covered the battery power source. Is that all??? Shit! They admit that maybe they have not read the instruction properly lah, but at least y not all the volunteers were given the proper instruction to at least help runners not to waste their energy??? It's at night mah, rushing some more, where can see that plastic one...Waduh...
Wokeh, wokeh, wokeh...they went down the tunnel only to know that the 15.5km category has been flagged off 12 minutes ago. The take the chance (alang-alang lambat) to snapped some pictures before started their run. Here're some of the snapshots on the day:-

Finisher's Tee
Anyway, Energizer Night Race can be considered as MEGA & INTERESTING race! Upon finishing the race, we were given a so-called FINISHER's T without the word "finisher", finisher's medal, finisher's cert, a banana, a mineral water, a bun, some 'kuih' and 100plus. This event can be described as memorable as well.
