Starting manage to maintain the pace. At the first 2km still manage to see Nik Fakarudin and Charles back. After that Nik increase its pace then left three of us behind. Charles was still around 300m in front of me and Govin Da. Further up to halfway of the route, Govin Da drop its pace and Charles as well. Govin Da left behind and I manage to close the gap between me and Charles. Start to overtook him around 7km but then he overtook me back. Three or four times we overtook each other again and again. At the last corner he overtook me. The only thing I can do is just stick to him and sprint the last 400m. But he started to increase his pace and try to left me behind when he overtook me. He manage to make the gap bigger to around 200m. At the last 300m I start to push all out. Manage to close the gap and getting closer and closer. But end up with 2 second behind him. My last kick out wasn't fast enough. Have to do quality speed work after this. 3rd placing at last with timing 38:22 minutes. 3 minute slash from last year 41:28 minutes. It was a well organised race. All their hard work to prepare the performance along the route. Thanks to all the volunteer. Thanks to all my friends who support me always and cheer for me along the route. Also thanks to Raymond for the transport to there and back to hostel. I'll be back next year.
