2XU Compression Run 2013

This run was held at Padang Merbok. The venue itself was a tough route because there are many hills. I tried this route twice and both are 12km, it was still acceptable but 2XU's 15km was very tough.

This is the first year 2XU organising marathon in Kuala Lumpur and I guess arranging us to go through the hills are done on purpose to challenge us. There are water stations every 2km which was very comfortable throughout the whole run. I targeted to run 10km without stopping but at 9km there was a 45 degree hill about 100m all the way up, did my best to run up and used up my energy. At the top of the hill I stopped to breath, honestly, it was kind of de-motivating for me. After that I couldn't go through the next hill by running and until Changkat Tunku where the killer hill totally got me killed, 1km uphill is not joking at all! 

The killer hill was the final challenge before reaching the finishing line. Actually to reach finishing line is only another 2km but I can't motivate myself to keep on running so I walk a lot. When we reach the finish line there was a cool medal waiting for us, this medal was another awesome one after Adidas :)

Love the 2XU medal!
