KL Towerthon 2008

After doing a 25k on Saturday, I was again ready for today's KL Towerthon vertical run. This is the first time I am participating in this event, and therefore no high expectation of any fast timing. Just wanna get the experience and feeling in climbing up to the top of the tower. So timing is definitely secondary.




















The atmosphere was filled with a drizzle in the morning. Participants all over the place were not discouraged by the rain itself and I can see those elite runners doing their warm-ups. The air was cooling and just perfect for a run like that.






























The starting point was crowded with all the runners waiting eagerly for the race to be flag off

Overall was quite satisfied with my performance although I think I still have some reserve bearing in mind the LSD that I did yesterday. Well, that doesn't really matters as I said before that I am participating in this event just for the experience of it. The feel is like trekking up to the summit of Mt. Kinabalu but at a much faster pace.
