Watergate 16hrs

Last weekend i had the opportunity to join watergate 16hrs event....the format of the event is runners should complete as many loop as they can (5km per loop) and at least a minimum of 10loops to qualified as finisher within 16hrs.

Approximately 270 runners registered from all over Malaysia and also overseas such Singapore, UK, India and many more.



As me myself i arrived around 530pm and directly took the race kit and find a spot for tent. There i meet new friends from Kuala Kangsar , Ampang and also Bangi who also join the race. Most of us are 1st timers in this event.





Around 745pm race manager brief us on race formats and at 800pm we flagged off.







I ran for 4 loops and stop for supper around 1130pm...the food was nice...nasi with ayam goreng berempah plus kari n sambal belacan some more...feeling full so i plan to just leisure walk on my 5th loop and start running back on the 6th loop onwards until 8th loop. I end my 8th loop around 430pm and decided to take shower and change to dry clothes and have a rest for a while. Around 530pm i continued my 9th loop and stop again for subuh prayer and finally complete my run at 915am with a total of 11 loops.





Overall i find this event as one of the best...new experience for me where i met amazing people...they are very determine, strong, supportive and inspiring...its not an easy task to be running at night till the day after sleepless, tired n with all the blister, soreness and all kinds of pain ... to set ur mind to keep going to the very last hours...real runners is not about a person accomplishment only but to be able to inspire and motivates others to keep going through days n nights, rain or shine...congrats to all of the runners, supporters and crews ...you're the best
