And it will bring you direct to the booth, even if you are in idiot!
Event booths around the sports hall
I spy with my little eye, pre-race Recce
Navigating KL streets is quite easy
And here we are at Merdaka Square!
But the start line is not up yet!
12 hours to race time and it's scorching hot!
and so are the barricades!
It feels just like the Singapore Padang!
The milo booths and lottsa dustbins
The flagpole is a good distant marker for runners
The grand stage
more paddang goodness for ya grass fans, say it pad-dddang!
I can't decide which image to upload so I put both up!
You decide which's better!
More pre-race setups photos
All finally got back far enough for a full picture!
A race to conquer tomorrow
A route to accomplish
Final shot before leaving Merdaka Square for the day
Our after-rqace meeting area, which will most probably be swarmed with people tomorrow
note to self- never take stand with sun behind you!
for more Shopping!
there was some wedding ceremony performance on the street
with traffic clogging up the behind them!
here we get human and vehicular traffic...
but at least it's not as crazy as that in indonesia
dinner was at where else, our favourite eating spot Jalan Alor!
Eat eat! or suffer tomorrow!
We headed to Berjaya Timesquare for the rest of the night
before collasping for a much need rest back at the Hotel
4.45am Up! 6am Start! 21km later... 8am+ here we are!
Baggage collect was very speedy! I like!
