I spy with my little eye, pre-race Recce
And here we are at Merdaka Square!
12 hours to race time and it's scorching hot!
But the start line is not up yet!
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!
note to self- never take stand with sun behind you!
Our after-rqace meeting area, which will most probably be swarmed with people tomorrow
A race to conquer tomorrow
A route to accomplish
Final shot before leaving Merdaka Square for the day
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!

Shot with the TLR from SGrunners
Met up with sotong and more of the SGrunners thereafter before our return bus trip in the afternoon
an international breakfast buffet and over 500RM shopped later... (Mmmmm dang I overspent...) we are back on the bus!
and boy it's another Big Boy!
with 2 levels of snoozing estate
and TV which I don't watch...
not to mention cutting edge 21st century-type ready personal dustbins in place!
Thats all folks for KL Marathon 2007!
