I don't know where to start.
I'll make this part by part coz it's gonna be long XD
I contemplate in doing this run but decided to do it and since I manage to drag 2 more people to go with me, we went to register and start booking. I did the flight booking and accommodation for myself and 2 guy friends but couldn't find nearest to the event location. It was my first trip to Penang, I've been wanting to visit but never had the chance to. My friend been bugging me to book it early (like 6 months early) but I only manage to do it in September, a bit late but it's ok. Cut the story short I'm gonna start with flying there on the 18th Nov 2011 (Friday).
Been trying to add on when check in for Air Asia bookings but there was an upgrade to the Air Asia website a week before I did the web check-in that I couldn't manage my booking, I end up checking in without the add ons. Oh well. Lets just say that whole process of me arranging everything was a stressful one.
I think it has been a struggle for me a month before the event, I got sick and injured my right leg and it's not healing properly coz I wasn't resting it properly. Manage to fix it before race date but there's still some minor twitching, so decided to take it slow and don't overdo my running. Cut down my speedwork and just did normal runs. It was okay, I could have done better. Anyways, back to my flight to Penang on the 18th.
