Last SLR before KL half marathon!


A good size group left from the ARA at 6:30AM to run the scheduled 12 mile route. One runner opted for a shorter run and hoped to join the group on longer runs soon. The group ran nice and easy out to the 6 mile turn around and then the pace quickened on the way back. The goal of a negative split workout was achieved by all! Runners were getting excited and ready for the race this week-end. The group discussed what they will likely do over the long week-end in KL leading up to the half marathon with talk of runners relaxing by the pool, eating great food, taking in the sites, including the Petronas Towers and Chinatown, and just enjoying the week-end getaway! Race begins at 6AM Sunday morning, so wish the runners luck if you see them this week.



WE NEED A SLR SUB FOR THIS SATURDAY. THE COURSE AND DISTANCE CAN BE THE LEADER’S CHOICE AND I RECOMMEND BETWEEN 6-8 MILES. PLEASE EMAIL dhakatriathlonclub@yahoo.com if you are able to be SLR leader for the day.



Discussions are ongoing for our April event and choices are the following:


1) Rickshaw time trial
2) Duathlon (5k run, 15k bike, 5k run)
3) Predicted time 8K race (no watches-closes to predicted time wins)
4) Age-handicapped 7.5K race (runners begin race based on age and gender-women80-85 begin first…men 16-20 go last)



PLEASE EMAIL US IF YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR THE DTC TO PUT ON ONE OF THESE RACES IN APRIL AND/OR IF YOU HAVE OTHER IDEAS FOR AN EVENT IN APRIL.
