KL was for the upcoming 5000m

The trip to KL was a great eye- opener. How different can KL be from the other states of Malaysia? I think it's quite crowded and cosmopolitan in comparison with the other states. And I got to see how business is done there. At Petaling Street is the black market. Some peddlers are downright rude. The most polite would just keep quiet while you check out the goods and deals. And when you ask them the price of something they would ask you back "How much you want?". It's totally hilarious.

The race was quite an experience. Fought with this lanky HCI guy. He's somewhat like Jim Ryun. Rode behind him twice. Tried to cut him twice. He came back all the time. And the last time he came back, he gave a deep gash. Wide cut. It was just great. I wanna do something like that next time. Ok, time to try that the next time. This is the thing about racing overseas. Good things to learn. Experience will make you sharper the next time round. My second 5ooom will be this Sunday morning. These 5000ms are getting easier and easier and more fun. Not to forget, more interesting too. I'm looking at 5000m from a totally new perspective now.
