NTCRC Run 2014

Runners running along the oil palm plantations.

This post is going to be short. As I have taken almost a 3 months break from racing and blogging. Work and family commitments have just taken too much time to race, training and of course blogging. NTCRC is a 9km run in Nibong Tebal starting at 7am. It is good to be back to a race after such a long break. It is running through the oil palm plantations and seeing the beautiful sunrise at the oil palm plantations alone is worth the effort. It is a race where timing does not matter. So I manage to snap a few more photos along the way.

Nice view along the route

This is the view that makes me stop running and start snapping photo. The sunrise at the oil palm plantation.

Running closed to the finishing line. One of my more relaxed race where I just don't push the pace.
Thanks to Cheng Kean Wee for the photo.

But it is a well organised race with plenty of food and drinks at the finishing line. This is the first of many race that I have registered for this year and it is the shortest. Will also be attempting to do my first 84 km ultramarathon this year in the Penang 100 in September and the Penang Run 2014-2015 with 3 half marathons on 1 June 2014, 26 October 2014 and 11 January 2015. And of course, the full marathon of the Penang Bridge International Marathon on 16 November running on the new bridge. I think they will be a few more races in between and probably with another full marathon in Taiwan in early November.
