I'm destined for this! The Energizer Night Race 2011, here I come!
I wasn't even aware that the registration for this run was closed in such a short time. I came to know about the run a couple of months ago, thinking that there'd be still a couple of months before the closing date, I postponed my registration for after the Chinese New Year. Who'd have known, when my friend told me that it was ALREADY full, I was pretty shocked and disappointed. Regular runners must've had this night run in their yearly calendar apparently.
But fret not. Came across another regular runner putting up status on Facebook that there was another chance for the registration. Due to the overwhelming response, the organizer decided to open up 250 more seats for keen runners. Manual registration to be done in one of the Starbucks in Klang Valley on one of the weekend.
So I made a mental note. Must go and register.
But...
It was only until one week later that I suddenly realized, "OMG! THE MANUAL REGISTRATION!!!!"
I missed it! T.T *sobs* looking at all the statuses on Facebook at how people are so ever keen in that run, I sorta feel sad that I won't be running. Have never run a night race before, but was told running at nights are actually pretty good.
So while
This is it! I'm destined to run this run okay! Haha. Arrived the venue at 12.30pm on Sunday 20th of February to find 3 runners already waiting in front of the shop. Come 1pm, the cruisers were still nowhere to be seen, and the crowds were growing! Close to 50 already it seems. If some were to register for their friends, the slots would be gone in minutes!
When the cruisers finally arrived half an hour later, they were ambushed by the runners! All the forms were gone within 10 minutes. Luckily I managed to grab one. LOL. Whatever it is, I managed to get myself squeezed into that last 50 extra spots, albeit just the 11km route. Was thinking of joining the 21km, but well, was only told on the spot that it was already full.
Whatever it is, this is gonna be the first night race! Weeeee!~
