Goal: To finish sub 6:00
Some introduction
My previous full marathon, also the one that I lost my virginity to was Standard Chartered KL marathon. It was a very well organised and I'm happy to be part of it. Kudos to the organiser. I finished it with gun time 06:26:36.38 (net time: 06:24:35.74). I figured I can finish APBIM with sub 6 since it is kinda flat compared to SCKLM.
The night before ...
I was staying at a friend's place in USM, which is more than 4km away from the start line (at Queensbay mall). I would prefer to walk to the start line, as part of my warm-up and also to avoid any bad traffic during that rush hour. So I checked in myself to the nearby hotel/hostel. Because of some mishaps with other friends and delayed booking, the nearest that still available was Island hostel. The hostel is about 2.5km from Queensbay, not the distance that I expected and the only bed left was in the mixed dormitory. I thought to myself, what the hell, I just plan to nap from 6pm to 11:30pm.
