SCKLM is a great Marathon!

Today I ran Standard Chartered KL Marathon. Christiane and I joined Claire yesterday on the flight to KL. After arriving in KL we went to the KLCC and picked up our Bib. Everything is very well organised, no problem to find our way around with public transportation. I even got offered a seat in the subway. Am I looking this old??? Our hotels were close to the start. We met at 3:30am and got into our corral on time. It was pretty easy to get into a rhythm and Claire settled into our 6min/km pace. Allison, Chin Chin and BB cheered us on at the 27k mark. Thank you so much! The second half is way more hilly than the first half so we "lost" some time on the last km. But since it was the first M for Claire she clocked a PB of 4h22. Congratulations, Claire. Very, very well done! I felt pretty ok after the run. My legs were still feeling well but lets see how they will behave on May 12/13 in the hills after the first 50 flat kilometres. Debby finished in 3:48 and placed 4th in her age group. Strong performance! All in all it was a great weekend!
