The State Funeral of late Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu was held yesterday and we had a joint LSD with the Waterfall Warriors Group starting from our usual starting point at Youth Park car park at 6:00am and proceeded to Dewan Sri Pinang where we paid our last respect to late Tun.
Mr Tey Eng Tiong, a well known runner cum photographer from Kuala Lumpur was kind enough to join us and we had the pleasure of having him as our cameraman and sharing his vast running knowledge from his long running experience.
On behalf of all the runners who took part I would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciations to Mr Tey for his great dedication and spirit in the promotion of running.

Activity 22/2010 - November 14 - 10km Veterans Run 2010

photos courtesy of Mei Ling

What: 10km Veterans Run 2010
Organised by Penang Veteran Athletes Association (PVAA)
When : Sunday 14 November 8:00am at PISA
Distance : 10.25km
Route: PISA -> J. Tun Dr Awang -> J. Sultan Azlan Shah -> J. Tun Dr Awang -> PISA
Age Group Categories:
16-34yrs, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70 and above

This is the inaugural road race event organised by PVAA under the new president of Mr Jordan Lee with the technical assistance from the PAAA.

Not many runners were attracted by this event probably due to the proximity of the more significant PBIM on the following Sunday. The race was flagged off at 8:00am which to the views of most participants was rather late as most events start earlier to avoid the heat and volume of traffic. However it was not too unbearable thanks to some drizzle minutes before the race and excellent traffic controls at road junctions.

This event saw a breakthrough in having different categories of age groups with every increment of 5 years from 35 to 70 and 70 years and above, similar to most road races held in Thailand and the 1st in Penang and probably in Malaysia. The top 3 finishers in each category were awarded with a trophy each and this presentation certainly encourages more veteran runners to participate. Hope organisers of future events will follow suit. A limited number of finishing medals were also given to finishers.

As a whole this event was very well organised especially with sufficient supply of drinks at the Finish. Thank you the PVAA and PAAA.

Quite a number of our group entered this run and we all enjoyed this 'warming-up' run in preparation for the upcoming PBIM. As usual it was 'rocking n party' time at the finish after the race to celebrate Christine Lim's birthday.

Thanks to everybody for giving his/her helping hands in registration, taking photos, bringing nice food and drinks and making our gathering so enjoyable.

Congratulations to our Trophy Winners:
Captain Tan Cheng Jin - 44:45 - 2nd position in Category M2
Women
Gan Hoay Jen - 59:26 - 2nd in Category F1
Ch'ng Lay Khim ------- 1st in Category F2
Chung Mei Ling ------- 1st in Category F3
Lee Heng Keat -------- 3rd in Category F9

Nearly 30 runners from our group attended and they went in 8 cars

Please view below an extract of a report from Facebook written by James Lee :

"Again Penang rockers did it with excessive loud noices, gags & eye-catching behaviors. 2 New rockers: Phew-may & Niphenyu. Runners all out for the limited finisher's medals & most of us got it (If not all) Hoooooray. Some got lucky draw.
Thereafter we adjourned to the Serdang famous delight which recommended by Kelvin. At first we curse for the long drive thru long-narrow-winding road. Surprisingly the restaurant serve cheap & good dishes. There were fried porridge, sambal fried potato leave, Thai's steamed fish, curried wild boar & the last is my personal favor - ancestor recipe of wild boar leg. deliciousss & good for cartilage health. A+ for Kelvin recommendation.
We shall now plan for the next outstation event in Ipoh & awaiting for the fun photos upload by ML."
