The Running Diva Malaysia Run 2016 (TRDM) was held on Saturday 12 March
2016. The venue was at Kolam Renang Universiti Malaya. It was their
inaugural edition organized by Tixtac Malaysia & NM Galaxy.
First of all, I was so glad and honoured to be appointed as their Diva Runner
"Ambassador" along with Elizabeth Tan as the Diva Celebrity. Thanks to
the organizers for their opportunity and trust. Did not see it coming
though. I was so flattered. Truly I am.
There were 3 categories provided for TRDM 2016, which 5km Diva Fun Run
(non-competitive) , 10km Prince (competitive) and 10km Princess
(competitive).
I took my racekit from their office a few days before the event. Met Mr Ariff Syafik and Muazan there. Thanks guys!
Unfortunately the beautiful forever gorgeous Miss "Knock Knock" Elizabeth Tan @ Lizzy could not make it to grace the
event for the meet & greet session because she was feeling unwell.
So under the weather. You should see for yourself how bad her voice
sounds like in her official Instagram. Poor Lizzy! Get well soon yaa... But still the show must go on!
On that very day, I arrived quite early and parked my car not far from
the Stadium. I decided to wear my brand new King Royale Crown and the
golden bling2 hood from
MisFydKrafts. The headgear was pretty heavy too.
Love the intricate details and hard work being put into such
magnificent masterpiece! Thanks Mis Fid!
Once I reached the venue, I said hi to Zet, Shaz and Cikgu Syed. For your information,
Marathonbaker was proud to be one of the co-sponsors for this event. We had our own
booth for sales and promotion. Do follow us on
Facebook,
Instagram and even on
Blogspot ya guys... Got some promotions and flash sales from time to time... =D

Warming up session was being done at the car park area before the 10km Prince & Princess category. There were many runners joining the session too. It was still dark then.

Some of runners wanted to take pictures with me before the run. Hihi...
Adei I was so shy one huhu.. Thank you guys! We were being flagged off by
7.10 am.
There were quite a number of runners joining the 10km category. We ran
towards the Sprint highway exit and that was our first loop. Went back
up and off we go tackling the dreadful Bukit Cinta. Heheee...
Huffed
and puffed my way up and enjoyed my downhill run there. Yayy! Lots of
photographers were spotted moving along the route.

Afer that we turned right towards another loop up the mini incline. How
cool was that! You could see and cheered some familiar faces along the
loop. So cool!

Stopped at the WS somewhere around 3km++ Later on we ran past the normal
route and went to the next loop at the end of PJ Exit. Still flat here.
It was already 4km++ by then. Now we had to run all the way up to
another loop on the right side. Managed to exchange high fives with some of the runners along the loops. In the spirits of runners encouraged each others. Sometimes I felt like gracing my subjects in my own way LOL...

Once I reached the 6km distance, I saw Cikgu Syed & Zet were
distributing Marathonbaker's Runbananaz samples to some of the lucky
runners. I was running towards the last loop before we headed back to
the FL.

| Felt like flying when I ran downhill... Thanks to this King Royale Cape hoho! - Pic credits to Running Magazine Malaysia |
But first we had to endure the fume from the standing still traffic in
Universiti Malaya compound. Thanks to the security for controlling the
traffic flow. As I was running, there were people kept on cheering me.
Some even called me Arthur! Like King Arthur LOL...
 |
| Smiled while running is mandatory folks - Thanks Mr Addy for this picture! |
I could already see the Finishing Arch was not that far. Yayyy! Finally I crossed the FL around 1h20min++...
The race village was so happening. The runners were hanging out around
while enjoying themselves. Free flow 100Plus drinks and drinking water.
They were waiting for the lucky draw session after the prizes giving
ceremony. Lots of runners were taking selfies, wefies and groupfies.

That really suited TRDM's theme tagline #bukansekadarselfie or #notjustaselfie. I went around to
take some wefies, selfies groupfies with other runners. Felt like a
Celebrity already hoho! Ah well, just for a half day event why not la
kan... Kuikui...

Being called up to the stage to give away the 2nd runner up prize to the
10km women's category. That was my first experience hehee...
Bukan selalu diberi penghormatan sebegini hehee...
After the prize giving ceremony, our plan to had a surprise birthday
celebration for Zet Marathonbaker on the main stage was successful! She was
speechless when I brought her the birthday cake with all Marathonbaker Family. We sang the birthday song
for her along with other runners... That was truly unforgettable moments!
Happy belated birthday Zet! XOXO 🎉🎉🎉🎂

| It's a Surprise Party For the Diva herself! =P |
All in all, I had so much fun meeting new friends and familiar faces
during TRDM. Some of them were my Instagram friends that I met for
the first time. Nice to meet you guys in person! Even Mis Fid came to meet
the Marathonbaker Iron Ladies, Zet & Shaz there. That really made my day.
