WE RUN KL 2012

have some comment about nike run 2012 that held last night
i like their goodies (a nike water bottle and 2 nike shirt)
but the organizer is very bad
it could probably be the worst run ever!

i'm not the only one complain about it
bt i c many people complain about the same thing on facebook!

1st, the did not start on time!
it was suppose to start at 5.30pm but they start at 5.40pm.
(i don't know what they are waiting for)

2nd, the narrow road for 15000 runners?
for some route, they only use part of the road, so all the runners have to squeeze into this small lane. how could u possible run?
it was too crowded to run. most of the time when i tried to run, the were too many people in front of me that block my road. there is no space to cut through them...

3rd, the finishing line
when i reach the finishing line i was shock. everyone walking in extremely slow pace. then someone with muscle cramp shout 'move people!!!'
after almost 10minutes of walking at this short distance finally i discover what happen. They arrange the hydration booth just right at the finishing line. people were walking slow to get water and those workers were doing their job slow...
those who do not need water will have to wait through this slow move...

4th, finisher t-shirt collection
ok, it was good that they set up booth according to size but for certain size with many request mayb they should set up 2booth to have better collection. + the field is so muddy that ur whole shoe can sink into the mud. and it took quite long for me to get mine. (as i'm in the m-line, and almost half of the women register for this race queuing for the M)

5th, baggage collection
ok, i tink mayb it was my luck that me and my fren kept our baggage at 'Baggage A' (they have A,B, C, D) and this Baggage A took the longest time to distribute all the bags.
this is how they distribute it.
everyone is waiting outside the truck, the two person in the truck took some random bag and call out the number. is like lucky draw, u patiently wait for ur number. the don't even have a speaker, so u have to try hard to hear it.
i waited for almost an hour to collect my bags. when my number is called, i squeeze to the front to get it. bt there were like a barrier in the front part, everyone is blocking there, they don't even let me through and no one helps to take mine... i'm so angry. i shout so many time and no one seems to care.
then there were a group of volunteer come in which they claim to help the baggage distribution. then one of the volunteer seems to notice me and help me out.
i'm so angry with those people that, it's not their number yet but they can't help others by letting them get their bags and fasten the process. what a group of people?!
i'm consider 'lucky' to get my bag in an hour. i have frens that waited 3hours to get their bags... wasted so much of time just to get the bag?! no so much a good thing.

i don't blame much on the organizer for the muddy field as the cannot control this field condition. and there were heavy rain in the afternoon b4 the run start.
many people wore new shoe for the run, and must have get so angry to get their new shoe in dirt.
i'm stil trying hard to clean my shoe. (my running is in white!!!!)
