WAI CHING’S LAST QUARTER OF 2023! (PART FIVE) - Soh Wai Ching

Part 5 Begin…

Hi guys, back to the update of my last quarter of the year and now we are in Part 5! I will be traveling to Guizhou tomorrow morning by taking a flight to Xiamen, transit for 5 hours 5 min then catch the next flight from Xiamen to Guiyang Airport. I will be arriving at Guiyang Airport at around 8pm. Next, I will then travel straight to the Sofitel Guiyang Hunter Hotel to pick up the race pack then walk to the hostel that I have booked located 500m away from the race venue.

I will be taking part in “巅峰贵州” 索菲特第五届国际垂直马拉松 also known as the Guiyang International Vertical Marathon 2023 happening at Sofitel Guiyang Hunter Hotel on this Saturday, 23^rd Sept morning at 8.30am running up 55 Floors, 1038 Steps.

This will be their 5^th Edition of the competition ever since they started it in 2017. Once after the competition on Saturday morning, I will then catch the next flight heading home but there will be a transit in Xiamen. I will be leaving Guiyang Airport at 1.50pm, heading to Xiamen. Transit for a time of 3 hours 30 minutes then take the next flight back to Kuala Lumpur. I will then be arriving back in KL close to midnight and head back home straight to prepare myself for the PJ Half Marathon on Sunday morning.

On this Sunday, 23^rd September, it will be the 33^rd Edition of PJ Half Marathon and I am looking forward to representing Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya taking part in this event for 10km Malaysian Men category.

Last year, I took part in PJ Half Marathon in the 10KM category, and I achieved 4^th placing. This year, I would like to come back and run a much faster time and improve my placing. It will be tough and challenging for me as I will only be back in Malaysia on Saturday midnight, but I wanted to take it as a challenge to challenge myself to still aim for a fast time. Hope to see you guys there!

End of Part 5…

Beginning of Part 6 will talk about my back to back competitions “巅峰贵州”索菲特第五届国际垂直马拉松, a towerrunning competition happening in Guizhou at Sofitel Hotel on 23^rd Sept at Guizhou, China and PJ Half Marathon 2023 on 24^th Sept at Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.
