Okay, more photographs of Ipoh Starwalk 2008.



The first walker to arrive. He took about 46 minutes to cover the 10km route. Average speed = 13.038km/h = 3.62m/s. WOW!



The champion up close. (There is no need to pinpoint who he is, right?)



2nd walker to arrive. He clocked 48 minutes, which translates to 12.5km/h or 3.472m/s. Amazing feat/feet!



The third walker to arrive, shortly after the arrival of the second.



Ops, wrong lane.



The first non-competition walker to arrive. Great spirit there.



The competition officials waiting for more walkers at the finishing line.



Giving it all to reach the line.



Mr. Thomas Kok, a veteran walker. How do I know? He's a former principal of my former alma mater.



The first lady walker to arrive.



Not only did he finished among the top, he even did it barefooted.



The teens, who formed the majority of the participants, are known to be very energetic. However, they are dim when compared to veterans when it comes to things that need perserverance like marathon or walkathon.



More and more walkers arrived as the clock ticked away.



All walks of life.



Age is no barrier,not at all.



Here comes one of the oldest walker of the competition.



Running! Violation of rules!



I wonder why was he holding that piece of paper.



Another veteran walker.



Do not underestimate the kids' power.



Her majesty coming through.



Who says you need appropriate gears? T-shirt coupled with pants and sandals were good enough.



The rush to the finishing line as the 100 minute limit approached.



Checking out sponsors booths after a long journey.



Almost all participants have arrived.



Participant receiving first aid treatment from the Red Crescent Society.



5bucks that he was the oldest walker in the competition, anyone?



The crowd at the finishing line.



The crowd dispersing as the sun rose higher and shone brighter.



Walkers grabbing free isotonic drinks given out by sponsors before saying goodbye.

That concludes the second part of the event. Next up, the third part.

Stay tuned. Adieu, graynut signing off.
