Race Conditions
Compared to the typical times in Malaysia, this year’s race has been pretty fast – an adjustment of -3:37 was still slow, but about 9 minutes faster than Malaysia’s course rating of -12:27. Even though no new course records were posted, a couple of times were not too far off.
Male Race Results
