badly organized event

As I always said, time flies...

yesterday was the energizer 2011 night marathon and I took part in 21km race! unfortunately the organizer did it badly and I'm sure everyone finds it a bad experience! we were supposed to collect the headlight before the run, but there's no direction or even instructions of where we should take it from. anyway, we still managed to found it and it was actually a few boxes thrown at a dark foyer for everyone to grab it themselves. oh gosh! it really mess up the entire place and my hot temper started to blow up in my mind! I feel like shouting in front of the MD or chairperson of Energizer, you failed and please return my money!!!

luckily my rational and excitement over the run still remained strong! eventually the race started on time and we didn't expect the situation got worsen towards the end. after I finished a big round surrounding sepang circuit and a round on the circuit, I heard the organizer made the announcement...21km...please turn into the right gate to collect your medal and goodies!!! I'm so curious of whether I have finish 21km and asked the PIC standing at the finishing line. he answered, I think so... what the fuck!!! it's so unprofessional and badly organized. other runners from the same category also proceeded to the collection counter and I did the same. Who knows...I have only finished 16km with a medal on hand! for the rest who completed 21km did not managed to get their medals. immediately, the organizer apologized saying that they had mix up everything and the goodies together with the medal will send it to our doorstep. On the night, some aggressive people have shown their dissatisfaction and created havoc there. I would not blame them as we should show to the organizer of how we feel.

if you think about it. this is not only causing people to boycott the run. but, also a great damaged to the brand image. Energizer, I wish you luck and so sorry to tell you that no more next time;)
