Lata Naning

29/8/09

wtrfall chamang..

Lama sggh aku x pg hiking, ada lah dlm 7 thn.. so this time aku join mieo pg lata naning since dia pun ada keja/survey kena buat kat sana.. aku,ekin,mieo & lenny bkumpul kat area rmh lenny dlm kul 5am utk bsahur.. lps sahur trs je btolak ke bentong..

start hiking..

dlm kul 8am br start hiking dr wtrfall chamang ke lata naning.. as mieo said journey ambik masa 4 hrs.. so d 1st 1 hr ikut jalan balak, track x mencabar sgt lah coz just uphill je.. lps jln sejam br sampai 1st check point jln blk sblm start msk hutan.. mieo lead d way, aku jd sweeper je.. route ni byk gak pacat yg attack kitaorg.. lps sejam jln dr route balak br sampai 2nd check point, dr sini dah blh nmpk view gng rajah.. take 5 utk clear kan pacat2 kat kaki lps 2 terus sambung jalan.. kat sini aku lead d pack, br jalan 5-10 min dah terserempak dgn sekor ular atas track yg x bgerak.. skali pandang cam tunggul kayu je.. so pelahan2 je lah kitaorg jalan lalu semak2 sblh kiri utk pass through ular 2.. bila last person ekin lalu je br ular 2 bgerak msk kat semak2..


lps 2 all d way mieo lead d group sampai ke lata naning dlm kul 12pm(aftr 4 hrs walk).. tp b4 sampai, masa lalu tepi2 tebing 2 lenny tergelicir jatuh dr route tp nsb baik dia smpt bpaut kat akar2 pokok.. cemas gak lah kitaorg coz bwh 2 mmg gaung dlm, aku just grasp tarik dia naik ke atas..


sampai je camp site mieo & ekin pasang ground sheet, apa lg semua trs zZzzzz... just 1 hr short nap, kitaorg pg swimming kat wtrfall.. fuhh.. best beb.. fresh sggh air dia.. tp aku swimming ala kadar je, maklum lah bln puasa.. klu swimming cam ironman makruh lak karang.. :)

lbh kurang 2 hrs kat lata naning, kitaorg pack barang utk trn.. but b4 trn, kutip semua sampah2 yg ada kat skitar(well this is part of mieo project) .. d good things memang kat camp site ni x byk sampah-sarap pun.. so dlm kul 2.10pm br gerak trn & all d way masa trn kitaorg just kutip sampah2 yg ada atas track.. masa trn everyhing smooth je & as plan kul 6pm br sampai bwh..

hr 2 kitaorg bbuka kat pekan bentong b4 gerak blk kl..

View gng. rajah..

p/s: its a nice place, mgkn blh repeat lg + naik sampai ke puncak gng rajah.. insyallah..

KLIUC RUN ~ team manager + photographer + pom2 boy + bag keeper ~

Race ni aku just dtg support all d gang yg lari.. lps KOTR aku decided utk rest je sampai raya coz nak recover back pain aku.. its just a small event & being a 1st time organised adalah dlm 300-400 runners & most of them r students & d medal is limited to 1st 20 finisher..

the route quite challenging coz ada a few long hill yg kena conquer & definitely adalah a few hic up by d organizer in running d event.. but most of all, semua runners enjoy d run since its d last run b4 bln puasa.. 3 of chap ayam chicks managed to get into top 20, so congrates to them & also to d rest of d gang..

Destination Alor Staq..

3.30am adai,zaki & aku dah gerak ambk helmi & trs ke ur destination ke utara.. sampai dlm kul 10am.. kat sana kitaorg tggl kat kampung azhar.. ptg pg ambik bib @ club house lps 2 sempat lah kitaorg ronda2 usha route utk ASJC + Larian Bendang + merayau town alor star, sggh gak pekan rabu (manis2 kat sini.. :))

Jumaat
31/7/09
Alor Star Jogging Club Half Marathon
21km



5.30am dah sampai, so masa warm up organiser announced dlm 200 org yg msk utk half.. 10k ramai gak tp utk women open & bdk sekolah je..





since peserta x ramai so masa starting aku start kat dpn.. start je aku bdesup lah lari laju mcm runners elit yg lain sambil2 cari pace.. masa ni pelik gak coz runners chap ayam yg lain still kat blakang x potong2 aku bila dah lps 1k br lah sekor2 laju kedepan.. so lari lah kitaorg 5 ekor ayam dlm sebarisan utk 1k adalah.. lps 2 mcm biasa lah sekor2 hilang, tggl aku sorang2 je kat blkg.. bila peserta x ramai mmg lari sorang2 jelah spanjang route ni.. since x sempat pg toilet b4 race so aku sggh je kat petronas utk "window shoping" roughly after 5k.. route dia dlm 80% jalan lurus & 1st water station yg aku jumpa adalah dlm 7-8k..


dlm 9k br msk kwsn kampung & lps 2 kena daki jambatan utk cross sg.. masa ni aku rasa nak jalan je tp x jadi bile selisih dgn helmi yg dah u turn & inform aku u-turn point dlm 100mtr kat dpn je & bila trn jmbt jumpa zaki & adai lak.. so lps u-turn, kena daki blk jmbtn ni.. masa ni mmg x larat dah nak daki tp ada old timer ni yg lari kat blkg aku srh aku pasang gear 2 tp aku ckp aku gear auto je coz dah x larat.. bila klr kwsn kampung trs je lari jalan yg lurus td sampai ke finishing line.. biasanya klu lari jln lurus mmg tension sikit tp since race start early + cuaca pun redup kira lari pun ok je.. on d way patah blk ke finishing aku follow je this oldtimer b4 dia tggl kan aku lps last wtr station.. so aku sampai dgn timing 2:06:17.. consider good timing coz aku plan nak lari fun run je + target pun dlm 2:30.. mgkn x de pressure + nice cuaca..

bagi aku ASJC is a good race event.. race dia sempoi je + organised by a small club(committe semua old timer) tp race best + relax x payah nak pening2.. dtg lari je.. BEST..!!

Larian Bendang..
6km

6.am aku dah bgn, pg ni alor staq hujan lebat.. ahhh patut lah sejuk giler.. lemah je nak bgn mandi dah 2 kena pg lari lak.. mMmm.. bdn still lemah2 lg coz lari smlm blm recover.. well bgn gak lah..


dlm 7.00 kitaorg sampai stdm darul aman, hjn msh trn renyai2 je.. start race kat dlm stadium so warming up lbh kurang kat atas track + senam robik.. pg 2 DYMM Sultan kedah mencemar duli dgn officiate larian ni dlm kul 8.am..


race men open ni ada medal tp limited 30 je.. x de kategory men veteran so most top 10 runners utk men open + men vet dlm race semalam (ASJC half) pun join gak.. so memang competetive gak lah race ni klu nak medal.. top runner muniandy pun ada gak lah..

bila start race, semua dah bdesup.. runners semua kena buat 1 lap b4 klr stdm.. br dlm 200mtr dah ada top runner yg tgolek masa selekoh.. fuhh.. hebat sggh race ni coz 6km ni consider mcm sprint run je.. klr dr stdm dlm 500mtr dah kena daki jambatan.. ahh.. jambatan lagi.. so bila dah reach 3k pusing kat kwsn perumahan time ni lah ramai bdk2 sklh yg dah potong aku.. laju2 diaorg ni baik laki or perempuan, tgk gaya semua ni athelete sklh.. sepanjang race, aku struggle eventhough lari slow je.. mgkn bdn x recover lg dr race smlm tp aku guna race ni utk preparation 4 KOTR race besok.. bila dah sampai area stdm marshall tnjk aku ke arah kiri stdm than msk dlm perkarangan luar stdm.. so aku lari je lah sampai kat area parking kereta tp pelik gak x kan route dia mcm ni.. tiba2 ada brother ni pggl aku ckp aku dah slh route, aku dah tpinga2 coz aku btl2 dah stranded dlm area parking ni.. klu patah blk adalah kena lari blk dlm 400-500mtr.. aku dah mls nak lari time ni so aku trs je lah jalan ke dpn and end up fininsh kat blkg fininshing line yg kat dpn entrance stdm.. mMmm stupid btl lah diaorg ni.. bila aku sampai br lah top2 runners yg lain sampai & diaorg tkejut coz aku sampai dulu dr diaorg plus diaorg x dpt placing dlm top 30.. rupa2nya diaorg pun dah sesat jalan coz x jumpa finishing line.. diaorg pakat protes kat organizer, aku pun x faham btl dgn orgniser coz lps tangan + marshall yg diaorg ltk pun bdk2 pengangkap yg x tahu apa2.. nmpak sgt diaorg x brief kat bdk2 tu.. kitaorg angkat kaki balik.. STUPIDD..!!



b4 blk sggh rmh azhar ziarah new born baby.. Ashraff Haiqal.. so dlm kul 3pm blk KL tp sggh SP.. kul 10pm br sampai KL..

ADIDAS KING OF THE ROAD
21km

sampai stdm shah alam dlm kul 6am.. kat parking dah jumpa meio yg br sampai, sempat gak lah bgmbr..


so race start kul 6.30am.. mcm biasa start dr blkg je dgn slow pace, sempat gak lah lari dgn kelvin(pacemaker) masa naik bkt klr stdm.. even slow pace tp aku notice ramai gak lah yg aku potong, makna nya diaorg ni lari lg slow lah dr aku.. so 1st wtr station @ 2.5km.. awal nya.. d 1st 10k memang aku lari slow je tp aftr 10k br lah aku gear up sikit pace dia..

pelik btl coz pg ni aku lari maintain je x struggle langsung eventhough aku br je lari ASJC + larian bendang.. menarik bila fininshing kat dlm stdm tp masa trn terowong mmg berdesup gak runners catagory A utk ke finishing line coz semua keja medal yg limited 2.. so aku sampai dgn timing 2:12:47 + dpt medal(itu pun nsb je)..


lps ni long rest utk xtvt lari aku sempena bln ramadhan.. so insyallah kita race lg lps puasa nanti..

KUANTAN TC RUN

Date: 19/7/09
Distance: 10k
Time:7.30am

we've been looking forward 4 this event since last yr x ade.. so kali ni trip 2 cars w jasni & irina join us.. sampai kuantan dlm kul 5pm so trs proceed ke vistana hotel utk ambik bibs.. kat sana jumpa shikin & friend utk bg bib dia.. terus ke teluk cempedak utk cari hotel.. we managed dpt budget hotel @ anjung selesa, walking distance je to starting point..

bib collection @ vistana hotel.. (usha apa kat tingkap 2)

lps 2 terus pg usha starting point kat pantai teluk cempedak.. mMmm.. nice environment.. than jumpa lamchanak kat situ yg baru sampai dgn kenny.. bila tanya kat mana dia stay, dia ckp blm ada tmpt lg so aku ajak dia stay dgn kitaorg sekali coz bilik aku blh accomodate 10 people tp kitaorg blima je..

mlm 2 lps isyak pg dinner kat foodcourt pantai tc je.. jalan kaki je ke sana.. kitaorg mkn simple2 je tp bila dpt bill semua terperanjat coz harga memang GILER MAHAL dr harga kat kl.. aku mkn nsk ayam goreng kunyit + teh o = rm8.50!!.. mMmm mengarut lah.. klu tahu mahal kat situ baik kitaorg mkn kat fastfood je.. aku tido mlm 2 kul 12pm tp kul 1am aku,zaki+irina pg jemput ann @ station bus.. bus dia sampai dlm kul 3am..











pg 2 kul 7.10am gerak ke pantai.. pg simpan beg + borak2 dgn runners lain + senam robik jap br lah race start.. kali ni aku start kat dpn sikit adalah dlm barisan ke 5.. start je race kena daki bkt.. hahaha.. klu biasa bukit2 mcm ni aku jalan je tp since br start lari je lah slow & steady, ramai gak yg laju masa daki ni.. bila trn bukit br lah aku laju skt..

bkt yg kena daki..

bila reach 3k, aku rase perut dah senak.. hahaha.. lari slow pun blh senak gak perut ke.. mMmm.. aku stop utk bend down jap lps 2 trs lari.. masa2 ni aku jumpa tai & uncle tan yg potong aku.. nak follow diaorg x larat lak, so plahan je lah aku lari sampai aku jumpa wtr station @ 4k.. lps 2 smbg pace plahan gak coz x larat btl pg ni blari.. bila reach 8k aku nmpk sorang old timer potong aku, not bad pace dia so follow je dia, time ni lah br pace aku mningkat.. hihi.. mnumpang je pace org aku ni.. so dlm 1k ke penamat aku nmpk zaki, cuba kejar dia tp x larat dah coz masa nak finishing 2 kena daki blk bkt yg awal td.. bila trn bkt dah nmpk dah kwsn starting point dia tp bila sampai situ kitaorg semua kena proceed ke arah pantai coz finishing dia kat tp pantai.. walaupun lari atas pasir pantai ni berat sikt tp menarik gak coz race ni ada kelainan sikit.. so aku sampai finishing line dgn time 55:00..

Finishing point @ tepi pantai..

all d gang.. standing(l-r): zaki,azhar,zainy,irina,jasni,

lepas race, uncle tan wah seng tgr aku & tanya ada apa2 komen or complain tak dgn race ni.. aku ckp aku x tahu apa nak complain coz x ada apa yg nak d complain.. route ni bg aku mmg menarik eventhough race start @ 7.30am tp redup je coz byk pokok tp jalan.. event organisation pun menarik, very simple x kelam kabut mcm kat ipoh hr 2.. so as recreational runner mcm aku ni yg pg blari coz nak bseronok je memang enjoy lah.. really2 have fun.. insyallah thn dpn blh repeat..
