Race day..




Well pg kul 730am kitaorg dah gerak ke Starting point @ Berjaya.. Tp b4 sampai Berjaya kena lah mendaki bkt dia yg mencanak 2 so roughly dlm 15 min + bpeluh2 kitaorg pun sampai.. join star2 lain warming up b4 race start..

(L-R) azhar,shikin,miow,adai,zaki,shah + yap & d gang..

Mcm biasa international flag off 1st lps 2 br local.. route awal dlm 2k sblh golf couse bbukit tp x seteruk bera.. layan je b4 msk hutan.. once msk hutan terus je start mdaki gng.kajang.. waduhh.. well mula2 aku ok lg, pace pun maintain memang kedpn gak lah compared dgn bdk2 kaki gunung coz masa road awal aku dah tgglkan diaorg.. lps 1/2 jam mendaki, aku dah x blh maintain pace so aku slow lah skt tp track mmg mendaki je + licin + berduri2 + batu2 bsr(bwh lubang dlm) + panjat guna tali + lari lereng gaung.. mak aii.. bbeza sggh dgn track trailblazer coz yg ni macam kat t.bera gak mmg track blm teroka.. btl2 challenging..!

At 1 point masa tgh blari 2 aku panjat lah batu bsr kat dpn aku utk ke dpn & suddenly bila aku dah kat atas batu 2 br aku perasan yg bdk blkg lari ikut track ke kiri.. hampehh btl.. rupanya aku slh track, confident je panjat..!! br nak trn dr batu 2, mieow pun dtg & tgr "buat track sendiri ke.." mMmm.. aku senyum je lah.. lps 2 ramai lah sayur aku..

Masa mdaki ke puncak aku jumpa yap and aku sampai puncak dlm 1jam30min.. Fuhh.. masa ni dah rasa lega coz lps ni menurun je.. tp ada gak lah mdaki skit.. most of d time aku dlm hutan ni jalan sorang je psl even ada runners few meters dpn or blakang pun mmg kita x nmpk.. so masa aku tgh bjalan on d way trn 2 aku nampak sekor scorpion hitam dpn aku, ada lah bsr tapak tangan.. mak aii bsr nya, btl2 tgh laluan track dan mengadap kat aku.. aku cuba sergah tp x grk2 pun ingat kan dia nak lari ke tapi tp stay je kat situ standby mcm nak fight dgn aku je terpaksalah aku cari kayu tuk tolak ke tepi dan kebetulan ada s'porean lady ni dtg & tolong alih kan dgn kayu.. Tapi bkn aku sorang je yg experience mcm ni coz yg lain2 pun experience gak.. si shah masa jatuh kat lereng bkt btl2 sebelah sarang ular sawa, adai nyaris2 nak pijak ular yg tgh melintas jalan, miow nmpk ular lintas dpn dia, si shikin ular melintas blakang dia masa dia tgh duduk rest.. Fuuhh..! lain mcm btl dlm hutan kat tioman ni..

So aku bjaya klr hutan dlm masa 2jam15min and lps 2 track road lak.. masa ni aku dah lega dah coz blh lah aku buat new pace.. for d info, road kat tioman mostly by concrete not tar and that d reason vehicle r not bound by d JPJ R&R.. so kat sini x yah nak guna helmet or byr road tax pun.. tp aku x suka lari atas concrete coz it'll exaggerate aku nya knee injury.. :( mMmm.. apa blh buat lari je lah and suddenly masa on d way ke kg.juara aku selisih dgn 1 mamat ni, aku pun wonder kenapa mamat ni patah blk.. injured ke dia coz dia bjalan je tp lps 2 aku jumpa lg 2-3 runner, br aku tahu kena u turn kat kg. juara.. ahh sudah.. coz msh aku selisih dgn diaorg semua, aku tgh blari trn & diaorg tgh 'bjalan' naik so bila aku tanya ada lah roughly dlm 2k utk sampai check point kg.juara.. mMmmm perit2 tp kat sini mmg ramai bdk2 kaki gunung aku sayur blk coz diaorg bjalan je.. sampai check point @ kg juara tgh panas terik tp dpt air mineral x sjk, tekak pun x lah nak terima tp minum je.. so mula lah pendakian aku bpatah blk naik atas.. fuhh.. perit2.. jalan naik mmg mencanak, even jln concreate pun aku smpt gak bhenti take 5.. route dia adalah mcm route kita drive naik genting highland cuma jln dia lrs je.. fuhh.. perit2.. tgh aku lyn bjln naik sorang2 tiba2 ada sorang runner (jojo) panggil aku.. "bro, stop lah dulu, sggh mandi-manda kat sini.." blh aku toleh kat kiri aku nmk ada 3 runners tgh mandi kat 1 rmh yg undr construction.. rmh ni ada 2 kolah kat sblh tepi dia.. mMmm.. aku pun decide join lah, sdp gak lah klu dpt 1 das gayung ni.. oppss slp bkn gayung tp baldi, 2 yg jd 3-4 kali aku siram 2... fuhh dia nya air mmg sjk giler.. mmg best btl, rasa btl2 freshh mcm mandi air sg. je.. Well thats d beauty or being a slow runner, blh btl2 nikmati alam sekitar.. :) lps 2 sambg lari dlm kelompok 4 org, aku+jojo+bro azhar(navy)+sorang mamat askar ni..

Lps je route jln ni, rupa2 nya ada masuk hutan lg.. ahh sudah.. tension2.. tp masa msk htn ni aku yg lead.. half way br tkr lead, htn ni x mencabar coz dah ada track + trn tangga.. so masa trn tangga ni lah lutut start sakit.. mMmm.. tahan jelah.. aku rasa ada lah dlm 45min dlm htn br klr, so bila klr ada lah dlm 4k utk sampai blk ke berjaya.. time ni kena lari lalu kg.tekek so ramai lah yg bg tepukan & semangat.. atlast after 5.05min aku bjaya sampai fininshing line.. fuhh.. alhamdulillah.. akhirnya sampai gak..

Meow as usuall did us proud by claiming 4th position in women local.. Congrates..!!

At d end, lutut btambah sakit + kaki luka tpijak duri.. fuhh.. memang perit2..!! Will i particapte in another eco-challenge.. mMmm.. lets c whats comes around..

SAS ECO-CHALLENGE - T.BERA

Well this time around aku join race Sultan Ahmad Shah(SAS) Eco-Challenge 1st leg @ bera on 2/5, this going 2 b my 2nd eco-challenge race.. Aku konvoy bertujuh dgn gang2 eco-challenge dr kl meow,dila,john,munzir,wawan & iwan.. Gerak dr kl dlm kul 4pm and sampai bera roughly dlm kul 630pm.. Sampai sana registration counter dah tutup tp official dr Army ramai lg kat situ so smpt bbual dgn diaorg & diaorg pun bg lah a few tips about d track dlm htn + sungai2 yg kena tempuh.. Aduhh.. Ada sg. lah plak..!!

Pagi 2 lps bfast kitaorg gerak ke t.bera.. sampai dlm kul 730.. masa reg. notice yg 80% of participant dr bdn beruniform.. Mak aii.. masak lah aku, harap2 jgn lah last..

(L-R) Dila,Miow,John,Iwan,Munzir,Wawan + gang from Klang..

Race start dlm kul 9am.. International flag off 1st, dlm 5 min after baru local pun start.. Start lari on d road dlm 3km b4 msk htn.. Baru lari x sampai 100meter dah kena daki bukit mcm bkt tunku, 1st bkt selamba je.. lps tu 2nd bukit lak ok je lps tu 3rd bukit lak.. mak aii mencanak beb, aku daki pelan2 je tp aku tgk ramai yg dah bjalan kat belakang.. lps 2 still byk bkt but mendatar je, aku lari maintain pace je..

Race Map

Bila msk hutan aku still ok lagi cuma bila dah jam kat dlm 2 pace pun dah x de.. Nak overtake pun susah so aku ikut je crowd.. lpas 2 br nampak dila & munzir overtake aku, licik btul diaorg through pass d crowd, nak follow pun susah.. roughly after 10min br meow & wawan overtake aku so aku pun decide 2 follow je diaorg.. dlm htn ni byk kali aku tlangar akar pokok, byk kali aku tersungkur & terlentang sekali but after awhile kitaorg pun klr htn & jumpa 1st check point roughly about 1hr20min.. but masa nak klr hutan 2 kitaorg dah jumpa 4-5 runners kenya yg dah bpatah blk.. fuhh.. laju sggh diaorg ni..!

Klr hutan msk ladang kelapa sawit tp kena daki lak guna tali utk msk ladang.. ada lah tinggi dlm 1 tingkat bgn.. Well this is all where d story started.. time ni aku msh dgn wawan & meow, so bila aku tgk wawan pace meow so aku pun decided 2 follow them istead of terus je lari dgn pace aku.. masa ni meow dlm post 8 catogary perempuan so bttr aku tolong wawan utk get her placing.. we managed 2 get her pass through 2 VAT ladies 2 put her in 6th post. and hopefully dpt beat another runners yg kat dpn.. but a while after that she started to cramp.. ahh.. sudah..! aku tahu klu dah start cramp masa lari ni cramp ni aku bterusan coz aku ada experienced dgn teamate aku masa traiblazer thn lps.. so aku & wawan managed 2 recovered her left leg yg cramp 2 tp tiba2 dia jerit yg kaki kanan dia lak kena cramp.. waduh..!! aku & wawan push lak kaki kanan dia well after a few minit dia ok & kitaorg trs lari but by this time d 2 VATS ladies dah manage potong kitaorg.. so she back in 8th post. & onward after that meow bterusan cramp alhamdulillah we managed 2 get her back on foot.. But i know she is very strong girl coz rite after recovered je dia terus lari balik eventhough dlm ladang ni je dah bpuluh kali dia cramp.. masa time ni sorang lg runner perempuan dr MPK managed 2 pass her through so rite now she is in post. 9.. so our target now is to maintain her placing.. harap2 x de lg yg dpt potong..

Klr je ladang kelapa sawit kena msk blk hutan b4 d cut off period of 4hrs.. msk je hutan aku tgk meow laju je lari n wawan follow blkang.. tp aku x larat dah so aku decided slow n steady bjalan je dlm hutan, bila sampai kat tmpt medic aku lpk kjp.. bila abg din sampai aku trs start blk jalan dgn dia sampai klr hutan.. dlm hutan ni mental gak coz rasa lama sgt.. so lps 5jam5min aku pun sampai kat finishing.. Fuhh.. lega sungguh.. alhamdullah bjaya akhir nya atleast bkn lah last coz ramai lg runners yg kat blkg yg tido dlm hutan pun ada..


Roughly 4 ptg br lah kitaorg lunch kat pekan bera.. dr t.bera ke pekan ada lah dlm 55km.. Ptg 2 dila & meow blanja kitaorg lunch.. hihi.. dila managed post. 5 and meow manage post.9.. so murah rezeki lah diaorg 2 & rezeki kitaorg pun murah gak.. :) thanx dila, thanx meow.. bangga sggh coz d both girls in ur group dpt placing.. well lps mkn kita grk blk & sampai kl dlm kul 730pm..
