DER PACEMAKERS CIRCUIT RUN 3 - "erkh.. u nampak ke apa tu..!

13/6/09
9pm
Tmn Bkt. Jalil


Race mlm ni, 1st time aku trn belari sjk blk dr sundown dlm 2 mggu lps.. rasa x confident utk lari still ada since lutut aku msh skt lagi tp aku buat biasa je setiap kali attemp race.. masa kat starting line sempatlah borak dgn mitchelle, aku ckp aku nak lari follow dia.. hihi.. (mkn asap lah jwb nya..) race start ontime kul 9pm.. 1st 2k lari ok je pace aku tp lps 2 perut aku senak.. hampehh.. x warm up dgn btl td.. stop jap, buat warm up dulu.. masa ni lah abg mahdi potong.. "pg dulu bang".. lps 2 gehjan lak potong.. "aku ok bro.." lps ok br sambung lari.. 1st lap 17min.. msk lap ke 3, aku tgk timing dlm 54min.. alrite.. within target.. total lap kena cover 7.. lari dlm tmn bkt jalil ni sakit sikit coz bbukit tp menarik psl track dia x bosan sgt.. msk lap ke 5, mitchelle dah potong aku.. mMmm dah agak dah..

Masa last lap, gaps antara runners mmg dah jauh dah.. so bila naik bkt selepas tasik kat blkg 2 aku jalan je.. x larat nak lari dah.. masa ni aku sorang2 je, mmg x de runners dpn & blkg aku.. tp x lah sepi sgt coz sblh 2 highway je, mmg dgr bunyi kereta cuma x nmpak je coz track kat atas bkt + tselindung dgn pokok2.. lps daki bkt aku lari pelan2 approaching toilet yg kat blkg 2.. suddenly bila aku lps je toilet 2, aku ternampak kelibat sekor binatang dlm 10 meter dpn aku.. keadaan track 2 kelam sikit, binatang 2 btl2 kat tgh track tgh nak cross dr kanan ke kiri.. aku stop coz aku cuak sikit + confused..! binatang apa 2..!!!

Bila aku toleh belakang, aku nmpk sorang runner ni dlm 10mtr blkg aku.. so aku tggu dia sampai kat aku.. bila aku toleh blk kat dpn binatang 2 dah hilang.. aku tanya runner 2.. "erkh.. u nampak ke apa tu..?" dia ckp.. "anjing ke..!" aku senyap je.. aku smbg lari blk dgn dia.. bila dah lps dr tmpt aku nmpk binatang 2 cross.. aku ckp dlm hati.. "itu bkn anjing..! tp 2 binatang pembawa "INFLUENZA H1N1"..!! ehh apa dia buat kat dlm tmn bkt jalil ni..!! ahh.. confused aku.. btl ke apa yg aku nampak 2.. tp dgn physical yg bsr + kepala menunduk mengadap tanah masa bjln.. aku confident dgn apa yg aku nampak.. well nsb baik aku nmpk masa last lap so x lah kena lalu lg tmpt 2.. so at last aku managed habis kan larian dgn timing 2jam20minit.. not bad coz timing aku 10mnt lbh awal dr target aku.. masa lpk mkn + minum aku tanya regular runner yg biasa dgn track 2, diaorg admit apa yg aku nmpk 2 memang betul....!


mcm biasa, santapan after race..

1st trophy..

great organisor + nice food..

Timing Chip guna chronotrack system (chip dia ada kat blkg tag)


10.15pm - Gerak dr hotel ke changi, boarding kat station mrt paya lebar dlm 8 station sampai kat pasir ris station.. so dr situ naik shuttle bus dia pg ke starting point.. on d way naik bus 2 mmg jam sgt lah so sampai pun kira2 20 min b4 race start.. so sampai je trs tkr baju + warming up lebih krg je.. x smpt aku nak buat routine ritual aku b4 race (apa lg.. pg toilet lah) mMmm jawap nya tkedu2 lah masa lari nanti..

Route ke Starting point..

Kitaorg start race at d behind pack.. org ramai sgt nak sampai ke starting point pun bjalan dlm 3-4min.. sesak dia aku rasa ada lah mcm sesak bila klr dr masjid jamek lps smbyg jumaat.. lps 2 br lah blh blari tp x blh buat apa2 pun, lari ikut blkg org rapat2 coz org ramai + jalan dia pun sempit dlm 2 lane je.. dlm 10min lbh gak lah kitaorg mcm ni, selit2 kiri kanan je.. panas lari tgh mlm ni.. mak aii.. bahang betul.. kena lak lari sblh runaway airport changi mgkn tar jln dia yg buat rasa bahang.... fuhh kuyup aku.. padahal aku rasa br lari dlm 2-3 k, pace pun x de lg.. 10k aku just nice dlm 62min.. well dlm pace aku je, masa dlm 11k aku jumpa zaki and lari dgn dia je sampai dlm 15k lps 2 aku dah x larat.. memang slow, tgk timing pun mmg pelahan dr biasa, this time mmg rasa penat & mcm nak stop bjln je tp aku dpt maintain lari lg pelan2.. masa ni lari kat east cost park and baru lah x rasa bahang sgt, kat sini ramai yg camping.

After 22k br klr dr east cost park, timing mmg teruk.. masa 20k pun dah cecah 2:30.. entah lah yg aku tahu lps 14k td mmg aku x larat.. dr east cost park kena cross highway 2 d other side guna overhead bridge(jejatas).. o/h bridge jenis ram dia yg motor + bicycle pun blh cross.. lain mcm sggh m'thon ni, kena lari cross jejantas lak.. aku jln je masa menaik( x lrt babe).. Msk kwsn resident lari tepi2 aprtment + blkg rmh + tepi station mrt + sblh longkang bsr mcm sg. + cross longkang dgn jmbtn bgoyang bila ramai runners lari at d same time (ingatkan suspension bridge..) nsb baik x roboh.. bila sampai 26k jumpa lg naik jejantas yg ke 3, kena cross highway lg.. brp byk highway nak cross ni.. tp jejantas ni guna tangga lak.. adohh.. kaki dah lah x leh nak bend, kena lah naik ni.. rasa cam nak merangkak je.. slow & steady je lah aku naik..


D final sprint @ finishing line.. Fuhh lega babe..

Bila sampai bedok reservoir, track bpasir + bdebu.. aku cuba lari ikut rumput kat tepi tp kejap je coz glp + x even.. so blasah je lah lari ats pasir.. msk 30k dah start lari kat tepi jln guna pave way.. yg x best track concrete (bad 4 my knee..) time ni dah x larat so strategy just tackle 1k at a time tp 1k rasa jauh je.. fuhh.. bila lah nak sampai ni.. 30k pun dah dlm 3:45.. penat + letih + mengatuk.. last 2k rasa jauh je dah 2 bila msk kwsn changi bbukit lak.. waduhh.. mana entrace ke finishing line ni.. yup there u r tp instead cross jmbtn kecik yg straight ke fininshing, runners kena lari guna jln jauh yg sblh kanan br pusing blk pg finishing line (teringat kat finishing LG).. wahh.. at last aftr 5hrs54m51s, sampai pun aku kat fininshing... fuhh jauh sggh off target dlm 24minit, PB pun off 1hr.. lps je finishing line 2 aku pg timbang kat scale.. b4 race 57.2kg, after race 55.8kg.. sekilo lbh brt aku trn.. Masa ni aku cuma ingat blk hotel + shower + aircond 16 degree + bantal + blanket + zzZZzzz....
