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,
on knee(l-r): shikin,ann & shikin

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..

IPOH INTERNATIONAL RUN ~ Chaos

Date: 5/7/09
Time: 6.55am
Distance: 10km

Bgerak from kl lewat skit coz kamarul & hamdi sampai labat (mtr rosak).. so roughly 4.30pm br klr dr kl.. stop by kat tapah & kat sana jumpa midon,naresh,murali + jasni so gerak ke ipoh sekali.. sampai ipoh roughly 7pm ++ tp x jumpa stdm.. lama gak lah pusing town ipoh ni dkt kul 9 br sampai stdm indramulia utk abik bib no.. tp bib aku sarjit (member off branch ipoh) dah tolong ambik kan so bila sampai hotel br dia bg bib, thanx bro.. mlm 2 aku stay @ hotel lotte dgn zaki,azhar,adai,midon,naresh,jasni,murali dlm family suite.. thanx 2 ann + irina coz tolong book kan hotel 4 us..

Tgh bincang strategy


Subuh yg lebat..

Pg 2 kul 5am dah bgn tp kat luar hujan selebat2 nya.. tension je semua org masa ni, midon time ni pun dah rasa x nak lari dah.. anyway dlm kul 6.15am kitaorg gerak gak ke stdm dlm hujan lebat.. sampai je sana redah je hujan utk ke starting point, eventhough hjn x reda lg tp ramai yg dah sampai.. we been inform earlier yg race utk semua category akan start serentak.. tfikir gak lah bila semua start @ d same time blh klm kabut masa starting nanti.. pkl 7am semua runners dah bkumpul kat starting point dlm keadaan hujan msh trn lg coz pikir yg event dah nak start.. adalah dlm 15min aku bdiri dlm hjn tp race msh x start lg so bila dah x tahan sejuk aku pg bteduh kat dpn stadium.. gila diaorg ni, x kan nak tggu hjn bhenti br nak start race padahal runners semua dah get ready kat starting point.. so kul 7.30am br d lps kan.. maknanya semua runners kena bhujan dlm 30min br start lari.. gila!! stupid!!

start je race, semua bdesup.. aku tgk ada yg btolak2 coz jalan nak klr stdm 2 sempit skit + redah je lopak2 air.. aku start dgn slow pace je coz mmg x larat sgt tp lari gak lah.. since semua category lari serentak mmg ramai time la jalan coz x perasan signage yg kat tepi jalan 2 bila ramai sgt runners.. aku lari ni pun ikut je runners dpn yg pakai bib sama category..

time ni aku maintain je larian aku & gang2 runners yg lain awal2 lg dah sayur aku.. memang terasa lah sakit dr SCKL yg x recover lg.. sampai ke finishing line ari ni.. klu x slp dlm 3k br hujan bhenti + time ni lah br route 10k & 21k split.. ada gak lah yg tsilapku lari slow pace & bila dah dkt dgn stadium br gear up skit pace aku.. akhirnya aku cross fininshing line dgn timing 50min tp medal dah x ada.. but its ok coz memang aku x target pun dlm event 10k ni..

masa sampai kat fininshing line 2, official dia x bg pun sijil tp aku been inform yg sijil blh collect kat booth yg disediakan.. bila sampai booth 2 aku tgk ramai sgt yg tgh beratur so aku malas lah nak collect setakat sijil je, biar lah gang2 lain lain q coz diaorg nak collect medal diaorg.. tp aku tgk org btambah ramai + q x gerak2.. time ni lah keadaan btambah kelam kabut, tmpt ambik medal + cert at d same place.. ramai gak lah aku tgk yg dah mengamuk kena q lama just nak ambik cert je.. yg nak ambk medal pun bengang gak coz lari 10k je dah 50min tp q nak ambik medal+cert 1hr5min.. mengarut sggh..!! aku tgk zaki pun dah x nak ambik medal dia.. nama je INTERNATIONAL event tp organizer teruk betul..!!
Kena berebut nak ambik cert & medal..

ada sorang mamat ni siap boleh curi 1 beg plastik medal masa keadaan tgh kelam kabut 2... padan lah muka diaorg.. even 1 of d official blh ckp kat aku "u can't compare this w kl", bila aku mention kat diaorg yg event kat kl x mcm ni.. mMmm.. whatever lah..!!

Time: 5.00am
Venue: Dataran Merdeka
Target: 5hr30min


W d chap ayam gang b4 d race.. (l-r) Azhar,Zainy,Ida,Farid,Zaki + Me..

So tat morning arrived @ dtrn dlm kul 3.50am, aku pg dgn aki,adai & azhar(geng2 biasa aku).. masa sampai weather ok je.. tp dlm kul 4.35am hujan trn so tpaksa lah kitaorg warming up dlm hujan.. flag off tpt kul 5am still dlm keadaan hujan tp x lebat lah, aku rasa ada lah dlm 4k br hujan trn so cuaca mmg sjk sikit.. anyway pace aku masa ni slow skit tp dpt maintain pace, masa ni mmg ramai gak lah yg potong aku.. laju2 diaorg ni.. aku reach 10k dlm masa 59min, well not bad time aku coz within 1hr.. larian smooth je.. bila sampai mark 15k, ambk pisang kat wtr station.. rasa nya still early utk mkn psg so carry je lah dlm 18k br mkn psg 2.. bila reach 20k kat area chow kit aku drop by kat shell station 4 toilet.. timing masa 2 dlm 2hr5min..

Bila sampai kat area pavillion dlm 27k, peha aku dah rasa skt.. pelik gak coz normally lutut yg skt tp lutut aku still ok lg.. anyway its not affected larian aku, so carry on lari cam biasa je cuma kat area bkt bintang ni up hill skt.. sampai petaling street kat 30k aku sggh toilet 4 2nd time, timing dlm 3hr20min.. still with in target sama cam last yr gak, hopefully dpt sampai dlm 5hr.. time ni aku dah start jalan kaki je coz jln kat stdm negara ni uphill, x larat sgt nak lari.. tp msk jln hang tuah aku lari blk sampai ke flyover dwn bahasa lps 2 continue bjalan daki flyover 2.. bila trn flyover pickup truck dbkl pass by aku dgn 3-4 runners yg injured dlm 2.. so mgkn ni lah sweeper bus yg biasa organiser sediakan utk runners yg injured + x larat utk habis kan marathon diaorg.. harap2 jgn lah aku sekali2 naik bus ni masa buat full.. x rela aku unless klu btl2 injured lah..

Sampai wisma tani dlm 38k jumpa IM zulhassan tgh blenggang.. halfway lg dia dah injured.. dpn wisma tani ada wtr station tp air dah habis.. memang x patut btl benda cam ni happen masa lari full marathon.. so far d 3 full yg aku lari x pernah happen mcm ni.. btl2 cam low class je organiser ni coz x leh nak foresee benda mcm ni boleh happen bila wtr station is being share w 10k,21, & 42k.. aku slowly lari coz nak reach finhising line dlm 5hr tp bila sampai jln kat JKR perut aku dah senak.. sama cam last yr gak bila sampai area sini mgkn jln kat jkr ni down hill so tpaksa lah aku bend down utk 3-4 kali.. time ni aku rasa mmg x de harapan je nak reach 5hr.. sampai bgn dbkl dah 4hr40, tiggal lg 3k 2 go tp memang sakit gak lah nak maintain pace, mcm ni lah bila x ckp training.. turn jauh gak lah kat bgn cycle & carriage d chow kit, bila sampai bgn MJ jumpa linda tgh bjalan.. laju gak cik kak ni tp dah cramp tpaksa bjalan je.. so spanjang jalan TAR memang ramai org kiri kanan yg tgk + bg semangat, jumpa gak kak jenap yg on d way blk hotel.. so bila sampai kat dtrn dah ramai org kiri kanan bg tepukan semangat kat fininsher runner yg baru sampai.. nampak lah member2 yg dah lama tggu aku sampai dlm panas 2.. thanx guys.. bila aku tgk ramai supporter kat finishing line 2 aku rasa bsemangat cam lari kat singapore je.. atmosphere dia kat finishing line memang meriah cuma bserabut skit bila ramai sgt org yg dah habis lari blegar kat dpn jln fininshing.. anyway akhirnya sampai gak aku d finishing line dgn timing 5:07:34.. well x dpt nak timing sub 5 this time but still within initial target + bttr than sundown hr 2..
