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..

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..!!

Sabtu

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..
