CAR's 10km Family Run

It was a cool and rainy Sunday morning. Best gils kalau dapat tidur lagi sepanjang pagi but noooo, berlari adalah lebih menarik. Ok, oleh kerana hari hujan, the track are very slippery especially on the hilly course. Jadi kenalah ambil langkah extra berjaga-jaga sebabnya kalau terjatuh dengan apa gaya sekalipun, it will do no good for me (memanjangkan lagi tempoh pemulihan, ohh noooo-noooo). As I'm still not fully recovered from my injury, the least i can do is lari-geli-geli. It's still fun plus it helps me to sweat way more than normal walking mode does.


Here's the result for my category;

Hurm not bad kan for lari-geli-geli? Hehe So after lari terus sambar air and makanan yang dah terhidang. Siap ada nasi lemak, tembikai, pisang, roti banyak lagilah, memang best. Lepas makan segala bagai, melepak-lepak ngan family CAR sambil bergambar-gambar. Overall the event was smoothly organized eventho I'm not really into hilly course and lari berulang-ulang track yang sama. Bila lari ulang-ulang track yang sama, rasa saiko kuts ntah I just don't like it. The finisher's medal was beautiful but the t-shirt ummm total disaster. Bak kata Mr Seketari, the kedai ter-order ikut size US. Takpe, boleh di-improvekan lagi next year.



Apa-apapun, to Chap Ayam team, congratulations for a successful event, we had fun running (minus the hilly route-nak mampos den dibuatnya) and looking forward to the next CAR's event yaw. Job very well done, syabas!

No good :(

I'm so stress with life right now. some stuff hurts a lot. Arghhhh hate it and hate it all. At particular point, i feel that i have no one that i can turn to. I've never felt so alone and it's scary. How i wish things are the way they were before, nahhhh it's not gonna happen. All that i know, from this point onwards i have to deal everything on my own. It's hard, very very hard. But i guess i have to live with it. Ahhhhhh, just wish i could get away somewhere right now,

and i really miss everything...

p/s:Skrg ni, teringin benar nak attend Borneo International Marathon 2010 dkt KK, tapi takde budgetlah pulak nak beli air ticket. Unless kalau ada org nak bayar hutang bolehlah jugak pergi. sighhhhh :(

Bukit Tabur Hiking Challenge

The moment I received the invitation, I am very-very excited. Gosh, I've been wanting to climb Bukit Tabur for quite sometime but to plan it myself, nahhhh not in a million years.

Woke up as early as 5.00am. Big plannya ialah to catch the sunrise. Unfortunately, due to heavy mist, scenary-nya tidak seperti yang diingini, tapi takpe, scenery-nya still lebih menarik dari puncak casa indah hahahahahaha
(love you babe). Ok sebelum hiking, takdelah sempat sangat nak mengoogle habis-habisan, jadi mental saya hanya bersedia untuk hiking ala jungle-trekking plus dd kata it takes about 30mins to get to the peak. Yeah rite, later i found out itu hanya first peaknya sahaja choiiii!!!! I've done some trekking before, jadi ingatnya takdelah beza sangat. Ya ampun, kesudahannya memang tak layak nak panggil jungle-trekking pun, giler hiking tahap gaban nak mampos, ggrrrrr...


Not much pictures taken as I had to keep the camera in my backpack most of the times especially when the trail became very steep and I really have to concentrate on my footing! Apparently, the pictures below do no justice to the real challenges I've done up there :( So if you guys out there are planning for Tabur's hike, please prepare yourself mentally and physically for the very steep and unforgiving climbs & drops. Percayalah, silap sikit memang ada berpotensi jatuh 40m - 120m ke bawah. Seram bangat!!!



Masa ini ingat dah sampai, sekali tengok ada lagi 3. Aduhai, rasa nak pengsan!!!


It took us slightly more than 4 hours to complete the climb up & down. Mananya 30mins hahahaha. Balik ikut jalan kebun, sesak kalau ikut jalan yang sama plus saikoo kuts kalau nak turun ikut jalan yang naik tapi mak aiii jauh giler, boleh patah kaki masa nak turun tu. Apa-apa pun, the expedition were highly enjoyable, of course!!!



p/s: Kalau nak pergi jangan lupa bawa;

1. Mineral water (at least 1.5l)
2. Isotonic drinks
3. Hand gloves
4. Foods
5. Camera

Energizer Night Race

Facts:

1. This marked our 2nd night race in 2010. Well, just fyi, eventho we're blessed for indirect sunlight, but the night heat is unbearable.

2. Loves the vest and the bib. For the first time ever i have my personalised running bib, and the number P14001 means that i am the very first person registered for my category. Giler bersemangat kan? hahaha


3. Arrived @ Cyberjaya as early as 6.30pm coz we have to take shuttle from designated parking area which is quite far from the reporting depot. Next, headlight collection. Put it on, tadaaa any resemblance? Macam Naruto, only prettier ahaks :)



4. Sangat suka ada sufficient water station every 2.5km, ada gatorade lagi, best! Xdelah macam my last run, dah abis terhidrasi baru ada air, yg ini memang hebat. Then after 6km (kut), siap ada refreshing water spray by bomba. I rasa sbnrnya utk 21km & 42km runners, dah ada terpaksa lalu. Takdelah best sgt pasal ia akan memberatkan baju n kasut serta pemangkin kepada pelepasan haba dari permukaan bumi.

5. Saya agak tidak berpuashati dengan lokasi starting point dgn race village sangatlah jauh with no proper signs to direct runners to toilets, baggage deposit etc. Selepas lari, sangat kelam kabut sbb runners have no idea what to do next. Dahlah penat, jenuh nak cari refreshments and goodies dalam gelap. And I was just wondering, semua orang dapat medal ker? Sbb sepatutnya those yang completed within qualifying time jer yg dapat but since the medal letaknya dalam goodie bag, rasanya semua dapat kut co i tak rasa depa nak check sorang2 dalam kekelam-kabutan itu. Tak rasa macam superstar langsung macam ni.


6. Result: Me- 62mins, MissE-57mins. Ada improvement. So ini jer gambar yg ada with medal. Yang lain sumer gegar-gegar, almaklumlah dah penat, tangan pun abis menggeletar babe, nak pegang camera pun dah tak larat hehe. Jadi itulah sahaja aktiviti larian untuk bulan Mac. Toddles!
