BHP Orange Run 2010

JWOL or BHP Orange Run? After a great deal of thought (beria giler lah kan), finally on a beautiful Sunday morning I've decided to run BHP-11k. Reached The Curve at 6.20am, tak ramai sangat lagi yang ada lagipun since there are 3 others events happening on the same day, PD Triathlon, JWOL and Taiping Heritage Run so rasanya takkan ada ramai sangatlah kut.

Back to my BHP Orange Run, female runners were flagged off at 7.15am, 15 minutes earlier than the male runners. The route is kinda hilly thus the organizers should consider to set up at least 3 water stations. Ini ada dua sahaja boleh pengsan kedahagaan aku or maybe it's about time for me to splurge on this ;). As usual I run steadily while enjoying the scenery of Bandar Utama. Finally, I managed to finish the race in 1:15hr. yippie, yeayy, yooooo!

Oh the greatest part about the entire race was ....... it's FREE! Yeap, FREE! No registration fee. So fair enoughlah xde finisher medal n running vest. But we were given a goodie bag contain a certificate, RM 3 BHP voucher, BHP water tumbler and a mineral water. Eh ada lagi free Nasi Lemak (sedap bangat!), Vico, Revive, Teh Tarik, Fitness cereal & banyak lagilah. Manyak fun oooooo!

The Route

With CAR member

With my schoolmate, Yana

The best running number I've ever had, I'm loving it :)

He's officially an I.D.I.O.T

Do you still remember this? So yesterday I bumped into Miss K (who shall not be named). It's been a while since I last saw her and we had quite a long chat. For your info, Miss K and Mr Bragger a.k.a Mr B went to the same uni together. They're quite close with each other, not until recently as Mr B has turned into a complete idiots.

Long story short, saya ingatkan dia merenyam with his fiancee during the cold phase with my friend, nope i'm wrong. Absolutely wrong. He was actually on a double date instead, with my friend and his fiancee. Reason he's no longer interested with my friend is that my dear friend is not rich while his fiance is somebody with money. Yang paling sakit hati, when Miss K advised him on his 'wrongdoing' toward his girlfriend, he replied "Dia bukan girlfriend aku, dia yang nak sangat dekat aku, aku bukan nak sangat kat dia". WTH???

Nak dijadikan cerita jugak, a few months back Mr B won something big on a national tv. OMG, serius dia rasa semua orang akan kenal dia. Mr B mempunyai sikap keberlagakan tahap tinggi. Siap kalau orang tak tanya, dia akan cakap dulu "takkan u tak pernah nampak i, i was on a national tv"...bla bla bla. Now you know why we called him Mr B. Ok, let's cut the crap, sebab kalau nak list apa yang dimerapukan, the list goes on and on, tak abis i tell you. He even claimed that since he's a very famous person now, having a fiancee/relationship will limit his career rise opportunity. So he called off the engagement. As simple as that. Wallawey, as if you're superstar sangatlah kan? Now i heard he's already seeing another woman, not an ordinary woman (of course), a very rich woman indeed.

Seriously, when Miss K told me the whole truth, rasa macam nak pergi belasah jer si Mr B. And of course i didn't. If i did, dah menjatuhkan tahap profesionalisme diriku sama macam Si B. To Mr B, all i want to say is you didn't deserved to be respected, and trust me, an a**h*** (forgive my language) like you are going nowhere in life. Just remember what goes around, comes around and I believe in karma. For whatever you screwed my friend on, you're gonna get screwed as much. Enuff said!

Siemens Run 2010

Here it goes....

1. My 1st run for the month of July.

2. Distance: 10k

3.Route: First 7k the route was actually the same route i ran for KL City Day Run. It was fun running up & down the hills. Yessss, FUN! haha. The final 3k, hurmmm serius rasa lama macam nak pengsan.

The Route (source: here)

I must say the organizers did a great job. Adequate water stations (except kekalutan bekas-bekas tak berisi air awal-awal), and the cheers group along the final 1k of the race, awesome dude. In the end I clocked 1:06 for the race (ranked 104), 7 minute improvement from my previous 10k race. Oh yes, I'm happy with the result as the route for this race is a little bit challenging compared to SCKLM. What makes me feel like a true champion is that I'm 3 minutes ahead of Miss E. Wehooo!!! Heehee Miss E, silalah memulakan lawatan ke gym semula yer (kalau tak ada potensi kena bawa naik ambulance nanti ;) ). Dan seperti biasa, lepas berlari acara wajib ialah melepak bersama geng-geng, bergambar sekala bagai dan akhirnya breakfast. Puas hati makan indomie goreng daging burger double @ hartamas plus iced lemon tea. Heaven!

Mr Seketari, saya ambil gambar ni yer

My very first KL marathon

Prelude

The title above bunyinya macam saya lari full marathon jer kan? Haha not yet fella. Half marathon pun belum ada gaya lagi, full marathon lambat lagi kut. For your information this is my only run since Runner's Malaysia Anniversary Breakfast Run, which was held on April. Yes, yes, you read that right. April! With that, dengan hormatnya saya mengumumkan bahawa saya tidak berlari hatta 1km pun sepanjang 2 bulan ini. Training pun tiada bah. About 2 weeks before the KLM, i thought i would have enough time to do crash-training and guess what? I was sent to Batu Pahat for 2 consecutive weeks. yeap, 2 weeks before the ultimate SCKLM. There goes my ultimate training schedule. Dok pusing2 Batu Pahat, ngak jumpa pulak tempat yang boleh nak lari. Makan pulak memang boleh tahan. Dang, I'm doomed!

Event Day

Woke up as early as 3.30am. Aiyo awal giler, my run mula at 7.00am. All because of parking babe. All major road leads to Dataran Merdeka will be closed at 5am. Aishh, tidak mahulah adinda menapak jauh gara-gara jalan ditutup. So sampai Padang Merbuk lebih kurang 4.15am. Orang pun tak ramai lagi. About 5.45am, baru gerak ke Dataran Merdeka. Aiyo, acara tak mula lagi, rasa dah berpeluh-peluh satu badan. OMG, memang nervous giler nak mampos. Nervous macam mula-mula nak lari 10k dulu. Kecut-kecut usus perut wey!

6.30am mula masuk kandang pelari-pelari. Aiyah, lagilah gugup. Semua nampak tegar-tegar giler. Memang rasa tak berapa betul dah masa ni. Ada depa duk wat warm-up pun saya buat tak reti babe. Fokus kunun-kunun. Tepat kul 7am, zassss kami dilepaskan untuk memulakan larian. Seriously, nak angkat kaki pun x larat woit. Padanlah muka sendiri. Sorang-sorang berlari melepasi saya. Sedih giler dah time ni. Boleh ke abis within qualifying time? Arghh, gasaklah, janji jangan stop. Power walk pun power walk lah. Untung badan dapat lari sama Fahrin Ahmad.. muahaaa cita-cita tinggi tak tahan. Tapi sampai sudah tak jumpa pun.

After 4km, wooo steady lagi. Minum dulu. Teruskan berlari. pastu sampai Masjid Negara. Ok lagi. Memang slow macam siput. Tapi steady. Lepas Lake Garden, mak aiiiii ini ialah stretch yang paling ku tidak gemari. loooooongggg boring stretch. Lepas tu sampai depan bulatan depan Bank Rakyat. Yeay dah nak sampai. Oh no, not yet. The last 2km loop really drive me nuts. Why oh why, dari banyak-banyak jalan dalam KL ni, mesti loop at the very last km. Mentally tortured man.Finally, walaupun dalam hati mengomel tak sudah, akhirnya berjaya jugak menghabiskan acara larian. So far, this is my worst 10k timing ever. I finished 1:13:29. Lembab giler memandangkan it was the flattest 10k route i ever participated.

Ok, for your information 2 things taht got me mental throughout the entire event; the last 2 km loop and baggage pick up drama. 1hr babe. 1 jam beratur bawah matahari terik untuk ambil bag. Elok-elok tak terbakar masa berlari, masa nak ambil bag pulak terus terbakar macam mandi di Manukan. Tak berbaloi betul. Lepas ambil bag, g amik-amik gambar sikit and ambil mineral water perghhhh banyak giler ok. Sama macam ni. Puas hati buat stok mineral water muahaaa. Overall, ok lah. I am not happy with my time but i'd fun running with my sister. Until next time, toodles!



p/s: Pics will be upload later yer. Gosh, Siemens Run in 2 days. Just wish me luck peep!
