Deb's 5th Marathon: The Sub-6 Edition
Hi all, post lambat sikit, mood lambat datang ngeee~ How to start? Ok, This was my first full marathon in Penang but it was 5th marathon to date. If you've read my post earlier, I did want my 5th marathon to be somewhat special, and for the first time ever I have set to beat my PB which i did in SCKLM (6:37). Tidaklah teman target tinggi benar, biarlah realistic gitu (ukur kira training segala bagai) dan sub6:30 sounds doable dan kalau tak dapat pon, to be able to finish before 6:36 would be great too. So sub6:30 it is! (kekal begini sehingga habis race day)

see tak ramai orang |
FM ambil kat sini :) |
mula-mula pekena sup dulu |
lepak erkk lompat kat Hard Rock |
supper Nasi Kandaq lol |
nice pose ;) |
this is what actually happened before the shot, nak bergaya punya pasal berterabur ice tu lol |
We had lunch at Queenbay Mall (again), and to meet up fellow friends yang baru sampai untuk pass race kit mereka. Lepas tu terus ke Gurney Plaza untuk dinner dan terus pulang ke hotel untuk berehat. Masa ni memang dah gemuruh tapi berjaya juga tido dalam 2 jam setengah. Woke up at 9.45pm untuk bersiap. Awal kan? I know tapi almaklumlah nak balut kaki segala bagai, that alone took me around 30minutes to get done.
geng baru sampai |
the ladies |
semalam tak set-up lagi billboard ni |

Jalan lari jalan lari yeay, dah sampai km30. Dapat gel, dan the long awaited water. Stop agak lama jugak, and I saw Ray. Said hi and terus lari dgn fairul. Tetiba Ray lari sama kat sebelah. (Shocked #2), saya pandang banyak kali tak percaya. Siap cakap kat Ray dia salah arah lari ni kemudian barulah tahu dia sakit and almost dnf the race rupanya. Ampun ye Pak, salah bertanya huhu~. Ok, sekarang kami lari bertiga. I ingat Ray ni nak lari sama sekejap jer, shit!!!! Rupanya lama dia lari sekali and I knew right then it’s gonna a supertough last 12km for me *matilah*.
Selepas itu saya lari tak berhenti (eceecee tipu lah tu, mestilah ada berhenti jalan hehe), Ray allowed me to walk but I have to walk faster *pfftttfttt*. At this point I’m still amazed with my ability untuk berlari lagi. Selama ni kalau lepas 30km kalau tak berjalan tak sah wey! Second last water station memang kena berhenti jalan lama, buat recovery breathing (somput den dibueknyo). Bila nampak Ray nak lari balik, cepat-cepat cakap "kejap, lepas last cone baru lari", bila dah habis cone "kejap, lepas papan tanda biru baru lari", hahaha nak mengelat lah kononya ahaks.
Selepas papan tanda biru, padan muka saya, tiada maaf simpati langsung huwarghhhh. The last 5km was torturous. Nak berhenti kat last water station pon tak bisa, sebab takot kesuntukan masa, plus sebenar air pon banyak lagi kat botol hehe. Tapi pissed lah jugak tak boleh berjalan *grrrrrr* pastu boleh pulak minta i upped pace. *what???* Giler ke Ray???? Jantung aku macam nak pecah dah, tapi Ray kata sebenarnya boleh. Dah kena push, kenalah buat. Muka dah memang sememeh tak hingat, bercakap pon dah tak lalu ok!
told ya memang sengsara! |
ermm huru hara as always! |
almost there, Ray tak give up dowh tapi muka saya sememeh tak ingat! Thanks Ray(credit: Aiman) |

Larian Separa Maraton Petaling Jaya
Just like any other races, this one is no different.. Main target is to finish within qualifying time, if dapat limited medal sangat umpph and if you can run faster super-awesome! Saya dapat buat satu LSD 20.6km on Sunday dan satu 10km LSD (new route -hilly and scenic - i love it) on wednesday. Itu jer tapi macam sudah cukup happy. So takdelah weekly mileage kosong macam race-race sebelum ini ;p
baru lepas u-turn kat bridge (Credit: MalaysiaRunnersNetwork) |
We were flagged off at 6.30am sharp. Kalau tengok route map dia, psycho bangat! Highway all the way, highway mana ada pokok banyak.. jadi memanglah jangkaannya terik. dan seperti yang ku jangkakan, memang panas bangat dong! Lepas pukul 7.15am dah terasa kehangatannya, lepas pukul 8am tak payahlah cerita, rentung masing-masing hahaha.
21km Route (credit: HooHa) |
love it- 200m to finish, jumping pose for Tey (credit:Tey) |
Despite banyak berjalan, I finished in 2:36, well done to me *pat shoulder* and yeay saya dapat medal *happy*. It turns out there's only 176 womens registered under my category and medals were given to the first 200 runners who've completed the race hahahha maka-nya as long as you finished, we ladies akan dapat medal :p Untuk lelaki adalah sangat tough, last medal untuk men's open orangnya habis dalam 2:07 whilst men's veteran in 2:18 *yikes* muntah aku dengar *bak kata Lily, syukur dilahirkan sebagai wanita Amin* :-)
Kak Jaja, Lily, Marlin n Azu - semua superlaju |
epic :) |
till my next post, toodles!!!
p/s: kalau ada lagi next year harap dapat tukar route, pusing masuk ss2 ke ss14 ke jalan othman ke baru lah katanya Larian PJ kan?? ;p

PNM: The Story of Deb's 4th Marathon
hoyeah! (credit: Hooha) |
my 4th FM (credit: Kak Ida) |
Cik Ruby was on a mission that night so memang after 1km dah tak nampak kelibat dah. Just after Jambatan Seri Gemilang dah sayup sayup mata memandang semua orang. Tapi kami tahu at least tak kurang 10 orang lagi kat belakang. Masa ni cukup yakin kami bukan yang last. Selepas water station pertama, kami jumpa seorang first timer marathon, Aunty Susee. Since dia takde kawan lain so we decided to run together. Dia pon happy kami lari bersama-sama. Masa dekat persiaran selatan sorang-sorang peserta HM memotong. Mak aiii laju siot diorang ni. Due to our slow-ness, banyak jugak familiar faces yang memintas. Everyone with the same question 'buat full ke?', sure dalam kepala diorang kalau buat half macam laju gilos 2 minah ni kan? hahahaha and somehere after WS 6, tetiba ada orang tegur... Hi Aini, Hi.. and she said "i read your blog", auwww so sweet and i cant see her face clearly sebab gelap and she was superfast, hilang in the blink of an eye (dear sweet reader, i hope i can see you again in the next race, tapi macam gaya Kak Lin or is that you Kak Lin???). Harap dapat jumpa kat next event ya :)
i'm good (credit: Zas) |
Approaching km21, told Irina that i need to stop to do #2. Since mobile toilet(MT) located at every 10km there's no way i can tahan for the next MT. bagitau Irina yang saya nak laju sikit so takdelah si Irina nanti menunggu lama sangat kat situ. Woahhh, lupa nak mention, masa ni hujan mula turun so dah start macam dah drama sayu lah jugak.. keluar MT, Irina were already outside waiting for me and she's alone. I asked her where's Aunty Susee n Miss C? Kata Irina, diorang lari dulu..oh ok, teruskan lari selow dan tak lama lepas tu we bumped into Aunty Susee n Miss C again. They were doing just great. So we just continue running dan tahu pace siput sedut kami ni memanglah ni dua orang akan boleh jumpa kami kat next water station.
Masa berlari ni dah ada seorang Adik Skuter dah memang asyik follow tapi kejap-kejap dia kat belakang (checking on Aunt Susee n Miss C) pastu bagitahu kami status. Maklumlah kan dah cakap nak habis sama-sama so nak budget-budget jumpa kat next water station. Pastu i tanya adik ni (Ramzan namanya),
Me: dik, kat route yang kita nak lari ni akan ada kedai tak?
Ramzan: takde kot kak, rasanya ni highway je sampai habis. kenapa?
Me: panas sangatlah, akak rasa macam nak beli coke sejuk.
Ramzan: tulah rasanya takde, tapi kalau terjumpa saya bagitahu
Me: huhuu~
yelah walaupun hujan tapi sekejap jer, lepas tu dah panas gilos. air kat WS semua pon dah tak berapa nak chill jadi ala-ala dah tak lalu nak minum. rasanya after 22km, Ramzan inform yang Miss C dah decide nak naik ambulance.. alaaaa. Aunty Susee? Dia ok lagi, ada kat belakang..pheuwww.. lari lagi lari lagi after 23, Ramzan datang lagi.. Akak, Aunty Susee dah naik ambulance.. Kami: what????? Ada lagi ke yang lain kat belakang? Ramzan: Semua dah takde kak, akak berdua ni dah yang last ni.. Kami: abislah abislah *berpeluh-peluh* . Apparently semua orang yang kami potong, semua decide tak mahu habiskan larian ni huwarghhhh. km24, tiba-tiba selain skuter si Ramzan dah ada motor bomba, satu kat depan, satu kat belakang dan kadang-kadang sebelah kami. erkkk oklah, rasa selamat sikit hehe..
Irina n Aunty Susee |
Just after km24, rasa macam nampak kedai makan (eh ke kolam pancing ikan) kat tepi highway ni. Tiba-tiba;
Ramzan: eh tadi akak cakap nak air apa?Coke kan?
Me: a'ah Coke sejuk
Ramzan: saya rasa tu kedai, saya pergi check kejap. Akak nak apa? (tanya Irina)
Irina: kalau ada Ice Lemon Tea bottle yang sejuk pon ok
Me: nak duit tak?
Ramzan: Takpe kak saya pakai suit saya dulu.. akak lari jer nanti saya cari akak
Us: ok ok
dah budak tu suruh terus lari,xdelah kami nak tunggu, terus ajelah berlari. masa ni hatta nak lepas 1km pon dah jenuh. ada lah jugak power walk sikit sikit. asik tengok jam jer kenapa si Ramzan ni tak datang-datang lagi, dalam hari agak kecewalah jugak kalau takde, tapi kalau dah takde nak buat macam mana kan? near km 26 dengar bunyi skuter kat belakang. Oh yes, it's Ramzan! *hooray* (harap bawa berita gembira) - memang menggembirakan pon *lompat*
Ramzan: ni coke akak
Me: woahhhhhh, heaven! terima kasih.
Ramzan: Akak, ice lemon tea yang bottle takde, tin je ada
Irinachanak: oh ok ok apa-apa pon boleh
Me: so berapa ni? (sambil nak mengeluarkan duit yang sikit dari beg)
Ramzan: eh takpelah kak, saya belanja. janji akak berdua habiskan lari ni jer....
Us: auwwww so sweet *terharu*.. terima kasih banyak-banyak adik oiii (kes adik ni pon lawaks jugak, later)
ok terus minum sambil berlari. yes sambil berlari dengan tin coke heheehee. masa tengah berlari ni tetiba ternampak Fairul dengan basikalnya kat jalan sebelah. oh bestnya, dia baru habiskan HM terus naik basikal nak tgk semua FM runners yang still berjuang. dia ada offer banana, ohh tak mampulah kami nak makan.. lepas km28 dah nampak beberapa FM runners kat jalan sebelah.oh maksudnya ada u-turn... yes, u-turn. mind you saya tidak mengkaji route map sebelum race hatta tidak mengetahui ada u-turn segala bagai. Ada nampak sorang marshall, tanya dia jauh ke lagi nak u-turn? dia jawab tak jauh, kurang 1km jer. hurm 1km my ass!!!! jauh siot..u-turn dekat km30, macam nak pengsan nak ke sana wey!
Lepas u-turn, ntah tak tahulah mana datangnya tetiba ada lagi 1 ambulan kat depan, satu kancil kat tepi, 1 kereta polis kat belakang dan banyak lagi motor marshalls oh ada lagi ambulance kat belakang. oh my God!!!! kami telah di-Escort dengan jayanya.. perasaan kami?? buat masa ni kelu tak terkata.. so kalau dah ramai sangat yang follow, apa lagi lari tak berhentilah kami. For the first time in My full marathon history (sejarah FM Irinachanak tak sure) memang dari km24 dan lebih-lebih lagi lepas km 30 lari tak berhenti uolsss sampai garisan penamat. tak pernah umur lagi aku buat macam tu. that's definitely a world record. mana boleh jalan, malu siot, ramai menonton, reputation kena jaga jugak muahaahaahaahaaaha!!!!!
lepas km30, oh ada lagi sorang yang iring kami dengan rollerblade, Benny namanya. He's so nice. Sangat menjaga kami dan tak berhenti bagi semangat. Antaranya, "Ladies, you girls are doing great", "take your own time, we are gonna stay with you till the end", "you need more water?", "Are you ok?", "A lil bit more to go, keep on going"... and the best of all, "you girls are awesome, last year kami tunggu sampai pukul 4pagi and now it's not even 3am yet" awesome sangatlah kan? adoiii tergelak aku kat situ muahaaahaahaa.
Adoiii dengan marshal yang banyak ni, everytime mereka communicate via walkie talkie segala perkara kami boleh dengar. Well most of it adalah berkaitan progress kami, "Oh the last runners are 2 female', 'roger", "last runners approaching km 33", "Next water station be ready, arriving in 15 minutes" plus banyaklah lagi.. woahhhhh segala kami dengar ok, kalah VIP. Yang best lagi setiap kali kami melepasi water station, depa terus tutup WS itu (dah kata last kan haha) and all the volunteers akan pergi the next water station menunggu untuk memberi sorakan sokongan semangat kat kami. double sweet *auww auwww*
meriah kan? told ya! =) (credit: Sharafi) |
ini sikit je ni (credit: Sharafi) |
marshalls yg uber-kewl (credit:Sharafi) |
Finally we made it!!!!! so for my 4th FM i clocked in 7:03:00. 1 hour lebih baik from our previous FM. Dikalungkan medal, diberikan finisher tee dan dibukakan air dan makanan. ohh memang rasa macam anak raja you.. Eventho we didnt made it within qualifying time but hey kami habiskan ok. Obviously we need a serious training regime to improve our timing but untuk race ini we had lots of fun. Biarlah 7 jam pon kan? No regrets at all. And if you asked me if its worth it.? Hell yeah. Every minutes of it. Minus the certificate at least i have medal and finisher's tee that i can parade with for the whole month, kan Irinachanak?

Ramzan Coke |
In a nutshells, untuk PNM:
1. Night race - super tough!
2. Water station at every 3km is so damn good. Kalau ada chill water all the way lagi best.
3. Since takde kedai langsung sepanjang race course, i think the organiser shud provide more mobile toilet along the course, seksa kot nak tunggu setiap 10km
6. Putrajaya BANYAK BUKIT GILER!!!!! kalau nak join next year, pastikan otot anda bersedia dengan bukit-bukit ini ya!
Geng CAR yang awesome :) (cerdit: Sharafi) |
Lastly, i'm going to say thank you very much to my partner in crime, Irinachanak for running with me all the time. I dont think it's ever gonna be the same without you babe. To all running budies you know who you are, doomo arigato tunggu sampai habis, Ramzan: thank you for your support and Coke (total bliss ok), Benny, for accompanying us (jauh kot 12km), Marshalls dan semua yang bertugas, thank you, i know some of you terlepas dinner sebab tugas menjaga kami.thank you. thank you. Mr President and organizer, thank you for keeping your word untuk tidak meninggalkan pelari selow lari sorang-sorang, i'm so thankful for that. Semua orang sangat 'rawk' ok!!!!!!
Will i be doing PNM again, yes hurm maybe hurm it depends kalau takde event yang lebih menarik. FM? takkk kot ;p
till my next post, toodles!
cerita 5 keturunan pon tak habis lol (credit: Sharafi) |
