Ironman Langkawi 08 - Tengok je.haha

Jumaat 22/2/08.
Ramai orang ingat aku pergi IM sebab join sekali. Dah berapa kali aku cakap aku tengok je, tapi ramai lak yang keliru. Gila ape nak join. Ready pun idak lagi. Mintak cuti hari tu sebab aku tak nak la last last minit kang kat opis tu, ada je benda nak jadi. Walaupun flight malam, tapi tak nak la apa apa terjadi. Tunggu adik aku balik keje. And cabut from Lembah Keramat to KLsentral to LCCT.

Flight pukul 9 lebih sampai Langkawi dalam pukul 10.30 gitu

Ironman 08 - Langkawi - It is so darn Good!!

Ku bukan mengikut apa yang orang lain buat. Ku bukan nak membuktikan yang ku boleh buat, mahupun berlagak dengan "title". Aku hanya mendengar kata hatiku. Aku nak jadi Ironman. Slowly, but surely.

LTDL final stage

Pagi tido dalam 3 jam, 6 lebih ke 10 lebih. Then jumpa client untuk tunjuk flash project. Ended up at 230 something. My breakfast today is Espresso blended ngan Java chip cream something kat starbuck klcc. Siap pun keje, otak pun lega sikit. Lepas hantar the client to Pudu, rush ke Dataran Merdeka untuk tengok LTDL final stage, sampai sampai pun dah lap 7 kat KL (they have to do 11 laps in KL). Jumpa Chief Kutu, Jaja, Jamil, Awea ngan Letua gang.

Tak pasti sapa menang nombo satu. Tahu tahu jersey hijau. Lepas habis, pegi belakang bangunan mahkamah tengok beskal, best. Macam pameran kete yang selalu buat kat PWTC, only this is far more better. Gambar nanti ku upload.

Lapar huu~~..Ajak member gi Ikea, well..dia pun nak beli lampu, and I'm freaking hungry, dapatla makan Chicken Leg apentah kat Ikea nye foodcourt tu. Sedap weih..siap mintak ubi lebih tuu.

Balik dari hantar kawan tu, tayar keta ku pancit kat MRR2, nice huh..

Lega kepala otak

Huu, dah seminggu tak jog, dah seminggu tak cycling. Swimming jangan cakaplah. Akhirnye projek flash budak upsi siap gak tadi. Baru jap tadi gi opis amik laptop, on the way balik, aku rasa dalam 0530 camtu nampak kelibat runners melintas jalan duta. How i miss that route, last sekali aku lari kat situ masa ge 30k lah.

Karang nak jumpa budak upsi, pastu balik tido. Harap harap petang boleh la jogging. Badan dah lemah, aku rasa berat badan pun dah naik. Seluar jeans ni dah ketat.waaaaa

Shoe Review Day 3

Well, I did a 14km today and 8km yesterday using that shoe. Nothing else to add though, except that I didn't feel anymore pain to my shin and knee.

What I realize is that in the last stretch I still able to lift up my feet (as the shoe is light) and run fast. Before this on the last stretch I do feel heavy.

So far, it has been good, since Krishnan did tell me that this shoe provide me minimal cushioning or none at all. No pain. The grip is there, I can feel it, especially when i do uphill. I just need to test it in a long run, 20km and above. Since I have serious problem with sweating, especially my foot, sure will got blister after 20km run.

And the shoe doesn't smell as bad as my previous shoe. Yeah, I do smell my shoe.

Overall still good

Lagu best lagi teransang. Hoho

Lagu ni selalu aku mainkan dalam ipod aku, lirik bermakna giller. Enjoy. Lagu ni ada dalam soundtrack vgame Fifa baru. Ku bold kan lirik yang bagi ku bermakna, bila dengar lagu ni macam semangat lak nak buat sesuatu

ALI IN THE JUNGLE - THE HOURS

It's, not, how you start, it's how you finish,
And it's, not, where you're from, it's where you're at,

Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna' get up?
How quick are you gonna' get up?
Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna' get up?
Just how are you gonna' get up?

Like Ali in the jungle,
Like Nelson in jail,
Like Simpson on the mountain,
With odds like that, they were bound to fail
Like Hannah in the darkness,
Like Adam's in the dark,
Like Ludwig Van, how I loved that man, well the guy went deaf and didn't give a fuck, no...

No, no, no

It's, not, where you are, It's where you're going,
Where are you going?
And it's, not, about the things you've done, it's what you're doing, now,
What are you doing, now?

Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna' get up?
How quick are you gonna' get up, now?
Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna' get up?
Just how are you gonna' get up?

Like Ali in the jungle,
Like Nelson in jail,

Well with odds like that, they were bound to fail
Like Hannah in the darkness,

Oooh, ooh, ooh
No, no, no
Oooh, ooh, ooh
No, no, no
Oooh, ooh, ooh

It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus,
The greatest comeback since Lazarus,
It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus,

The greatest comeback...
It's the greatest comeback...

(Radio Commentator) This, is the most joyous scene, ever seen in the history of boxing, this is an incredible scene, the place is going wild, Muhammed Ali has won, Muhammed Ali has won, by a knockdown! By a knockdown! The thing they said was impossible, he's done!

Why is it Sunday..aarghhh...

It's Sunday and it's 11 something PM. Tomorrow is work day. After cycling on Thursday, I didn't even join the cycling session on Saturday as my knee is still hurting (manja huh). Even today also no mood to do long run in the morning. Sleep lah.

Got some problem with my Nike Ipod though, the data is upload to a different profile. Then I realize that itunes 7.6 might have some problem, so then I change to itunes 7.3 and now it is working perfectly but i lose a 3 days worth of data. Nevermind la I guess

Still unpacking, do some necessary thing to the house. Manage to do a 8km run yesterday and 14km today. Ok la I guess, better then do nothing.

Still serabut about 2 flash project I need to finish by this week. Haih.

Malas nye nak kije.

Ride seksa macam sial

aaaa...tak tahu apa nak dikata. 11 jam ride. 195km, ada yang clock 191km, tapi aku nye meter clock 195, ku rasa itu campur berenti kot..

Start dari HOA kul 730, tembus Bentong straight ke Fraser (Gap), terus ke Kuala Kubu Baru (baru aku tahu Kuala Kubu Baru tu Selangor, hehe). Masuk ikut Ulu Yam, tembus balik ke Gombak then ke HOA balik. Sampai 6 lebih dah pun. Gila banyak hill, gila letih, duit bawak tak cukup. Siap pinjam duit Azwar.

Letih sebab banyak bukit, panas and tak cukup air and banyak bukit, hehe. Hills kat HOA ke Genting Sempah, Bentong ke Fraser (of course la), KKB ke Ulu Yam (sakit uuu hill sini, cibai), ada sikit hill kat tasek empangan tuh.

Overall aku boleh survive. Tapi lepas Petronas KKB, aku dah letih betul. Lutu taupun muscle sekitar lutut kanan aku dah terasa sakit, naik hills susah, tu lah, guna lagi crank besar lelama. Siap kena sound ngan Adrian lagi..hehe.

Tu bila dah sampai hills kat Ulu Yam, memang turun naik beskal, letih beb. Ada part aku jalan, pastu sambung cycling balik. Aduh mak aih, endless hill tu. Pastu dah turun tu kat empangan bawah tu boleh lak ada lagi satu. Yang best, cleat aku problem, habis kaki kiri tak boleh nak cabut dari pedal. Dua skru hilang menyebabkan tak boleh nak release cleat tuh. And then kesian kat Bacin ngan lain menunggu aku.

Elok aku dah lepas hill tu, kat Pekan BT Cave, nampak si Arif ngan Anuar betulkan tayar pancit. By the way Anuar pancit 4 kali, Dicky pancit 1 kali.

Pastu cycling nye cyling, Anuar pancit lagi, itu aku tak pasti kali ke berapa dah. Keliru aku kali ke 4 kot.

Azmar sakit lutut and berenti kat KKB, selamat Mac ada mentolong beliau, hantar balik HOA. Aku dengar Azwar pun bonk gak, Mac gak tolong. Mac, kenapa ko tak tolong aku, haha, aku pun tak de nombo ko. Aku pun nyawa nyawa ikan gak hari nih.

Malam tibai dua pizza, dominos regular.

Aku jugak tangkap gambar sendiri

Shoe test drive, day 2

Distance = 6.55km
Route = Lembah Keramat - Halfway Setiawangsa

This run, is not so pleasant. Knee pain, Shin Pain, Hip Pain. Don't really know is it because of the shoe or me. Run more on uneven ground, not so stable. Always tend to fall. Use a different socks. Will try again later

Shoe Test - Dapat lari kat rumah baru uuuu

Distance = 14.32 km
Route = Lembah Keramat - Setiawangsa - Lembah Keramat

Start at 630 in the morning. The shoe is light. That is my first impression. Further down the road, I can feel the bounciness. I'm a flat runner, not a forerunner. But then when I start to run forefoot, I can feel the increase in speed and the bounciness. (boing boing).

It was nice on flat land or specifically tarmac, but on uneven ground.To me, its not that stable. But since Mr. Krishnan said that there's no cushioning in this shoe, maybe that's why.

Overall, the shoe is fine. For now. I do wear a not that suitable socks on this run. Will run again with different shoe. See what is the result
