Lambat and 10km

Woke up late today, 650. My plan today was cycling to Tasek Perdana and do a 21km. But then, at 0430 it was raining hard. And I accidentally deactivate the alarm. Next thing I knew was my mom woke me up for Subuh. DAMN.

First person I tried to call was Abu, then Fairoz, luckily he bring the phone while running. They were halfway thru Double Hill. Gila la aku lambat.

Reach there about 8. Then I saw Upiq running back to his car. Chatted with him and Shilpa for a while, and also with Uncle Wan. Then I off for a 10km, see whether I could catch up to Abu and the gang.

Planning to clock around 10km. Did a double hill but at the last part, I didnt go thru Istana, instead I went back to Parliament Road and straight to Tanglin. Ok la, clock around 10.34km.

Then I learn that they did a 20km with CK. Then have a breakfast at Tanglin, later then AJ and Abang Bangsar join us.

BT 18 - Klawang

Sampai carpark BT 18 agak lambat. 15 minit lambat. Semua dah ada kat situ. Mak aih, ramai la pulak. CK kasik tahu aku ada la jugak dalam 17 orang. Gila best. Antara yang ada

1.Laif
2.Dicky
3.Azmar
4.Syaaban
5.T.Zafrul
6.D.Bernard C
7.AJ
8.CK
9.Kharis
10.SK
11.Jaja
12.Upiq
11.Jason
12. Kawan Jason (aku lupa nama daa)
13.Aku
14. Abg Bangsar(lupa nama gak, haha)
15. Abu
16. Saiful
17. Fairoz

Jalan macam biasa,
dari titi ke simpang tekala/perez (10km)
dari simpang ke puncak perez (8km)
dari puncak ke TITI (14km)
dari TITI ke K.Klawang (20km)

Jalan macam biasa, tapi tayar aku pancit dua kali masa naik Perez, turns out, aku nye rim tape, tak diletak bebetul, dah kali kedua tu baru aku letak duit seringgit dalam tu, so ok lah. Takde pancit lagi.

Aku dibantu oleh kawan Jason, yang mana second time tayar aku pancit, dia terjatuh masa nak un-clip kasut dia. Isk, kesian lak aku. Menyusah kan mamat tuh. Dah tu, tiub aku tak cukup panjang, selamat dia sudi menukar tiub ngan aku. Thanks man. Tak pasal menyusahkan anak orang. Pikir nak balik sebab pikir akan bocor lagi.

Erm, susah betul nak habis kan Klawang nih. First time buat, takde tenaga sebabkan ceret beret. Second time tayar pecah. Sekarang problem ni lak (Leong, aku suruh tukar rim tape, taknak, kan aku dah susah nih). So aku nekad, nak buat gak kalau tayar aku pancit balik, aku mintakkan kawan Jason tu pegi kat team and sesapa tolong la pickup aku. Jalan dulu...

Aku ngan dia panjat sampai ke puncak, tapi dah takde sape kat situ. Pamkan tayar, sebab pressure rasa macam kurang. Pastu teruskan jugak. Terus turun sampai TITI, lepas tu maintain 35-37 ngan kawan tu, semata mata nak kejar orang lain, tapi tak nampak gak. Assume diorang sumer kat Petronas K.Klawang. Tapi dah sampai situ baru tahu diorang ada kat kedai makan dekat Balai Bomba. - Stop and Makan-

Alhamdulillah, naik balik ke Perez lebih bertenaga dari dulu. Takde sign nak bonk ke ape. Berenti sebab tayar AJ pancit, then lagi satu sebab kat mana ntah ramai ramai nak mandi.

Sambung macam biasa sampai ke Carpark. Nice ride and panas.

Gila respek kat DBC, Upiq, T.Zafrul sebab buat benda gila ni first time and habis.

Thank you kat sumer yang lain, kalau ride sorang mental wuu. Ride reramai make it look easy.

Hey YOU!! Let's run to office will you.

It was Wednesday when the idea (running to office) popped into my head. Just like a big BLING!!. Been cycling for 2 weeks(off and on). Distance from home to office is 22km, doable. Consider as LSD (Long Slow Distance) run training.

Collected the Garmin Forerunner 305 from Adzim (Adzim, I owe you man) on Thursday night.

Woke up at 345. Start running at 430.

Road is clear and it is cool. Questioning my insanity on the first km. But as I got into rhythm, I don't care less other then reaching the office within 2hrs 30 min. Running with backpack is not comfortable as I thought, but then after a while got used to it.

Stop at first 5km to buy 100 plus, and 2 drinking water. (Bukit Setiawangsa)
(10)Second 5km stop at Esso Keramat because I'm hungry, buy a snickers and drink.Eat a quarter of Snicker
(15)Third 5km at Kg Baru. Just realize that I over drink the water (Habis sudah satu botol) and I'm still thirsty.
(20)4th 5km, I'm somewhere on Sprint Highway, just past the Bangsar junction, and I'm headed to Seksyen 16 PJ. Did stop at Shell somewhere in Damansara, right after Jalan Semantan. Bought a 100 plus.

Arrived at office around 7.10. It's a 2hrs 45m run, plus stop to buy drinks, crossing, check the bag.

Felt sleepy most of the day. Tired and all.
Route will post later. Need help from Azim to upload the data.
Will I do it again? HELL YEAH.

Accidentally clocked a 90km++

The day start at 0430 with a ride to Shell near to Bkt Antarabangsa. Shazly pick me up and we went to Damansara Height waiting for T.Zafrul. And then we start riding when then D. Bernard join us. We did some rounds and then after that I went to my office as usual.

Then later in the evening, join the Tuesday PCC group ride. Then as usual, ride back home.

Arrived at home around 12. And I was surprised to see that I clocked 90km.

Either my meter busted, or is it for real. Anyhow I'm damn tired. Wont be cycling on Wednesday

Cycling to work

There's piece in the Sunday Times. About Bike Boutique, and Ariff who ride to work. (Click the picture to make it bigger)

There's also Azmar(cycle from Semenyih to Jalan Ampang) and Shazly(cycled from Bukit Antarabangsa to Damansara Heights). And I think why not me. It's not that far, can be consider as training also, and know what! Can come early to office and save some money on petrol. YAY.

Today is my second day cycling from home to office, which is about 20km+. Start off at 530am arrive at office around 605, then quickly take a short bath. Ok la I guess.

My first day of cycling to work is on Wednesday. That day I start off at 5 and reach the office around 550. But at that day also, I cycled to Bike Boutique after work to meet up with Ariff and did a 4km run, and a swim (plus Daniel and some guy). Did a free lesson with those guys. Thanks, very much appreciate it. Then cycled back to home. Arrived somewhere around 11. Damn sleepy that time.

Return trip is around 40-50km. No problem in going to office, main problem is the home trip. A lot of cars. Haih

Ordinary typical week

Target this week is to run as many as possible. But then mr. diarrhea and mrs. rain came along, making this week is not so productive. Manage to do 3 runs so far, 1 swimming. Selamat wa cuti itu Isnin.

Monday did a painful 11.99km in 1h30mins. Talk about slow. Lost of energy again, that's what happen when you sleep the whole day and suddenly decide to run. But then, weird thing is before this, when I work in shifts I always do this kind of thing. Heck I even run 8km twice per day. Ouh I miss the old days.

Wednesday 10.56 in 1hour 6 mins. And today (Friday) 11.23 in 1hour 12min.

Thursday night, swimming at Bukit Jalil with Azmar. Did a 700m I guess. REALLY need to brush up on my technique.

This week did a leg raise as shown in PM1 blog. 15x3 every morning. And I do feel great at my abs. Tight and stable.

True or Not?

Government always compare our oil prices with non-oil producing countries such as : For example Singapore : RM 5.00 Thailand : RM 4.00 how about compare Malaysia with the other oil producing countries just as we are UAE– RM1.19/litre Eygpt– RM1.03/litre Bahrain– RM0.87/litre Qatar– RM0.68/litre Kuwait– RM0.67/litre Saudi Arabia– RM0.38/litre Iran– RM0.35/litre Nigeria– RM0.32/litre Turkmenistan– RM0.25/litre Venezuela– RM0.16/litre MALAYSIA– RM2.70/litre

22km run and a wedding

Start run at 6 something, with Fairos, Abu and Abg Md Noor. I'm supposed to start at 5, but then there's Ebay to blame.Bidding at things. It's been a while since I did a 20km run here in Lake Garden. Everything went well, cold weather. No ceret beret. The route was L.Garden - Hartamas - Double Hill. Met AJ on somewhere after Petronas Hartamas. Oh yeah, at that point of time I was running alone. Upiq planned to run until some overhead bridge right before Plaza Damas. I don't know where is Fairos, Abd Md Noor and Abu, if I'm not mistaken they're gonna do double hill today.

Since it's been awhile after I last ran at this route, I drink my self 2 can of gatorade. And buy my self a 500ml mineral water for the journey. Sip by sip the mineral water finish halfway during double hill. Which is ok I guess. Somewhere at the palace before Tugu Negara I felt week, and so I eat my small bar of Cloud 9. And surprisingly it helps. Yay.

Buy myself another can of 100 plus at some shop in Tugu Negara. Right when entering Lake Garden I saw AJ went off in his car. Wave at him while wondering how in the world that this guy came here first. Saw Upiq, and he told me that AJ arrived Lake Garden 10 minutes before me.

Joined Abu, Fairos, Abg Md Noor at Tangling Food Court for a Drink. Then took a bath at the public bath house in Lake Garden. After that straight to Shah Alam, picking up friend of mine - Hazwan. Then straight to Sungai Besar, which I believe is a place right before Sabak Bernam.
