Gelang merah ironman

Ape jadah la LIEM nih, pi bagi gelang merah macam masuk funfair (bak kata kawan aku lah). Itu gelang guna untuk tahu sama ada kite ni participant ke idak. Untuk masuk ke carbo loading dinner, pastu untuk masuk race, pastu untuk award dinner. Cikai betul diorang nih, bagi la gelang lawa sikit ke, ape la guna bayar memahal. Adusss...pening..

Langkawi I nearly missed

I'm already at the hotel when I wrote this. Istana Kondo to be exact. Registration went well, (medical check up, collect timing chip and goodies bag). I will go for cycling with the rest of the gang after this (Puzi, Dino, Kam and Azmar).

Well, what do you know, I'm in Langkawi, despite nearly missed the flight today (Close call).

Bike packing have been done at Taman Melawati, some bike shop that sells mostly mountain bike, can't remember the shop name. Charge me RM40, fair enough. TBB would charge me RM60 for the bike packing. Went panic for a while thinking the shop won't open for the day as I waited for a while, but then Bandit told me that it is normal the shop would open at 1000.

After the bike packing, I went straight to Plaza Sentral, thanks to Aini for the car pass, I manage to park at the basement, from today up until Sunday. Run up to KL sentral to take the bus to LCCT (practically run while carrying the bag bike), lenguh tangan seyh!!

The flight was scheduled at 1405, but then its 1315 and I'm just passing Sepang F1 circuit. Earlier I was told that Azmar and Kam have missed their flight even though they arrived like 25 min earlier. I am totally fucked, few minutes late and I have to buy another ticket to Langkawi.

Mac was worried and kept calling me, which makes me more nervous. DAMN. 1318, the bas parked, I quickly ran (again with the bike ) to the balai berlepas, and thank God, I still made it for the flight. During the walk to the airplane I realise that I left Bandit's meter at the security check point. So I ran back to the airport, and guess what, not only I left the meter, but I also left my Ipod, and my carkeys, kalut betul eh.

Boarded the airplane, and now I'm in this condo, prepping up the bike to test the bike setup.

Haih, cemana la agaknye Ironman aku ni eh

Langkawi here I come

Flight is like few hours away, it's like 1 am and I haven't pack my bike. Susah laaa..and I thought it was easy, jimat duit la sangat..cheh..

I can't focus anything at work, it have been like that since Monday, the only thing that is been going on my mind right now is getting pass Ironman, seriously IM is like my D-day (doomsday), maybe I'm a bit exaggerating, but yeah, I have been training a lot for that day (even though it's not by the book), and I really hate to lose (as in DNF or DQ) on that day. I am still in doubt of my swimming.

Well, I want to go to sleep, morning comes, I will go for my last lite run, then off to the bike shop to pack the bike, and then Langkawi..here I come..yeah

Ironman is 6 days away..I am so Fckd

Few days to go for Ironman and it's pretty hectic to me.I'm working only on Monday and Tuesday this week, and on Wednesday I will go off to Langkawi. Let see, bike not yet pack, racing gears also haven't pack. Perghhh, and Wednesday is like what? 2 days away??? Ironman is 6 days away, what the f***!!!!

B.O.N.K.D

broga loop..again.i think this is the second time. thought that many people would join up today, but it is still me and fong. i started off from bt 14, while fong started from her house in sri petaling. started at 0730. maintain speed at 25kmh - 30kmh, slow stroll only. everything was going fine until i reach petronas kuala klawang, even after eating powerbar and some buns, my body seems to be very tired. am not sure how to describe it. i started yawning, muscle ache, can't push the speed. suddenly it felt the stretch was very faaaarrr, and im going sloooowww. it takes forever for me to reach titi. wtf!!climb up bukit hantu, i can feel cramp attack at my tricep,(yes..tricep!!) and my right rectus femoris.painful, even i try to spin, i still can feel the cramp attack..aarghhh, what the hell happened to my body today.i dont know how long did fong waited for me at the perez, sorry wei. while resting at the top, the only thing that i can think of is a bottle of coke and an icecream.ffuhhh..so i cycled down fast to kg lui, go to the nearest shop and bought it. legaa..sodapp..sojukk..then i continue to cycle slowly, alone, to my car at bt14. the sweats was abnormal, it lookd different. i know this sign, either my body is damn tired today, or an early sign of body shutdown..and yeah, the night before i only slept like 4 hours..note to everybody, kalau tido tak cukup, jangan mengada nak ride jejauh, nanti kena macam aku, padan muka..bink out

A shoe it is

6 pairs of shoes I have. All are worn out, can be use for short distance training, but for a proper full marathon race? I doubt it. Last time I used the Saucony A2 Fastswitch at Singapore Marathon, I felt like thumping on the tarmac, no cushioning left. Thank God the knee still ok.

Bought another Saucony, this time its the Fastswitch 3 (note to self, this shoe is for racing, not for training). Got it from Choi, where else you can get a cheap Saucony product. And some more he is a runner, so he knows what people need. The colour is like one of those stealthy stuff, black and green. Macam kasut jalan jalan seyh.

Met Choi to collect the shoe. Run a few metre with the shoe. Damn light. Thanks Choi

befday besday birthday

Nandos Midvalley, 1pm. Mac, Kash, Aini, Fatini, AJ and me. The occasion? Celebrating Aini's birthday or hangout at Nandos during lunch. Kash was too kind to bring in presents for the guest of honor. AJ turns up at the very last minute. I thought that he wouldn't able to make it, because of his hectic schedule and all.
