Alternate lunch

Ever wonder that you want to do something else then eat or sleep during lunch? Ever think that you want to do something new?Something different? Thats what happen to me, to be thinking with Ironman is near, Jerai Eco X, and with my swimming form that need to be corrected. I concluded that I need to do something during lunch time. Hence, swim, run or trail run during lunch time.

Since I join Bukhari's class in Shah Alam, I have been swimming at Damansara Perdana, it has been going on for two weeks something I guess, then an idea pop up into mind, "
Why not running as well?"
So I started running at TTDI, while running I saw the MTB trail, another idea pop up into mind, "Why not I trail run?"
Yesterday I did a trail run, it was too short as the trail is being block by a huge tree.So it was short. So today I did a 5km on the park, and 2km on the trail. Tiring..And today is super hot.

Selamat Hari Raya

To all my friends,Selamat Hari Raya Hajj.

Singapore Marathon 08

Singapore Marathon - Full 42km - 4hours 42min. A slow and steady run. No cramps tho, manage to sprint weakly on the last 1km.

Nice route, flat all the way. Organizers was great. Good supporters/volunteers. A lot of water and the banana was big. A lot of runners..

A lot of tense caused by this race, to me of course.
Can I do it?
Will I cramp at km 25?
Is my training enough?
Is my nutrition enough?
Can my body stand it?
But then, it is all come in to one answer. "I don't know, that is why I need to run this race, because I want to know"

Peed few times during the race, it's ok to over hydrate, it's not ok to dehydrate. Manage to keep my pace, and uh, note to self, do know about your shoe better, as I used a Saucony A2 Fastwitch, which I later learn that it is not suitable in running more than half marathon.

33km today

Ran 33km this morning. Burn 2294 cal. Weight this morning is 69kg. Time 3hour 40 min, including berak stop, pee stop, buying waters.

Money is less spent on food. RM 15 to be exact. As oppose to last time RM20. Less stop also, as time spent on stop.

-Start running at 330 something as i waited for the rain to stop.
-Run at a slow and steady pace.
-Reach the first 10km stop (Esso Damai) at 1hour 4mins.
-Stop for berak at Shell Jalan Tun Razak
-Stop at 7 Eleven Jalan Semarak for Gatorade and Plain water
-Another stop at KM 30, Petronas near my house. Just for a light coke.

Run is ok. No cramp so far. The problem is berak. Should eat early..

Gear for today
Shoe : Saucony Grid A2
Socks : Injinji Toe Socks

No blister for this mileage, no cramps, and the sweats wick out easily

HRM back again

Yesterday went to FJ Benjamin in Menara Pan Global to send in my old Nike Triax C6. I haven't fully used this watch for some while now since it can't detect the HRM. Turns out that the HRM is not functional, forcing me to get a new HRM strap, which cost me RM 135. At least i dont need to buy a Polar, or new HRM.

Today ran 11km in 1hour 9mins (1hour 8min 56sec), just for the sake of testing the HRM. I burnt around 754 cal. And I recalibrate the Nike+ Ipod also, it's been a while since i recalibrate me weight into it. The reading there is around 796cal.

Weight is still at 70kg

HOA - ULU YAM - GOHTONG - HOA

Just finish ride with some new found gang through the BBS. 15 rider altogether. Few old but strong man, all are 60 years and above, and they whack the hills like nobody business.

Started from HOA at 745, I rode from home to the starting location, save fuel, and burn more calories. On flat they maintain speed around 28 to 30kmh. Met Achap at Kompleks Sukan Siantan. Then we regroup again at Petronas somewhere in front there.

First climb is at the Ulu Yam or some people might call it Sg. Tua. At some early point the ride was lead by one Le2a cyclist or I assume he is , Arif is his name, correct me if I were mistaken. Then after that lead by Abg Rahim and Abg Bahri Bangsar until the top.

Regroup at the top then sped off to Ulu Yam Baru to refill water. After that, 20km climb to Gohtong. Simply torturous, the route is basically going up all the way with adding gradient, I stop few times as I need some serious rest.

Regroup again at Nasi Kandar Genting. After that, all way downhill to HOA. I rode some extra mile, accompany Achap to his car at the Kompleks Sukan Siantan.

Total mileage, 113km.
