Sudah ada di Ipoh

Balik dari lari Genting terus balik Ipoh. Apa lagi, tido aa dalam keta ngan kat umah. Pastu petang lari kejap, konon nak test route la. Dada sakit, shin pun rasa sakit, ngan hujan lebat lagi. Maka aku dapat buat 3km je lah. Recovery jela kot..

Pagi ni aku rasa elok sikit. So dapat la buat 6km walaupun aku cadang nak buat 5km je.

Mileage so far 174km untuk bulan posa nih

Ramadhan Genting Run.

3rd run up to Genting for this Ramadhan. Crazy or what? Kudos to all crazyheads who still wanna do it. This time the run was organize by Julie (thanks girl). Many new faces, many first timer. Among the new faces was Hsing Ling, Roger, his dad, and Karoline’s dad (they are all related, how cool is that), Keat Seang, Adzim, Lin and Ngae.

This time also Ariff is cycling up while others run and walk. The running party consists of Dino, Julie,Adzim, Zac, Alex, Kar Yan, Kam, Yip, Stupe, Mac and some other people who I forgotten their name, need to check the name list. While the walking party was lead by May Sen followed by Adli, Upiq, Luvi, Lin and another guy who I don’t really know.

For this run Yip will be doing his usual 42km. Followed by me, Alex, Alex’s girlfriend, Kar Yan and later Zac also joins us.

Run starts at 10. No partner for me this week, running alone most of the time. Pacing my self, slow and steady as I want to save my leg for the extra 21km going down, the weather was cold that night. I think it is the coldest ever among the 3 run. It is so cold that I can’t go fast, too fast and I will shiver. And everytime the wind blows I have to stop as it is too cold for me to continue. This so far is the slowest run up to Genting for me.

As I reach the top, I was welcomed by the staff of First World Resort. This one we need to thanks Ngae as he called up some of his friend up in the Resort and arrange hot drinks for us runners. I rested while looking to borrow for a jacket. I don’t think I can survive running down without a jacket. Thanks to Jaja for lending me her jacket.

Running down was hard, use less energy though, but it is hard on my knees and ankle. Maybe my landing technique isn’t that good. I ran down in group, with Alex and the other, except for Yip who went down first.

I didn’t time myself running down, but I guess it’s around 2 hours plus, as we walk and stop for resting. At km 35, my ipod nano died, no battery edy. On my way down I received call from my brother asking where I am. They are about to leave for Ipoh. I think that is around 4 am already. After that I have to leave the group and run faster. Nevertheless, they catch up to me somewhere near the McDonald.

We manage to cam whore at McDonald though, poor Jaja and Luvis as they were waited for me (Jaja uses my car as support car). I think Alex and the rest of the group went to McDonald for a breakfast, while me speeding up to my house.

Mileage Puasa

Erm, setakat ni , berdasarkan Nike+ aku. Aku dah clock 121 km untuk Puasa nih..Tahun lepas pun tak sebanyak nih. Ramadhan tahun lepas dalam 60km lebih je. Alhamdulillah tahun ni dapat maintain distance, lagi lagi dengan join long night run. And banyak lari 10km gak.

Mari Lari naik Genting lagi

19 hb Sept. Lari lagi aku ke Genting. Macam minggu lepas gak, cuma kali ni di organize oleh Steve.

Meet up at 9, start run at 930. Itu yang aku dapat dari SMS Steve, itu gak yang diberitahu dalam e-mail. Tapi lari dalam kul 10 la jugak.

Tak seramai minggu lepas, tapi ada la muka muka minggu lepas, pastu ada muka muka baru. Aku tak kenal pun sangat kebanyakkannye, antara muka baru yang aku kenal dan tahu nama, Luvis, Fong, Zabrina/Sabrina (kawan Ishal), Zulhassan, Abu, Dino. Ada sorang mamat dari Hungary.

Lari kali agak lain sikit dari minggu lepas, takde sangat group, aku tak tahu sangat orang belakang apa citer. Omar Yip ngan orang Hungary dah laju ke depan, Zulhassan ngan Abu pun dah laju ke depan. Aku pace dengan Fong. Julie dengan Dino aku rasa.

Udara agak sejuk minggu ni, at some point, aku sakit dada sebab sejuk sangat, berapa kali batuk daa..and minggu ni aku pakai reflective jaket, mekasih Julie sebab belikan jaket tuh, nanti aku bayo balik ye (untuk sesape nak beli, kat kedai hardware ada jual, 6 ringgit je).

Lari all the way sampai Gohtong Jaya. Berenti kat 7 eleven beli 100 plus, pastu beli air mineral ekstra, then lari balik ke atas sampai ke Starbucks First World Hotel. On the way nak sampai atas nampak Adzim ngan Lin, jadi fotographer of the night..

2hours 34 min. Itu yang aku tengok kat jam aku aa. Sampai sampai aku dah nampak Azmar lepak kat Starbucks, sebab aku cuak gak, takde runner sampai, atau aku yang tak nampak. Takut diorang meet up kat tempat lain yang aku tak tahu.Yip dah turun la dah masa tu..

Sejuk giller kat atas tuh, walaupun dah tukar sweater and all. Tapi best. Harap harap ada next run. Last kopek sebelum Raya. Kesian kat Zulhassan sebab sesat sampai ke Highland Hotel/Resort, atas tu pun ada Starbucks..

Congrats to all participants..Thanks to all support car driver..

Fresh from the oven - Genting Run

9 pm - Arrive to Genting Sempah, met with Ariff and May Sen, then drive up to One World Hotel.

10.30pm - Start running as I reach McD Genting Sempah around 10.17pm.Can see few people start running edy. Thanks to Julie, she manage to find somebody to drive the Unser up as support car.

- Pace with Julie, safe to say she is my running partner for this run. Keep / maintain our pace to save our leg for any unsuspected climb. Run for the first 10km (until GohTong Jaya) with no problem. Then another 10km. Which we assume the run is like 21km.

-Yip was waayy ahead, which we can see him at the Starbucks. Yusran was running steadily. Manage to catch up with the first starter. The one that walk first. Stupe was wearing like full gear for Adv Racing (gilalah).

-This run is like a one hell of a race event. With support cars at every corner (almost). One guy even pass us water while we are running.

-Manage to arrive to Startbucks at 2hrs 45min. 23km.

-0400 - Sampai rumah
