Hmm this time decided to participate in the team relay event. Not because of the bad experience last time in KL, but my frens wanted to take part as well and they asked me to join their team. Originally my teammates were supposed to be One Polar and Budin, then One Polar went missing in action at the last minute. Got panicked for a while, decided to backed out of the race (takde mood dah)..at least have the decency to inform us if you don't want to participate.. tak professional langsung, then just so happened Nowa's team were also having some problems (1 person met with an accident, the other had to work on the weekend -or so he said). Thanks to Nowa for replacing my 'missing without telling' teammate.. Dapat jugak aku masuk race ni.
training kali ni pon ala kadar je. Dunno why, not as excited as last time, probably because we just got back from G.Benom 2 weeks b4 race - nak recover la kengkononnya.. then the week before Benom I climbed G.Yong Belar plak.. naik lemak masing2 malas training. Only trained for a few days. I needed my rest anyway coz of the back to back hiking trips. Rest is also important coz I can't push myself without enough rest.
Training :
Saturday :
night : jogged for 3 laps with botak (4km each lap). total 12 km. timing per lap : 24minutes. So my average is 6 minutes/km. Padil and Baby cycled for dunno how many rounds. Baby still entering individual event so she had to train more (running and cycling).
Sunday: went for the anti-dadah run : 7km with baby. Finished 20th (dapat medal). Baby finished 21st position. Apparently medals are only up to 20th place. Too bad for baby. Actually she was in front of me the whole time until the last corner I sped up and overtook her. Kesian baby. Tak sangka plak I was the 20th person, ingatkan dah nombor berapa puluh.
Tuesday : jogging at bukit ucop - the route was uphill all the way.
Wednesday : I couldn't remember whether I jogged or not this day. heh. blur.
Thursday : Last training day. Jogged for 6km. Still average 6 minutes per km. Tak sempat nak improve dah.
Friday: 13th may (oo friday the 13th.. )
Finished work at 11pm then went straight home to tmn melawati. This was when Budin called and informed me that One Polar went missing. Went panicky for a while.. then Nowa came to mind. Called him up but no answer.. Aiyaa drop mental dah.. Suddenly he called back.. and I explained the whole situation and he agreed to be a replacement.. yahoo! problem solved. Balik umah tido.
Saturday : (14th may)
Nowa had to work, so did Botak. So my mom and I headed to Lumut at noon. The other 2 cars (padil,mazni and eppott) went in eppott's car and Adik,Kak Ina and Budin went in Adik's car. They all had already left in the morning. On the way, saw a few cars with bikes on the roof.. Hmm canggih2 punya roadbike. Reached Lumut at almost 4 and checked in at the Orient Star hotel. The hotel was crowded and surrounded by Malakoff participants. I didn't even realize that hotel was the official Malakoff hotel. Patut la parking full. Cehh. Met up with the rest of the gang at the hotel. Botak,baby,baby's cousins,nowa and chaq would be arriving late in the evening.
Registered, picked up race kits, went for briefing (we missed the hi-tea).. then everybody went to their own rooms to get cleaned up. Met again at about 8++ to have dinner. Thanks to Isekb and boss for buying us dinner at a seafood restaurant (dunno the name). Went back to the hotel, those involved in cycling did some last minute checking with their bikes and put all the stickers and stuff. Tido time.
Sunday: (15th may)
6.00am - alamak ujan, sedap tido ni.. hehe  , I'm gonna be the 3rd runner anyway.. wats the point of going there so early - alasan nak tido.. mazni woke me up, actually padil woke her up then she woke me up.. ok la ok la bangun la.. took a shower and got ready then walked for about 1km to the starting area. Halfway walking I heard a gunshot. alamak first event- individual long distance runners dah lari.. walked a bit more quickly so I could be there before Nowa and Botak lari. Just in time. They were already on the starting line. Wished them luck and off they go. Next - individual sprint event. Baby and Adek along with Kak faizah and her lil sister. Seronok tgk dorang getting pumped up to run. wo0 hoo! gunshot! lari.. lari.. adek terjatuh.. ouch! bangun balik sambung lari.. I admire the woman for her courage to get up and run. dah la luka kat perut pasal jatuh. Cayalah adik!
Botak sampai, Nowa a few minutes later. pangok budak ni sket.. sian dia aku paksa masuk.. hehe takpe nowa.. janji complete. Padil and Budin cycled 60km.. 3 laps.. luckily flat road. tapi flat tu yg sakit tu, tak leh ngelat.. kene kayuh jek.. ahaha takpe dorang power..
padil and budin masuk 3rd lap, Eppott and I warmed up for the last 8km run. I looked at the transition area, a few more people in the mixed relay team.. hmm tak last kot.. ok la tu.. padil came in and eppott took the timing chip and number and ran. I got anxious.. mane budin ni.. seb baik gap tak jauh sangat.. in a few minutes my teammate arrived and I ran for my life. My timing : 47 minutes for 8 km. Averaged about 6 minutes per km just like during training. epot's timing was 45 minutes. 2 minutes ahead of me. Personally I was quite satisfied with my own timing coz training pon ala kadar je.
Overall my team achieved 11th place out of 13. Ok la. Dengan macam2 problem - roadbike tak dapat, missing teammate, last minute replacement, lack of training - I think we did OK. Eppott's team got 9th place. Baby and Adek got 9th and 16th place respectively in their category. Baby really improved a lot. She trained everyday - morning jogged with me, evening - cycled with padil. Mmg deserved to be top 10. Adek plak if not for the jatuh incident, she probably would have done better.
Congrats frens and all participants of malakoff lumut. see ya in JB for the 3rd series - hopefully.
Still contemplating - nk masuk individual sprint or mixed relay?? hmm although only my second time participating in Malakoff events, dah jadik syok plak rase.
more photos to come..

dah lebih 8 bulan tak climb, sume tangan pam.
aku,mazni,padil,botak,epot climb join skali ngn geng2 zarin. mazni tak climb , sebok amik gambar kucing ngn digital SLR padil.. ngn gambar2 kitorang skali.
Botak sorang je sampai atas. Tu pon atas yg first part. 2nd part yg ade overhang sket tu dia tak larat dah. tangan pam. Aku, Padil,Epot mmg tak sampai atas terus - halfway beh kurang panel 4/5 camtu laa..padil pon tangan pam nak² dia jadik belayer kitorang.. penat belay dah tu. epot lak try 2 kali, seken time tu dia
dapat naik tinggi gak, maybe 6th panel.. pergh..
zarin punya geng pon takde yg sampai atas. difficulty punya wall ni mmg tough gak bagi aku la.. kene byk skill. cam aku yg tak de skill ni mmg leceh sket a, tangan pon tak kuat. Speed climbing punya route senang sket, flat sampai atas, tapi tu kalau panjat geli-geli ngn penuh sopan santun bleh la kot sampai atas, kalau nak soh speed.. heheheh

Malakoff Duathlon Series 2005
|
|
1st event this year was held at Dataran Merdeka on 27th March 2005.
next malakoff series:
15th may '05 - Lumut, Perak
31st july '05 - Johor Baru, Johor
25th september '05 - Putrajaya
personal opinion : didn't finish the race coz of a punctured tyre for the cycling event, but enjoyed the whole race anyway.. great athletes with great sportsmanship.
Training: last minute training.. registered on the 20th of march with adelin(baby).. actually we didn't even plan to participate, just thought of supporting biskut manis team(epot,padil and botak), but then when I browsed the page, there'a an individual short distance event (for beginners like me).. so apalagas.. racun baby to join the category.. tuesday - 4 days till race day baru kelam kabut start traning.. we trained twice/thrice a day coz of panic attack.. kes kes kes..
tuesday :
morning - jogging at bukit melawati with baby (yusof haslam's area), dah lama tak jogging badan rase berat gila.. nak termuntah jugak laa
evening : went swimming at kelana jaya along with baby and veronica for about an hour.
wednesday :
morning - panjat gunung bunga buah with baby and adli. promised to take adli hiking there.
night : cycling (4 laps). 1 lap is about 4km.. exhausted.. dah la pagi panjat gunung
thursday :
morning : cycling around cyberjaya (10km). my timing is slow 10km - about 40 minutes. gile lembab, padil kate 10km bleh buat 20minit
night : swimming with mazni
friday :
morning : cycling another 10 km -same route as yesterday. This time my timing improved. 10km manage to complete in 27 minutes. kalau train lagi mesti bleh lagi kurang.. But.. too late.. sunday dah race. hehe
night : rest
saturday : rest.. loading time.. mkn sebanyak yg boleh..
sunday: race day.
placed bike at the transition area. watched botak and nowa run for the team relay category. then our turn next (me and baby). Got a bit nervous and excited. hehe We stood in the middle of the pack so the laju guys and girl can overtake us.. we didn't want to get in their way.. ecehh..
then, off we go.Lari .. lari.. off to a good start. Baby was just a couple of minutes behind me. Overtook a few girls and guys and came to the transition area in 21 minutes (actually quite slow for 3km run) - supposed to finish in less than 18 minutes.. tapi takpe.. went to my bike and run with it out of the transition area (you can;t ride your bike in the transition area).
Then suddenly, somebody shouted "kak, tayar pancit!". Huh , at first I thought it wasn't meant at me. But I felt like looking down at my bike anyway and ciss!! tayar aku pancit.. uwaaa!! nak nangis pon ade.. asked for a pump but still no use. Tube bocor terus. Spare tube dalam kete lak tu.. aduh.. the biggest mistake that day. I guess it was because we were late and we forgot everything.
Baby then passed by me and asked what happened. I simply said tayar pancit and she almost stopped (she later told me she thought we had to stop to do something.. akkakaka) seb baik dia tak stop.. maklumla.. dedua first time masuk malakoff..
Anyway.. had a good time though a bit dissapointed and hope i can enjoy and finish the next one in Lumut.. 
cun la gamba ni..colourful
