SCKLM09: The Race Day

The race begun on Sunday 28 June 2009, wow...but before the racing day we need to collect our racing kit two days before...my goodness what a poor organiser they had...menci tul...leh sampai 2 jam tunggu to get to the counter, with only a few person in front of us....isk siap ade mamat ni dah high blood kot.....Dah jerit jerit to the counter saying....Please gave us some explaination, he has been waiting for nearly two hours and still the line yet to move an even an inch..teruk kan...isk apo ler depa ni...anyway i was quite lucky to have below one hour....per they really need to screw up the organiser ...for destroying the good name of Std Chartered Bank...per....anyway back to the race day...

jitters tu is running quite deep jugak lar dlm hati ni...so the day before the race aku had a good run in the morning at Lake Titiwangsa...itu pun pancit lepas 2 rounds...mmmm..welll ..itu ler x energy boost early in the morning....and i was hoping to see few of my frenz ptg tur for a karaoke session but depa lak flunk ...per geram aku...so aku pi Shah Alam to register for Adidas King Of the Road- 2 august 2009...mm lelepak dgn member aku zam gelak gelak kutuk2 org jap pastu reminiscent about the past ckit,heheh anyway back to the race day kan

pepagi kul 3.30 am i woke up..so sorry (about the mix bahasa yer) ...but then i fell back to sleep and suddenly i realise that is 4.00 am...oopss ...i rush up to the shower room..then get myself prepared...there goes my plan to nourished myself in the morning...actually the race is supposed to start on 7.00 am , why the rush....because it started in the middle of KL where parking space is very very limited...i had npo choice but to be there early...i packed up my bags and took a while to think of what to eat larrr kan..so packed up my aunt's famous cornflakes cookies...well it has all the nutrients and fibers i need to boost my energy level....then off to the race...park my car at lake garden...and it started to rain...lar kan..wet of the rain and make it to dataran...

i dont know lar...the organiser is not quite sensitive of muslim prayer's call in the morning...so nasib baik aku masuk 10km kalau x ...susah gak nak justify kan,,..anyway aku bwk kain pelekat..i peformed my Subuh prayer on 5.44 am at Masjid Jamek , met my fellow schoolmate whom is avid runners too, Uda (Azrul Azam) with his GF rehanni and his younger brother...wah reunion jap then off to the starting line....where the half marathoners are getting ready for their flag off....may one day i will be running half marathon... wow what a large group...may be 10km is only half of the amount...

well here comes the time half hour before 7.00 am, our flag off time, we move on to the upfront of the starting line,well aku cari geng Melawati yang lain tap x de lar pulak,...mm rase berdebar semakin kencang as we are getting closer to the flag off time...and the DJ was pumping our adrenaline with his spirited words..and he did mentioned that the number of 10k runners is 5200 , wow, that is alot...7.00 am , the Merdeka Tower Clock bell rangs off we go....running my first international run...heheh..

The Run

Started with a jog, but i was quite intimidated by Uda's running pace so i kept on escalating my steps to keep up with him...well we did it until we reached KL sentral junction where i overtook him..suddenly the extra energy started to boost in...i continue on the steady pace until I reached bangunan Kementerian Pertanian, where i falt sudden pain in left foot from blister..isk i hate when that happened...well i thought i had taken necessary percaution to it, i had retighten my shoes and change to a more comfortable and less absorbent socks, i guess its not enough or maybe a new shoes needed, mmmm...anyway i took benifit of every water station available,to take a sip or two, the environment i quite new to me, i had never ran in the middle of kl roads before, heheh, anyway, i really enjoy the scenery at along the route to Uncle Samy ex ministry offices, that is where i started to feel the brunt of the blister,..well it almost kills my mood to run, i used the mind over body concepts to fight the pain and continue to run further, i reached bulatan near bank rakyat and i didnt see Uda, may be i left him far behind..heheh..a few familiar faces had overtake me along jalan raja laut, where i had slowed down my pace, i gear up my pace at the last 2 km along jalan tunku abdul rahman....psuhing through a painfull blister of my left foot....lesson learnt twice...im so glad that finnaly i seen the finish line in my horizon, oisk what a feeling, i made my dash through it and reached the finish line...isk....pastu tah berape byk air ler aku tibai kat drink stations....then i went to pick up my stuff and my medal...welll nasib baik ler aku sampai kalau x korang tgk le que nak amik medal ni

oisk ramai tulll...anyway overall the run was a fun and memorable ones...the best thing is that i had finished earlier than i thought i could and i met my old friends and not forgetting my adventure buddy Mr Cheremie.blogspot...and cant wait for next year, i wish could be doing marathon by then.....

Ok then Chow..zzzz

The training goes like this every evening 5 km in less than 30 minutes on the treadmill 5 days a week if i could ler, then on the weekends , i will make an appoint to run opps.. maybe jog jer kot at Lake Titiwangsa in 2 complete non stop rounds. Sometimes i do couple it up with 2 sets of strenght exercise ...just to boost the figure. Ceh ...wahh.... Well it may not be enough to be another Fahrin ke, Jehan ke, but at least it's a start. Now come to last week of preparation..,i will continue on running as usual but may not be concentrating much on the strength exercise...yeah kan..maleh tul..nak wat , tapi result dia memang gempak..itu lah..mmm

On diet pulak, i just maintain my mimimal calorie intake, so that i x bina lebih lemak ler, entah ler tadi baru jer mkn farewell my ex boss, boleh tahan jugak i melantak but it was fun, chit chatting about our department...itu ini lar,..setiap hari aku akan makan pagi telur, nugget and kekadang tu ade fish tempura, potato chips ler with a piece of white bread makcik aku masak ler, tgh hari lak, i will take a peice of fried chicken+ one dish of vege + half palm size of white rice and mlm tu just milk jer...sbb i will be home quite late....so no heavy laden carbo food for me...... but in betwen i do some snacking ler..tapi cheq makan biskut with lipton tea kekadang overboard jugak ler,,tibai lak cakes sometimes cookies berlebihan hehehe, can't help it lar... tapi aku makan supplement food jugak dlm bentuk pil...25multivit with minerals..itu jer,,yang lain tu mahal sgt ler...isk better count fresh food je lar...

Before any running competition i will always get into jitters mood ehhe..plus overwhelming fear..especially looking at the well built and toned participants ..huuh takut seyyy kekadang i will felt that am i fit enough for this competition ke.... ????

Several of my colleagues and fellow school friends from Melawati will joint the race....wah kalau dok tgk depa nyer thread message in Facebook wow...semangat tul depa....that the way ahahah i like it...mmm itu bestnyer this kind of activities u get to know a lot of people tau...ye lar...i was never the popular type pun at school always the subvert ones..always looking a way to avoid crowd..inferiority complex...i guess that what they called for the type of behaviour...................

so mcm biasa life move on...i will keep on moving on...on ...on...on until i reached my goal in running a Marathon.. so ape lagi guys and girls see u on 28 tau..nak amik racing kits hari Jumaat ni,jumpa lagi yer.......Happy running
