KLAVA 09 Back To Nature Relay (katanyer)

The run was actually held at Batu Dam resevoir not at Taman Metropolitan as said in the forms, punye ler jenuh mencari organiser x jumpa jumpa dalam taman tu, perrrggg... as usual i am the earliest among GBS, tul ke? i arrived at around 6.15 am, talk about early bird catch the worm, had a quick breakfast 2 set of toasted bread with bluberry jam spread, plus having to endure quite a bad gastric pain post raya melantak, i'm really not in a good shape, well this is only 3.5 km run, what the heck, redah ajer.... the day before i went to redah ajer 17 km at Lake Titiwangsa,

back to the race , the starting and registration tent was actually 1 km away from our parking spots, no wonder ler i tak jumpa, sampai sosat ler,....heheh, called the Grim Tri ( Bro Ian and Che) Otw dah pukul 7 ni, Che's car was in trouble, punctured tyre by an ice breaker stick???huh..how did that get on the road, it could be a murder weapon, ceh CSI ler pulak, ok nevermind i took the bibs and decided the i will be the first runner then Che and last will be Bro Ian ( he much faster than us, trainer kan,..) our number started with 20-01 (first runner) then continues to the third..x de lak 20-12 hehehe

The race was a little bit kelam kabut ler...maklum ler orang- orang veteran yang handle, no portable toilets were available, the ones at the park do not open till 8 am , apo ke jadah ler, well it is back to nature theme right, so another stream of back to nature ler...happening around the race area..huhu...i almost forgot to take my baton, there actually a baton, well...it seems that the organiser had foreseen that most the runners are subsequent runners from the same previous event held before,...well yeah..not us..mane lar tahu tetibe dia bagi ribbon jer..nak save ler katanyer

being the first runner, selalu harapan yang paling tinggi, i did ran all the way to starting line, my pace was terribble , i'm just out of air all the time, 3.5 km sprinting...mmm..not trained for that, the veterans were very strong indeed...they very much better than us..perrr malu ler pulak...heheh, they were couple of the usuall runner's faces around i.e. chap ayam, der pacemakers, heheh..

well it was a fun race, i did not give my all, just enjoying the view of the dam plus running with fav running buddies of GBS,

the price giving ceremony was so lengthy, it was held under the scorching morning sun, perrrg..could we just take our medal and leave, plus there are no foods after race, as for Che he is ok with that but for me..alamak lapar tahap cipan ni...nak tunggu dapat medak pun dah dekat sejam perrrggg...

overall the running was fun but the race ....ok ler, ..taking into consideration the limited amount of funds plus it was organised by the veterans kan...

I was poking around with Che, we were saying that next year Bro Ian could not be in our category anymore hehehe..dah jadi junior veteran ler dia....

Final Verdict : My time 18 minutes, our placing is 18 out of 35 ( i think)...
