Where you STAND in Year 2008?

In 1 more week time,we will going to celebrate the year 2009.So i would like to know that where exactly you all have achieved so far in year 2008 events?Do you satisfied with your performance?Any weakness that need to adjust as to improve your performance?How you think that what kind of method can help you the most?Lets us look at the small picture of what had been we achieved so far.

In the early year 2008,we been in KL Towerthon which was a Team event.So theres 2 teams of us which got to the 2nd and 5th placing in university category.Looking at the top 20 guys that fininshed to the top tower there,their average time was around 14-15mins+,so you all knnow about your own time,so just take to compare it,whether you think that you had done enough to conquer the tower?I think suppose to be "NO"!The gap of time between you all with the top guy there still far away,but what we can do is to close up the gap,hence i hope that those fail to ahieve their main target of timing,stop a while during the race or what so ever....just make sure you wont repeat the mistake again in year 2009!

Then come the KL Marathon?I joined the 10km while other join the half and full.This race we beared our own cost to reach the destination.As i said this is international race,hence to achieve certain target will be good enough.You dont have to go inisde top 20 or whatso ever tough mission.Just try your best to get in a good placing then take it as your good exposure or experience to learn something else!I think Lim had improved a lot since he joined the race more than others.

What about month of May and April,infact we plan to join the sundown in Singapore.But didnt manage to do so.Quite dissapointed.....Then its the mid year holidays....till July

Back to uni,its been really really busy in the coming months of July,August till October!

July is where the MUDS(Malakoff University Duathlon Series) been held for 3 series till mid of August.I myself really worry about the bike as i cant get it till my friend,Kecik finally lend a hand to me.Thanks him a lot!We also form mixed team.This event is to run bike run.I know that my chance of winning wont really good as its been my first time involvement in this kind of race. With the advice from our Tuan Penasihat,Mr Black as he was former Johor Cyclist.I learn a lot from him about the cycling method.Thanks him a lot!I thinks Lim also learn a lot from him and Abang Mus,who is also former Johor Cyclist.We ride together not only can help fosfied our frienship but also to improve each other cycling skill.MUDS been really a worry for us,coz after the first series we suddenly become the leader in the university category which lead over UPNM,the strongest competitor among all universities!Then its been headache as for us to make sure we can maintain this position for the coming 2nd and final series.

So the 2nd series,some of our friends didnt joined coz of other programme commitment,hence our position slipped to third.Infact we are lucky in the last mins of the 3 series as to get the uni bus to travelled us to KL!If whithout the bus,life will become tougher for us to hang on!You know that bring along the bicycle with you from JB to KL is been really hard especially using the express bus.Yes,its not impossible,but its just so complicated.as the bus driver may not want to take the bike insisde it or ask for $$$$...Ha!

Come to the 3rd series also the final one..Suddenly most of the Kakithoners become "HOT" as they want to conquear as to fight till the end with UPNM.We knew that our mission of topping the Military Uni is very hard.But i really appreciate and thought by the courageous as to join the final series to fight till THE END!

Then come to the Adidas King of The Road.I think its orth for you all to travell to Shah Alam as this event also consider a "hot event" where the clothe that offer is quite good to cover back some of your $$..Myslef had nothing to lost but gain the Adizero back hehe!

Larian Keputeraan Johor is a race which had and early rain condition,whereby i afraid you all dont really used to it.Anyway it stop when the race started late around 10 mins.I hope that you all can also enjoy in a run which coer of raining condition.This will indirect to help you all in any condition.You cant just blame to the weather when you cant perform!

How about the Perhentian Island Challenge??Wow! this is an amazing race that you all shouldnt miss!Regard its as a holiday venue,the Terengganu Government had spent a lot as to make sure this event went smooth.The race?Tough..this is what i can describe for those beginner even the Novice category also consider tough!Experience it next year!

Then its our final semester exam...

Come to the KRI,whereby we had our most Kakithoners joined event together.Wong,Lim,Lee while Perak guy,Chan as host invite us to his home stay.Thanks him a lot.This race also let the kakithoners learn to run more than 10KM!You all always run around 5km....Now you all know about the painfull about the race which longer than usual ler ba!Hehe!Learn to run longer will have sloghtly advantage for you!Coz not every race which mention 10km is sure to be 10km!Some may exceed to 11km just like the 2nd link run!

Finally i hope you all can analyse your own condition regard to the races that joined whether your good side or bad side..just go for it..Dont stop in the half route!Coz you all are better than those normal guy....turst in yourself that you can do it!

Penang Bird Park Charity Run 2008

Penang Starwalk 2008

What a relieve finished my Starwalk 2008 yesterday,i knew that my condition now is been low,hence to be able to break into certain placing is quite impossible some more you all believe me or not,i just train for 2 times only regards this event!Suppose that i need to prepare it at least 2 weeks before the race but i didnt make it because my other events have disturb the process hence i have no choice but to hang on.Yesterday starwalk had attracted more than 14k people came to join and is the record for so many years the event been organised.Dad been back from Alor Setar,Kedah to travelled me there,PISA(Penang Internatonal Sport Arena)the place where badminton,swimming events organised frequently.7 am sharp the event started for competition category.For the first 1km,i can saw a lot of people trying to break away,how?They run and run.This is very dangerous because a lot of judges been around there to disqualified them!Sice last time i learnt from my mistake,i make it a point to finsh all the race by walking and make sure no knee bending.When i reach the 5km mark i already in 30mins,and i knew that my position to finish within top 3 had gone,but anyway just make sure i finish the race safe without any disqualified.I been overpass by the Women junior veteran champion,Serene Siah,i tried so hard to follow her just in around 10mins then i dont want to risk my leg posture anymore,i knew that if i still follow her,my chance to getting disqualified become higher(knee bending).Then for the last 5km mark i walk more carefully than before as i been told by friends before that the judges will be more strict to ctach those front walker.Finally i finished the race below 1 hour ,the time was 59mins 30secs which was 1 mins slower than my last year time.Dad been wait at the finishing line there and he told me got inside top 10 placing.I didnt care so much about it,as went on to change my clothes.There were a lot of entertainment been set up.Digi the main sponsor had contributed alot for the events.Other sponsor such as Milo,100 plus,Malta,Spritzer,Nestle,Suzuki,Air Asia,Panasonic and so on....I and dad went on to play the game by Digi.Then we went in the indoor stadium where the entertainment events will be held there,such as Lucky draw,prizes ceremony.The results been out and i got to know that i finish in 8th i cant ask for more about it.Thanks God that i manage to do well in this event.Then my friend,Yu Song who is a teacher finished in 6th ahead of me in Men Open.Another friends which was my last time Penang School Council team,Ho chun Wei had done very well by finishing in 2nd in Boys category,his time was well ahead mine of which 54mins+1 this that i hate the most is almost most of the organisers in Malaysia that i went to so far never have a proper way to distribute the prizes especially those not on stage prizes(top 3).This Starwalk also same.So many mens category,they only have 1 guy to distribute all these?So funny,Please la...dont you organiser dont have enough man power?Just make it every category 1 guy will be more than enough!Then i got the prizes which was some medicine,cosmetic,heal cream,counterpain,Digi rm50 reload and umbrella.What about the lucky draw?Last year i got a 30th placing Lucky draw of which i went to E&O Hotel with my mum 1 night,spa vouche and fan.This is bad nothing at all.Anyway from the Rm12 that i paid for the event i been get back more than it.No lost haha!I am looking forward the next year event.

Swimming.....

Yesterday i went to the Seberang Jaya,Penang Public swimming pool with Lee.Since get into the KoQ Swimming class with En Azhar,i have learned a lot from him,Although now i only know the basic of breaststroke style and floating but at least i feel really satisfied with it,before this i really hate to swim,i scare of it and i dont think i can get to swim because i know that to learn it you have to pay for it.Yeah!Its true you have to pay and sacrifice for something that you dont get to it before!I took the chance provided by my Uni as to join KoQ this year.In fact most of my friends just got scared by swimming class,as they know that its been really hard to get A grade in it.But i dont care for it anymore,i know that we get to join it is to learn not to get the good grade as its not the main priority.Now i feel that i have make a wise decision by joining in it.I know that theres still far for me to go,and i need to strive hard to get the best in future.So what about you all?Get set and go for it now!Dont wait till old age,He!He!

KRI Run 2008

Its been really nice Ipoh trip for this weekend!!!Kaithoner consist of Chan,Lee,Lim,Wong and i went to ipoh for the KRI Run which been rated as a very good race by my friends.I and Lee been in Ipoh on friday and Chan bring us to some interesting places to visit yet also been introduce us the famous and popular cuisine in Ipoh: Nga Choi Gai/Tauge Chicken.Ipoh town has been surrounded by hill hence its been popular of people saying that this town produce a lot of beauty ha!Chan's parent has been really nice to both of us.Thanks to them!On saturday we all went to the collection centre as we were amazed by the no. being distributed which been printed our name as well!This is so far i first time seen such thing.Then at that night was the arrival of of Lim and Wong.Although have to pay forr RM50 as the late entry but Lim still determine to make it.Salute him a lot!During collection time,i met with Sham,Jasni,and some other friends.The race day coming and start at 7am sharp.I saw a lot of Brooks vest Indian guy hence i expect to be tough race for me and other Kakithoners.Running at 12.8km may be a bit tough for those that training less than 10km guy,for example Lee.And today he felt the HEAT ha!Through out the race,the distance which been measured by the organiser is been 'sharp' enough.Not like other race which always 'Bohong' about their real race distance.I kept chasing the front pack,but its been so hard to follow Muniandi the champion in mens 30+ group champion.Then come Jasni i also hard to follow but still can keep up the pace with him.Adri the BM Leopard team guy came also,he's been really good at both Half Marathon and 10K hence i just keep up the pace with him whereby i trail by him around 25meters along the road.My pace through out the whole race is been around 4mins which is average for me.Suppose i can achieve below 4mins,but looking at my condition and training,its been realistic to achieve such feat.Then till the final 1k,there was a guy came from behind and chased me,i produce kinda kick and push to leave him but just couple of meters.But his spirit really high and come again with more powerful push this time,where i can describe it as 100m sprint,my speed also not bad but still lost to him a bit.No way,its just like the final round during MUDS where Chan produce his final kick which i felt really hard to keep it up although i also produce my final push which not as strong/powerful like him.Crossed the final line,and i had to settled for 9th placing in men 20-29 age group.My time is 52 mins 27secs which way of the 43 mins produced by Muniandi!Then come Lim,his time is 57mins + followed by Lee 59 mins+ Wong 59mins+ and Chan 1hour +.Then chit chat a while with sham/syah/Alex/Yap and a lot of my friends there.We took photo,lucky draw where Lim so lucky got his prizes.Then prize giving and we hurry back to Chan's home where i and Lee need to catch up with Alex's car back Penang.For next week we will have Round Penang Relay then is Starwalk.Overall i am satisfied with the performance of Kaithoners.But you all still have room to improve and get better in each race!Keep it on Kakithon!

Recent activities updates

Hi.....its been long that theres no post in this site.Since 20th Nov i back to my hometown in Penang,Permatang Pauh(recent election where Anwar won his parliamentary seat).I and Lee still continue our normal daily training.What about you all???I hope that you all can enjoy your holiday but just dont forget our next year target and mission.In fact for this holidays is been very useful for you all to really gauge your training as to see whether you all can really independent by training your own.I can really feel that training your own is far difficult than our group training.For example you will become lazier,you will feel bored by running your own,you will feel that your run is not as smooth as before,and you will feel that your running speed or performance become lower than before.All of these syntomb(sorry dont know how to spell Malay is sintom) is been normal for runner like us.You dont have to really worry about it.Anyway bear in mind that you cant just stop at there or give up because of your holidays,you may choose to reorganize your training routine/programme.For example you can change your long run to shorter run so that you wont feel bored or change to some training route that more interesting to you,for example choose to run up a hill where people frequently exercise during noon time.Instead or training everyday,you can choose to run only 3 or 2 times a week.This may be become lesser than before but at least you dont stop your training routine.For this sunday,some of the kakithoners will race in the KRI Ipoh race.Running the distance of 12.8km may be a bit long than before for you all,but i hope that you all can take this opportunity to see how long/far that you body can sustain.In fact our training in university has been lesser than 10km,hence its not easy to run a distance which longer than our training.Anyway nothing is impossible.For example myself.I has been trained less than 6km but still be able to run in 10km.But this is not recommended for those beginner as it will give them harder task to cross especially during the competition day.In fact i dont really recommended kakithoners to folllow this style will be tough for you all.Hence its better we train in a moderate distance which can really cover out the competition distance.Only then you all wont really feel tough during the racing.Till here,i wish all the kakithoners can perform well in coming events.Dont put too much pressure in yourself.Just relax and feel easy about it.......All the best.....
