Malakoff University Duathlon Series 1

17th July 2008,4 of us(me,Lee,Lim,and new kakithoner Suhaimie Tolek)arrive at UKM at around 10pm,and we went in the hostel/rumah tetamu near Kolej Aminudin Baki.the next morning which was 18th,friday we went for the race location and its been a little bit hilly area in UKM,and in the evening we went to the Duathlon Clinic and took our race no. and T-shirt.We learned a lot during the clinic and must thank to Shahrom and Stephanie for providing infos about the duathlon provided we are the first timer.19th july is the race day,the race cosist  of 3km-13km-3km(run-bike-run).UPNM was sending the biggest contingent to the race which was more than 50 persons while our UTM only 7 persons!I knew that our biggest threat is UPNM,anyway T.Penasihat ask us to give our best then will be good enough.I and Suhaimie were in Mens Uni category while Jiha in Womens Uni.,the mixed team of Ida,Lim and Lee,T.Penasihat and Faraied in mens open.The race went on well and all of us had finished in very good position.Suhaimie was the men Uni champion,mixed team(2nd),me(4th),Jiha(4th).Only the individual offer the points for the next 2 races which will be held in UM and UPNM.UPNM was the biggest winner in this event anyway our UTM also not bad and can be considered 2nd among other unis.1 things that make the different between UPNM and UTM is their bicycles are sponseored by the unis while we have to fork out our money for our own bike!Anyway we are proud of our acievements.
