IoI Community Run 2008

Another run that clash to Powerman,Lumut.I never join this run hence cannot coment much about it.But it seem really interesting.Anyway that period is final exam time hence it will be hard for the guys to make it.Most probably will miss this run.If you all really want to go then you better set a good target and try to get your best placing.The distance for men and women open is 7.3km and the fees is Rm15.00.For more detail can check out at IOI .
You also can get the entry form by click HERE.

Another announcement is that this saturday night 9.30pm ,we will still have our duathlon training.This time T.penasihat may bring some of his friends to join us.I really hope that you all can take this opportunity to learn something new.

For the PIC update.Its been really sad that our Elite team of T.penasihat with his partner have to withdraw because of injury from his partner.Hence only 3 Kakithoners will go to PIC.

Night training of duathlon in UTM

What a FEELING!!!Its been really nice to train at night,6 of us(T.Penasihat,Jiha,Ida,Lim,Han and i)went for the training of duathlon at nigh at around 9.45pm start off.We decided to run for 2.4km then cycle for 18km and run for 3km.Our training is rated as moderate,anyway safety still is the first thing that we all want to make sure of.Theres also another function near our tepi tasik which was Festival Tang Lung,a lot of colourful light at there.All of us had been wore the plain colour clothes.The gals were doing great job,although in Puasa month and lack of training,they still put all the effort in the 3 parts.Thumbs up for 2 of them.If we always train like that,i m sure you all can reallly make vast improvement.Guys also not bad,as we want to make sure everyone in group,hence we may slow down oour pace a bit,but by letting gals to lead the race in the run part,they actually had run a sub48,49mins pace!Which considered really good for them.Cycling part is very crucial in the gearing control system,Ida still need to learn more about it.Last running part,everyone just run a constant pace and had a final push of 250m.We chit /chat till 12.30am.T.Penasihat had given us many advice especially regarding his experience when with the Johor cyclist.Thanks him a lot!Its been a wonderful night for us apart of getting back our Kakithon Spirit!!!So next week,will will still have same session ,same place,same time and SAME KAKITHON SPIRIT!!!haha!

The MUDS 2008 news in newspaper

From the update of Kak Julie,i had read what its mentioned inside the paper and felt that its true that this kind of sport(Duathlon or Triathlon)still not yet being really seriously looked by University admin.Its really sad,as our country feel behind a lot of the other Europe countries,Australia,New Zealand even Japan.Promotion of this of sport still very less in Malaysia,what about in University level?Trust me...if you ask any of the University student about whats Duathlon,i am sure that very less know about it!Triathlon may be they know more about it,but still very lack of infos among them.Anyway i hope that University can see more and take proactive role as to produce more world class athletes.Looking at the recent Beijing Olympic,theres some of the world reknown university students that take part also(Cambridge Uni.etc)I personally had looked at the Olympic women Triathlon champion,Emma Snowsill.She is truly champion and what she done has said enough of a criteria being the best in the world!
P/S:Kak JIha and Ida talk also sudah dipapar oleh Utusan,harap-harap apa yang dinyata oleh beliau dapat Pihak Uni mengambil berat.Bukan ambil berat,kena ambil tindakan yang wajar also...ha! ;-)

Ni....apa yang dicakap dan dilempar....BELOW...

‘Sukan anak tiri’

Pemenang tempat kedua kategori Wanita Universiti, Nazihah Abdul Ghani berharap pihak Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) tidak menganggap sukan dualtlon dan triatlon sebagai `sukan anak tiri' sebaliknya lebih berani menaja penglibatan pelajar di dalam sukan itu.

Beliau yang menyertai MUDS bersama lima rakan universiti berkenaan sebaliknya membuktikan keupayaan mengharumkan nama pusat pendidikan mereka melalui sukan itu.

“Kita minta agar pihak universiti supaya tidak meminggirkan sukan ini daripada arus sukan perdana.

“Sokongan yang diberikan pasti akan membuka lebih peluang kepada pelajar untuk mencapai kejayaan bagi pihak universiti ataupun negara,'' katanya ketika ditemui di UPNM, baru-baru ini.

Sehubungan itu, pelajar jurusan Industri Kimia itu berharap lebih banyak acara dan penglibatan diadakan oleh pihak universiti dengan penglibatan pihak swasta.

Pendapat Nazihan turut dikongsi bersama rakan universitinya, Nurul Hidayah yang mendapat tempat kelima dalam kategori yang sama.

Menurut Nurul Hidayah, keupayaan negara menganjurkan pertandingan bertaraf antarabangsa seperti Le Tour De Langkawi, Triathlon Desaru dan Langkawi Wilderness Challenge tidak seharusnya berakhir sekadar menjadi tuan rumah sahaja.

Perkembangan itu katanya jika dimanfaatkan sepenuhnya bakal melahirkan barisan pelapis dalam skuad sukan yang semakin popular sejak ia diperkenalkan melalui Sukan Asia Tenggara (SEA).
