Chaotic SC KL Marathon

From frens of blogger,through the newspaper that i read already shown that this year KL Marathon is one of the worst organised event through out so many years!I think as compare to Singapore SC Marathon,KL Marathon just nothing to be proud of!

From the day of taking bib and no. till the race day,the organiser just didnt doing any good job which to let the event going smooth.

Anyway i feel relive as my decision of not joining this event prove to be a correct decision,i dont know/not sure whether fellow Kakithoners agree with me,but atleast theres other sources that prove the event just not a well organised event.From the start of the event,i already heart about some of the product company didnt want to become sponser of the events just because of the demanding organiser!Come on....you are organiser,people want to support to your event you still want this want that?Just such a rediculous,ya may be you can say you are organising a big event,but a big event also need to have cooperation between each other.By thinking of you own way will just out of your way!

I hope that with this the organiser can really realise what had really happened to the event and improve it in future.Look at the organiser or Singapore as our example is good enough ler!

Shape Run 2009

So this is a late post by me which i think made a mistake not to post it here!Anyway after i study/read through the details that been given through the website/here.

I think its worth for us to join!Before this i always think that its a women running event!But since i download the entry form i saw theres men category as well!The route is 11.5km with the registration fees of Rm30 and you will get worth of Rm300 goodies item!So you wait for what?1 more thing to tell you all is that this run is a night run just like Sundown...Yeah go feel it again!Black been registered for it...lets follow his footstep ba..

Any1 that interest give me ur full detail as soon as possible,i dun wan to delay anymore!Cheers.........

Ipoh Starwalk 2009

So this is the inaugural Ipoh Starwalk that held in last Sunday.Our Kakithoner,Chan been joined the event since 2 years ago if i not mistake.I know that he is getting better n stronger because of the experience he gain in our training and racing.

Anyway this is walking event,hence our experience in it are much lesser than running.But its not the point where we cant perform well.Results been showed that both i and Chan.As i always joined the Penang Starwalk.My placing for each year is well within top 10.Last year i finished in 8th.For Chan this year,i been registered also but due to the financial circumstances,i decide not to go as i am in uni training and also i and Lim Kor will go to Ipoh International Run on 5th July.

Chan Said he didnt perform a good time but feel that his performance is better that last year.How come?This as he said this year more hilly than last year.This year his time is 1 hour 6 mins.And he got in 4th placing ! In men open category!He said during the last few mins been overtook by another walker which seem to be disqualified of running/bending knee.If he is not overtook by the walker,he most probably get inside top 3 and will get full of Prizes and cash money in his pocket ler!Hopefully by joining such event will really gain more and become stronger in future!

Heres the cert and Medal won by Chan.Similary to Penang Starwalk medal.I suggest the Star paper to be more creative to chance abit the design of the medal since so long they still use the same design...zzzz

Impian Emas Cycling session

Wednesday night,i and lim together went to Taman Impian Emas,around 5km from UTM here.We ride to there with our mountain bike.Jiha and Black also joining us.So this is the 2nd time i been follow to this cycling group.Most of them are using Road bikes.

We reached there around 8.45pm and we all have an idea why not we run for 1 small loop of 2km to heat up ourself.There we go!Then just after we finished our run,in a few mins then we start our bike session.We have to go through 4 loops of which each loop around 6km.Then for the first loop,the pace wasnt that fast,every1 seem to be relax.But when come to the 2nd loop,they all start to bang n go faster.Its been hard for me to catcth up with those roa biker!Anyway i try follow lim for 2nd n 3rd lap.Till the 4th loop,i wasnt have the enough energy and lim was up there far from me.

Then we finish to the bike session and continue our run.Jiha and Black decide to run for 1 lap while i and lim were run for 2 laps.Surprisingly Lim still have the energy to catch up with me.Good hob for him.I think his performance of that ay can convince me to his standard where he reallt stand among us.Till here thnks to all abang-abang that we met during bike session.

Special Photo for Sundown...each runner

So this is the latest photo taken from snapshot website which link to the Sundown marathon website.Heres the individual photo,reaction of each of us during the finishing line.Check them out!

I would like to announce that theres slightly change of our training programme.To make it convenient for all,I would like to change our training base to the T-Junction near KTHO,L22 there.Theres a loop of 1km consist of KTHO n KTR.

Apart from that loop,we also have a small loop in KTHO area which just beside the big loop,its around 700m so we can use it as our speed training base.Not only that the area which after the tennis court of KTHO near L13 is abit hilly.But its just around 200m only,so we can take it as our hill training base.

In fact all these just a basic for you all to training your fitness level.Anyway i hope you all can really utilise it.Some how here also close to the KTF Gym which suit us the best.

Ok,lets talk about the training time.The is 6pm everyday.For weekend if theres request we can switch to nite or morning.For weekdays is same as above.

JB Eco Challenge 2009

So the First edition of JB eco challenge was held at last sunday in Dataran Jb.Its been that our super senior,Mr Faraied also come in to join as far from KL.The race director Mr Dale had been doing great job in oder to make sure that all are going smooth.

Among the Kakithoners that joined are Black,Jiha,Lim,Yong Han,Chan n myself.Theres 2 team name courtesy of Kakithon which are Kakithon A12G, Kakithon Z and Kakithon.Me and Kak Julie forming another team name Starkts.

Before the event we felt kinda headache becuase of transport problem.Why i say so???Thats because of our Sundown event on Saturday night then the next morning is JB Eco challenge!So how are we going to make it without transportation?We expect to finish our sundown around midnight then need to rush back to JB before the early morning 7am!The Eco Challenge start at 8am.Anyway we were glad to make it as we were using Kereta Sewa( Rent Car) to getting job done. Still we reached UTM alrd at 1am ler!

Our life been made to easier because of the transportation/Van provided by our College KTHO ( Kolej Tun Hussien Onn)!Really Thanks to our Pengetua Kolej,Dr Hazilan by letting us use the van to bring along all those bicycle.The driver is Felo,Encik Azri,he is a really kind person that wait for us throughout the whole morning till our finishing!Thanks to him alot!

This easrly morning where Lim Kor(Lim) with the help of our Senior VIP,Encik Faraied putting the bike inside the van.The van quite spacious than can contain 4 bikes together!Seem that both of them kinda cant wait for the event to start,they alrd wore the bike helmet....hehe!
The team elite categories were started first,anyway the first that finish the line were novice men team.Our Kakithon Z team of Yong Han and Chan were finishing in 6th placing,well done to them!Before this,the team was comprise of Lee and Yong Han.But due to the injury of Lee,he had give up his place.While Chan is on waiting list or Back up to fill in the place.I know that after sundown 10k,his recovery wasnt that good.Anyway i jus tell him to relax and go for it.Yong Han on the other hand need to cancell off his schedule in Penang Meeting which will be held on same date also.I think his sacrifice of this event is worth enough by winning the 6th placing and the cash for themself!
Chan suppose to be the big winner in this week,by winning the Sundown and the eco Challenge here,i suppose he is the Kakithoner of the month of May.Any objection???Jus put ur opinion on our Chat box there. He is doing pretty well in these few weeks.I hope that with his determination,he can really go far than this.He had learn alot.His personal best time in Sundown 10km already shown that his training before this is worth more than enough!Keep it on,i hope to see him get his elusive medal in Masum next year.Nothing is impossible for every1 of us.
The Dataran JB of where the starting and fininshing of the event.I hope that with this kind of event will really spur up the image of Johor in becoming sport culture among the Johorean,also become a sports tourism.
The first elite team that reach the finishing line of our Kakithon members were Black and Faraied.Look at our Tuan Penasihat hair style....x geti nak describe la...Kinda soldier hair style..Faraied pula cukup Chun dengan spek yang dia pakai tu!They had done pretty well by finishing in 8th placing jus 1 placing from the winner list of cash money!Some how i must say salute to Faraied for using the Caplang Bike!that bike without suspension system yet can really go through the trial in Hutan Bandar!

They both posing with the finishing medal.

Me and Kak Julie after finish our team mixed elite.Look my face kinda suffer alot,ha!Anyway i felt quite relax during the race by dragging on her.I must say sorry to Kak Julie for adding another hardness to her where i had cause her fall down from bike during the last day of our riding in UTM,I knew that her left knee cant push so much,so by finishing the race in 6th is kinda consolation for us.Anyway thanks her for willing to be my partner!
Our Kakithon elite team of Lim and Jiha.I think Jiha not really recover from her sundown,hence its been normal that their pace become slow.Anyway you have to be patience if you really wan to be top performer!NOthing can be done in a way of 'short cut'!Lim on the other hand had become better and better,i hope that with this event can really let him become stronger ...

They took their finishing medal with the JB Vip.

Look like a perfect combination of a mixed team!Next time they may be forming team again...hehe!

Adidas Sundown Marathon Part 2

For the last weekend,saturday and sunday been one of the busiest moment for Kakithoners!Saturday night is where Adidas Sundown Marathon been held in Singapore for the 2nd times,4 of us(Me,Lim,Chan and Jiha)been join Team corporate 10k event.Theres also other categories courtesy of utramarathon 84km,Marathon,and women 10k.We four went to Singapore right after taken our JB Eco Challenge race kit in Dataran Jb in that evening around 3pm.We went there by kereta sewa.Chan been more familiar to the singapore map,hence hes been our driver all the way.Thanks him alot!1 thing i must mention is that the traffic jam during we cross over through causeway link,during the Kastam in Jb here n Woodland in Singapore there so bad whereby we need to spend half and hour only in both the kastam areas!Anyway we were glad to make it through!

Jiha is first time cross over to a foreign country,because of the Sundown she had to make a passport,and i think it worth for her after all this!The Singappore government policy of weekend dont have to pay any toll fees make it easier for us.If not,we have to cross by what we so call the ERP of Every Road Pay condition,then we will have to spend more!

Around 5.30pm we reached Changi Village,the starting location of the race.Here also a family outing beach.Where you can see alot of family member having their picnic,BBQ,camping here!Their government been considerate of building running/cycling trial jus beside the beach sand so that people can enjoy the most for their healthy lifestyle!

We four went to eat at around 6pm where there is a food court comprises of variety foods of all 3 races.We all finish our food at around 6.30pm.I never thought that the 1 and half hour after finishing the food is the killer strategy for me and our teams members!I thought that the 1 and half hour is good enough,but infact,its wasnt!You want to know why i say so?
follow below this......

At 8pm sharp our race started!I have to mention the different situation of Singapore and Malaysia before the race been started is the athletes wont really get so close to each other untill body contact happend in Malaysia.So this mean you will have ample of places for you to get 'fresh air' rather than air from other people body....Alot of Marshall been doing their job through out the race and i must say they had done quite well in term of Cheering up the runners and keeping the race smooth!

I was timed around 19mins30sec when i reach the 5km mark.At that moment,i wasnt feel well anyway,i knew that the food that eaten just now been a big problem for me where i can felt the food taste in my throat n mouth area.Yet i knew that if i had not performed well,what about my other teamates?I in my heart also scared that they may face the same situation like me!If such condition happended to 3 of them,sure they cant hang on!I had no choice but to continue
the last 5km,too bad i cant really follow my revolution during the first 5km mark.My speed been low but i try to keep and maintain it up.Thanks god that i had made it!My last 5.5km mark was around 23 mins which not satisfied me at all.

My times of finishing is around 42 mins 11 secs.Surprisingly,in a few moment i saw Chan coming then Lim!Wow!they are quite fast!This was what i thought at that moment!I though that may be they need at least 3 to 4 mins to catch me up!But the results showed thats is NOT!They both infact had done their best 10.5km time!Their own personal best time!Chans Time is 44 mins 21 secs while Lims Time is 45 mins 23 secs!Amazing!i am really proud and thanks them.Me was doing my own personal worst time,yet they were so good to achieve their another level!Good job Chan and Lim!

Meanwhile we keep waiting for JIha,coz we knew that the most crucial part is her.The times was around 54mins 16 secs when she reached the finishing line,Thanks god that she had made it also!As i expect before,she got the condition which same with me,this greatly affect her running routine.Anyway i still feel proud of her spirit to battle againt the hardness during the race!

We all went to explore all the booth that been setting up.The frolick yogurt booth provided nice yogurt,yummy!Other sponsers are Counterpain,Energiser,Polar,Seven sea and more...Forget to mention,we all got our nice finisher medal and Adidas Visor.
So we went back to our parking lot to change our attire.Then wait for the moment that we waiting for.....The results!
Its been kinda problem of the organiser which handle the problem that occur.They delay abit of the results and times of presenting prizes on the stage.We knew that we need to reach UTM Hostel before 12 midnight.Yet when we approach the marshall that handle the results,they told us to wait for another half an hour because there technical of calculating runners time.

In my mind i thought that the best we could go is 3rd placing.Anyway when they announce the results and asked the winner to go up stage to take their prizes,we surprisingly got the 2nd placing!Jiha damp happy about the outcome,and i must thanks Chan and Lim of their effort of keep our team on track of claiming this rare moment!Jiha too....Whithout waiting
so much we four went up the stage and claimed our hard earned prizes of crystal and $500 of Adidas product voucer.Our celebration just a while because we really need to ruch back to prepare for the next day event : JB Eco Challenge!

We reach UTM already 1am thanks to the traffic jam in JB Kastam there,dont know why till midnight this kind of situation still happend!This infact shouldnt been happend,as it wil greatly affect the image of our country to other foreigner.I sincerely hope authorities will done something to improve the situation.

Talking back to the Sundown....Whats my feeling??WOW! Amazing!NIce night race,no heat every been cool!not the weather cool only,the organiser also cool!The Singaporean also cool,why i say so??its their enthusism that make me think so.Their sport culture been better than us alot!No matter what gender,what races,they all just keep their feet on and going on to strive their target!This kind of sport lifestyle is what we all Malaysia really need to follow and learn for! Being a tiny country,yet their race can attract alots of participants to join.What about Malaysia?Malaysia cant really hope for the KL International Marathon only!More races and sport culture development need to be done.We are far lack behind our neighbour country!Believe me, if theres no much improvement been made by us,we will see the Singaporean get their first ever gold medal in Olympic much early than us!

The No. Tag as given by organiser,printed our teams name thereBackside of the no tag printed participants name and no.We reach near nicol drive,find our way of parking our car,free of charge at that moment..Along the running and cycling trial,our right hand side is the beach area Makan...makan...My yang zhou fried rice,Jihas Nasi ayam,Lims Char siew fan,and Chan Nasi ayam too..hehe!Having our shot at the starting line Ultra marathon guy start their race at 7.30pmThere we show out our shoes with the D-Tag chip technologyThe big screen which entertain the crowd,also the movie that will show in midnight time,anyway we miss it....Chan and Jiha having their time while waiting for the resultsThey pose again....Lim should become model rather than civil engineerOn the stage with our prizes,quite surprise that other team seem no interest to come up ha. back home times......THe medal,plake,visor and more...
