2nd Leg of MUDS 2011- UPM - 1/10/2011

Continue with 1^stleg of MUDS, now reached 2^nd leg of MUDS, it was hold in UPM. I get3^rd placing in Mixed Relay Open category when in 1^st legof MUDS. What’s my aim this time? Saturday 6.30am, we already gathered in frontof mess cadets.

7.30am, we departed to UPM. UPNM send the largest contingent,around 70 athletes to there. This race, I have change my cyclist, change to Tn.Hudha, he is the strongest cyclist in Endurance Club.

Well, I can borrow his power to run faster. I’m very strange with UPM’s track, but is ok, it’s justflat road. For my group, the 1^st runner coming in transition area quite fast, then continue with cycling. As I said, Tn. Hudha is the strongestcyclist in our club, he reach in transition area 1^st, he leading the race, after him, is my turn, I was the 1^st one running out from transition area, many runner followed after me.

Compare with guys, I run slower, haha, many runner overtake me and sprint on their way to go to finishing line. As long as no other ladies overtake me, then might be in safe condition. I run steadily and finally get 1^stplacing in 2^nd leg of MUDS. Results already come out.Maybe can be said because of my teammates done well at 1^st, I just can became a winner. Without them,can I win?

Compare to individual category, many ladies and guys did the whole journey with their own effort. I’m solute to those who completed their run-bike-run, duathlon series,Congratulations to them. I need to wait for next year just can do for my own. After the race, like usual, we took photos and playing around while waiting the prize giving ceremony. Kak Julie, a strong athlete who are also an ironmanfinisher treat the whole UPNM’s contingent each ice-cream per person. She is very close with Sir Chan and few of UPNM’s members. She brought her IIUM’s(International Islamic University Malaysia) contingent, quite many athletes from there.

Reached the prize giving session, put on wind breaker and wait them to call my name. Just asexpectation, my group get No.1 in Mixed Relay Open category. Yeah, I’m thewinner. That time, inside my deep heart, 50% happy while 50% in blank emotion.I felt that I just contribute a little bit while the more part is contributes from my team mates. Anyway, I like my team mates and thx a lot to my team mates. Maybe not enough satisfaction for me, next time I should do individual to enjoy the whole tiring journey. My team mates too strong and make me found myweakness on myself. Haha..

After the prize givingceremony, we shake hand with IIUM’s contingent. A leader need leadership whilea sportman also should have sportsmanship. In the battle field, must havewinner and loser, that’s not important at all. The main important thing is sportsmanship.We need to follow rules and regulations and experience the meaning and thepurpose in our race.
