Newton New Year Challenge 2012


2011 was just over, I don’t have time to write the last post @ending post to conclude my life in 2011, but I do create my race report 2011, try to have a look on this >>>>> Race Report 2011. I enjoyed the whole long year of 2011 but I’m not really enjoyed the last day of 2011. I think everybody got a nice and wonderful countdown at outside, but I’m not. Of course I got my own reason, there is Newton New Year Challenge is on the next morning. Haha, if I went to countdown, I scared I will collapsed in the half way to complete this race. So, I choose to sacrifice the nice countdown and lye on the bed when people are waiting for the second to countdown new year 2012. I didn’t waste my time and I still doing revision at the same time hearing fireworks from somewhere else. When others enjoyed happily at outside, I countdown alone with my books in the hostel. What a “special” celebration, that was my 1st time didn’t celebrate new year at outside. Don’t want celebrate new year at hostel anymore…^.^ I slept within 5 seconds after I lyed on my bed, everytime go for event, I will find people to morning call me, I scared I can’t wake up. I set 5 alarms to wake me up, and ask my mother to call me up on 3.30am and ask another friend to wake me up. Anyway, big thx to them.


1.1.2012,4am departed to Bukit Kinrara, Puchong, even is new year, but still got many running enthusiastic joined this event on new year. From UPNM, we are around 30 athletes joined the event, I’m only the girl. This Bukit Kinrara really very difficult to run, go up hill and then go down hill again, wa, don’t know how many hills, make me tired only.


Before the day of event, I found that no more power gel for me, so to prevent cramp on my legs, I drank 1 sachet of Hycoflex before I slept and 1 sachet before the race. Hycoflex such an amazing product can make you more energetic. Tell you one thing, when I ran Penang Bridge International Marathon for 21km, I cramp on ¾ way to finishing line, but what is surprise after I test this product is, I didn’t cramp at all for the whole 25km. Sum more this is a hill course running. I bought 2 power gels on the spot before start the event, and I fed myself 2 power gels for the whole 25km. Power gel just will give you energy but won’t prevent you from cramp. 

 Here comes the goodies of Newton Run…the timing chip on my shoe, my shoes not included nah…

Alright, I saw so many photographers taking photos beside the road, I smile so that can get a nice picture. Just wonder why so many photographers willing to “on work” during new year, sumore they are just as a volunteer to take photos then share their valuable photos on facebook, so that everybody can tag or download themselves, included me. Not an easy work, but they know what a runner’s need, very admire them actually, solute to them. If don’t have the photographers, runners also run without feeling, cannot smile when reach to the finishing line, haha. They taking picture of runners also type of encouragement, let runners smile to the end. I completed Newton New Year Challenge 2011 25km with 2:43hrs, got improve a little bit and can improve more in future.



My result online….
Official Timing:2:44:52                                                                                                                    Net Time :2:43:25                                                                                                      Men Open Category: ranking 217/523                                               
 Women Open Category: ranking 21/99 

The organizer make a big mistake, he wrongly put my name for Men Open Category, haha..So, the result also compete with guys lo. I compare my timing in the result list of women open category, I’m ranking 21, ok what.

Trophy for the event..Very nice.

During the prize giving ceremony, I took photos in front the podium. Suddenly got one guy come and greet me, I stared at him at the second as I can’t really recognize him. Owh, we met again. He is the one I mentioned in my Standard Charted KL Marathon Run 2011. Last year, we met in my 1st marathon. Then I also forget his name and he forget my name too. So, we shake hand and ask name of each other again, what a funny situation. So nice, we met again on new year. After go back, just realize that, forget to take his phone number and facebook as well, haha, just see la, fate will make us meet again. The next day, I saw his name add me on FB, 1st I think, eih, is it him, quite a surprise trick ah, he add me just by knowing my name. Haha, so now just keep in touch with him. As I always say, FB make the world become smaller, we can know each other from any edge of world just by online. That’s great.


After come back from event, treat myself Kueteow Sup Letup, I don’t know what’s the special for this sup, just like nothing special for me only, haha, and still hungry after one packet. And I thought wanted to sleep for 2 or 3 hours only, after that need to study as the final exam starts after 2 days of the event. But I tired until cannot open my eyes, at last slept 5 hours in the evening. Was the 1st time slept so long in the evening. But still blur blur after wake up.  Just read one chaper, then 12pm sleep again. Wa, really whole day didn’t touch my book at all, started worry. I just use one day to study for my 1st paper, Basic Electronic Technology. Now, I’m doing my final exam for 1st sem of degree. Good Luck to all who are taking exams now too.

What you plan for year 2012? Try to do something different. As the news reported the end of the world is in 2012, so be prepared la, haha, we live together, let’s die also together. I start to list down my plan of year 2012 and had a 25km run as a kick start of this year. Happy New Year to everybody and wish this year will be a good year. As New year just over, means that Chinese New Year is coming soon, I’m looking for it.. Yeah..  ^.^
