Before event
BHR Padawan Nature Challenge let me reach Sarawak without planning. Ok, allow me to share about the event 1st. 3 July 2011, I joined my 4th endurance event in this year, it’s a jungle trekking for 10km.This category is just jungle trekking with a partner, we need work in pair. This event is not under UPNM, but my partner also introduced by our endurance club’s lecturer. Who is my partner leh? I also don’t even know who she is. Just one day when I was having class, I wonder why the same strange number keep phone me, is it got any emergency, make me scare, I know that person maybe need me seriously. Well, that day I planned to go for running training, cancelled my plan when receive her phone call at that time. She named Eila, she come from Langkawi,her ages almost reach 30.she talked a lot with me about her plan and she want to find me as her partner as she can’t take part without a partner. She was a national athlete trainer and had been rest in sports almost 1 year if not mistaken. Then, I’m a soft-hearted person, wanted to go Sarawak, seems like that event very interesting, wanna have a look.
My mum also very worried about how my partner will be, because we don’t know that person at all.. Then I gave my mum her phone number, let her talk to my mum. I already not going for jungle trekking for a long time, then my partner promise my mum will take care of me…Sometimes, not because of I’m innocent, but I just wanna try to believe everybody. At 1st,she say she will find sponsorship for our event, maybe to buy shoes, and flight tickets. But at last, she can’t find any sponsorship on our event, and my mum need to bank in my flight tickets fees to her. So, this
Sarawak trip i need to enjoy it very very much, as a trip. Before I see her, she talked very confidently that our group “Eagle Worrior” can win. Then I just think that maybe if we win 1st prize cash, can cover back my flight tickets. I’m a person like to imagine over, so if you cannot do it, please don’t let me know your hope.
“You can put hope on me, but please don’t give hope to me if you don’t think you can do it”.
Event day
On the event day, fuyoh, the scenery is damn awesome, our venue was at Borneo Highlands Resort
the real image taken by by phone..at the top of Borneo highlands resort..
Me and my partner is the only group come from West Malaysia. The event started, I’m staying in a good condition, control my breathing, keep on thinking on jungle trekking tips. Sarawak is well-known with high and steep mountain. Wow, it’s totally difficult to go for 10km, the trek is steep and slippery. I hanging a bag that contain waters and some supplements inside.After 3km,my partner felt like no more energy, then she drank Kak Cik Fatimah that I bring along with me and give her water, rest a while and walk back again. After another kilometer, she felt that her legs are pain, then, I still help her massage her legs with medicated oil. Luckily I’m still maintain my stamina and power, I can’t leave her alone behind, because she is my partner. Fine, I just tell her some jungle trekking tips that flow in my mind, should be helpful for her. As she promise to my mum that she will take care of me and will help me in whatever condition, but in the real event, seems like I help her more. BUT I cannot blame her at all, maybe because she already rest in sports events for almost 1 year ,I just can say I already know how to protect myself. Drank Power Gel and help her massage her legs for many times, she praised my massage skill, she said nice, haha, I don’t know, maybe I have been practiced to massage my legs everytime I came back from training or marathon, all just follow my feeling.At the last 2 km, coincidently rain fall,the
trek become more slippery,huh….we slip down every step we stamp, was too hard to cross the place.Got few guys help us to cross the trek, until the last checkpoint,we run and run and run to the finishing point. We get no.6,we use 3hrs to go for 10km,can you imagine how hard to walk in the jungle?haha.
Well,no.6 can get rm 100 cash, then I get rm50 and my partner get rm50.So disappointed was pass by the trophy and more cash.
Next time will try to get it….I just can take this Sarawak trip as my holiday trip, enjoy it and very proud to join this programme. Through the event, I get to know some of the stuff from military background, got chat with them and seems like they wanna bring me enter Endurance Club ATM, was so shocked to hear that, maybe I’m not yet reach that level la. One is Heidilee Mohammad,when I view his fb profile,just get to know he is inside Malaysia Book Of Record.you can refer on fb (Malaysia Longest Distance Cycling by Duo).
