Pikom Charity Run 2011

9 OCT 2011, a nice Sunday, I present myself in Pikom charity Run. I knew this event very early, but because of registration and transportation problems make me need to think twice before join the program, it’s really very trouble staying inside campus, always got something block and spoil my plan. Well, this time I overcome my problem with a nice way. Before 2 days of the race, Endurance Club’s coach, Physical Training Instructor (PTI), Staf Jasmi help a senior, Tn. Suhaime and I register at the registration centre. I feel very lucky to have such good person as my coach, not every people can do that. I paid RM30 for the registration fees and get a running vest.

The race is on Sunday, coincidently I need to go through PALAPES weekend training on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, a very tired day, training and activities from 6am to 8pm. Plus on Saturday during PALAPES training, we got Ujian Kecergasan Asas (UKA),incuded sit up test, larian 4x10m, Lompat Jauh, Mendagu and 2.4km run. After dinner, I faster clean up my things and calm down my mood, prepare for the race and sleep earlier.

Here started a new experience. We don’t have transport to go out from campus to LRT station,so me and the senior borrow the bicycle from Endurance Club. 6.30AM,we rush and cycled out to LRT Sungai Besi, we park our bicycle at mosque and tie it with rope. Actually I’m very scare if got something happen to the bicycle. When reach Sungai Besi, almost 7am already, the event start at 7.30am,are we can rush to there on time? Sitting inside the LRT with unstable feeling. Arrived at Station Masjid Jamek, straight run to Capsquare, Pikom ICT Mall.

 Before the race, we already run like hell to the venue, find out the place to put our luggage. After that, we put on our pin no and heading to starting line. Oh gosh, I haven’t warm up when I was standing in front of the starting line. I just take some time to warm up before flag off.

Wooo…wooo….the famous sound made by every participants in every race, the race started….I run on my way and my body condition quite good that day. The distance is 6.5km, the distance not too long to me, because I got training every evening lastly. I know how the condition of my body. The route is tough enough, a very high hill that challenge us. But I don’t know why, I didn’t feel tired and didn’t feel like want to stop down have a rest. Then I continue my way to the finishing line. Oh, finally reached, I completed my non-stop 6.5km’s run, I get placing no.7 for the women open category …

I pass by with the cash-prize, just get a finisher medal, so sad. On the other hand, my strong senior get placing no.4 in men open category, he got the opportunity to stand at the podium and received RM150 cash prize. 

If I got no.5, then I also can stand on the podium and receive cash prize already, haiz…maybe my hardwork still not enough, need to add somore oil. But is ok, I get new experience on that day and at least I’m doing charity because this is charity run ^.^ We also took many photos at there..is inside the album…

After  the run, we went to have nice breakfast. Then, Suhaime go to his way and I walked around in Masjid Jamek. I bought some daily use at Mydin then depart back to UPNM. Again by LRT to Sungai Besi. Then continue to cycle back to campus. Was my very 1^st 1^st time ride in and out from UPNM, very easy but funny. 1pm reached UPNM and have a while of rest.2pm onwards, I continue with my PALAPES training. Wa, nobody will feel my tiredness if you are not me. Haha. PALAPES training until 8pm. Rest and cool down my energetic body, massage to my legs. Quickly finish my homework and prepare my books. Why must prepare my books, no need rest? Hehe. Don’t forget oh, is Monday again on the other day, is a new week, it’s time to go to class….A very pack schedule on weekend, but I enjoy…Many events coming soon…collecting medal is my life…

NO PAIN,NO GAIN

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^st placing 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.

Around 1pm,we back to UPNM and take my rest….
