7th Putrajaya International Ekiden Run 2012

~ 7^th Putrajaya International Ekiden Run 2012 ~

The next day after last leg of MUDS 2012, I have been sign up for 7^th Putrajaya International Ekiden Run 2012. I remembered that 6^th Putrajaya International Ekiden Run 2011 was the 1^st event I went after I joined Endurance Club UPNM last year. It has been one year already I joined this club, 1^st anniversary I being a member in this club, always proud of it. In conjunction with the National Youth Day “Millions of Youth Gathering 2012” going on to attract millions of youngsters to support this festival, there are 500 activities held from 23-27 May 2012. One of the activities is 7^th Putrajaya International Ekiden Run, Ekiden Run is a run consists of 5 members to complete it, each of the member need to run around 3km.

~ We are on newspaper >>> Kosmo 28 May 2012 ~

This year, it held a day after MUDS, so like 2 events too near, got a little bit confuse on the race. In my team, 4 juniors and I, we still finding a member that can be replaced someone at 3am. I want to sleep but need to find another person to be in one team, so I slept when they told me is settled. Just slept for 2hours, then prepare to go to Putrajaya. From Sungai Besi to Putrajaya, the only public transport can reached is ERL, but still have to take teksi to go to inside of Putrajaya. So, to solve my transport problem, I ask my senior --- Low Sifu to fetch us there, my teammates were followed along. Then Amir’s car was departed together too. I said to them gathered at 0540H, but we departed from UPNM at 0645H, a “good” job right? I don’t know where their punctuality is. When reached Putrajaya, can’t find the road to Istana Kehakiman, round and round in Putrajaya around half an hour. Seniors calling made us more anxious, we were late.

 ~ My teammates ~

Around 0850H, just found the place, then quickly take my bib no from my teammates and find my bus to go on. Ekiden run divided into 5 runners, so each of the runner need to find their bus to reach their place according to their alphabet, A,B,C,D and E as well. I experienced this last year, everybody rushing finding buses. My teammates were 1^st time to this event, I told them to find the bus match to your alphabet, they can’t find it. When I reached my place, still get the call said “Saya tak dapat naik bas lagi” haha. It seems interesting, but lastly and luckily, they found their buses. I’m runner E, so have time to warm up. The race started at 0800H, Asmidar as runner A don’t have enough time to warm up maybe, but she able to pass the baton to runner B at placing no.2.Ya, keep it well. When the baton passed to me, was in placing no.4, then I run and took over one woman, so my team get placing no.3 in Women Open Category. Total distance is 14.3km, we completed it with 1:13:40. Team UPNM did it very good, UPNM sent 5 teams. For Men Open Category, UPNM get placing no.2, no.4, no.9 and no.11, while team ladies UPNM get placing no.3 in Women Open Category.

 ~ Our Result ~

When waiting the prize giving ceremony, coincidently Mr.Tey who are a sport cameraman standing in front of me, then he said to me: “You already like a season runner dy huh.” haha, maybe he saw my face always pop up from his camera. Ya, I used to download race photos from his album, he snap a lot of photos every race. Really thanks on his volunteer to take so many photos. When I’m standing in front to get the prize, looking so many medias in front of us to take photos, suddenly one man said to me: “ Semalam yang masuk MUDS ek? I answered yes, he just thumbed up saying good to me. Wa, maybe joined too many games recently, people started to recognize me already. As lately, I race continuously for 4 weekends, no wonder why people can recognize me la. And soon, coming this Sunday, going to Putrajaya Urban Adventure Challenge 2012 at Putrajaya. My job is just non-stop of training to get myself super duper fit  J.

~ The prizes I get ~

As this month is my full training month, so eating also can’t be save money, gears also cannot save, topup handset and some supplements that cannot lack of. Without knowing, I spent around RM600 in this month, really wanna bankrupt already. So, seems next week is the study week and my final exam of sem 2 in 1^st year Degree is just around the corner. So, I’m gonna rest for a while on games and focus on my final exam, at the same time can save money for games. Study week or can known as holiday week for me, my mom asked me to go home, she want to see how black I’m. In real, I really turned dark a lot, how to get back my fair skin J. Already 2months I didn’t go home, I want to go back sleep on my bed, meet my old friends and feels the life free of military lifestyle. The main point is go back hometown to enjoy delicious food la, I don’t want to eat curry chicken everyday like in UPNM. Looking forward for my study week J

3rd Leg of MUDS 2012

~ Starting Line in UPNM ~

1^st Leg of MUDS and 2^nd Leg of MUDS already over, here comes 3^rd Leg of MUDS. 26 May 2012, it was a sleepless day for me, I can’t sleep on that evening even I’m quite tired after race, don’t know why. Last leg of Malakoff University Duathlon Series 2012 (MUDS) just ended. It was hold at UPNM, is my home ground, but I didn’t manage to change the fate for my University. UPNM as the host for last leg of MUDS, for sure we need to prepare the best for this event. As we done the venue setup planning for this event very early, so that Tarmizi, Bukhari and I no need to worry about it last minute, we just focused on our game, while Sport Department UPNM would settled all the setup. Just the day before big day, I settled the last problem, stalls problem. At 1^st, I reserved 17 stalls to let whoever wish to open stalls, but at last minutes, just got 8 stalls turned on, haha, what a goodness job, luckily didn’t cause a big problem on the big day. Thanks for those supported and opened stalls on that day, it made the event more interesting. 

 ~ Preparation for MUDS in UPNM~

On the real day, 0630H, I went to do last confirm about the setup and stalls. Everything went on smoothly, 70 marshals reported to Sport Department to help out in this event. Around 8am, seems like nothing big happen, so I also went for warm up session to prepare the race. I admit that I wish I can get the title Duathlete of the Year before 1^st Leg of MUDS, because my friend can get the prize easily with not so many challengers last year. But this year, with the appearance of a good cyclist, Lydia Tan, I didn’t put the hope on it anymore after seeing she joined 2^nd Leg of MUDS as well. Before 1^st Leg of MUDS, I got trunk on the training few times, because sometimes really felt very tired. But after her winning in 1^st Leg of MUDS, I recover myself very fast and turned on to training every morning and evening without any excuse, even when cadets got parade or training been cancelled, I also went for training by myself, I did interval running training to improve myself. Interval training really can makes you improve faster, I felt shocked when I did it. Actually the title not so important for me, but it is important for our University. To protect and to defend our winning, we need to do well. To calm down myself, I always said, Lydia Tan won’t come to 3^rd Leg of MUDS, haha, that just to let myself feels relief if she absent in the race. But that was just a statement of day dreaming.

~ Cheer Leaders Team. Their dancing ok ok only la, maybe not enough preparation. With my Sony Ericson c902, can shoot this kind of photo, awesome J ~

0830H, when I walked to Dataran Wawasan to have a senam robik session, I saw Lydia Tan rushed by holding her bike along ran enter the transition area, maybe she reached here late. From that moment, I knew I’m no hope on holding Duathlete of the Year’s trophy anymore, my dream fly away just like that. { When you want to develop your courage to chase a dream, it needs 1year, but a dream can disappear in your mind just within 1 second}. Well, race started, I ran with normal pace to maintain my stamina. In UPNM, I most hate the run course, a hilly run course, again, Lydia Tan took over me when ran up to the hill. I make sure she was always in my sight, finally, I ran in transition area together with her.  Last 2 series, she was very far in front of me during 1^st run, but this time, at least I took the bike same time with her. She is a pro cyclist, how I gonna chase after her, I’m still new with cycling. Haha. In UPNM, we did 3km Run- 13.8km Bike- 3km Run. 3loops of cycling, I just get drafting behind my pacer during the 2^nd loop, 1^st loop and 3^rd were failed to follow. When people helped me to break wave, I felt so easy to ride, but felt hard to my pacer, haha. Really feels appreciate to my pacer, he willing to help me for all 3 series, he get nothing by the way. If not him, I don’t know how I want to finish 3 series of races. When came to 2^nd run, suddenly mental down, felt like don’t want to continue my run anymore, but with the jersey of UPNM, I continue it and try to find my mood. At last, I finished my race 3 mins behind Lydia Tan.

 ~ Me and Woman Duathlete of the Year 2012 -Lydia Tan ~

Actually 90% of marshals are my batch mates, some more most of them are my classmates, when I running along the route, always heard of my name “Yong Le, cepat, cepat” haha, thanks anyway for support me. When I was cycling, I saw an accident, got one girl fall down from bike, looking Ma’am Hurbertina helping that girl to beside the road while Tn. Kausar was there to control the traffic, that scene was touched my heart. In sport or during race, we are not just talking about winning or placing, it consist also sportsmanship and kind hearted. I respect them whom did it. Ma’am Herbertina can stop her bike and do a favor to that girl, while Tn. Kausar didn’t mind his seniority, he also stopped his bike and control the cyclists and cars. That moment, everybody slowed down their bike and ride more carefully. That time, I saw Lydia Tan already very far ahead from me, after few seconds blanked in my mind, I remind myself, UPNM still need me, then I continue focus on my race. That’s why I’m 3mins behind Lydia Tan. After Ma’am and Tn. Kausar helped out the girl, they continue their race until the finishing line. Tn. Kausar still able to finish the race with good timing compare to other runners. While Ma’am Hurbertina, as a woman who interested in endurance sport, she able to finish her race even she was the only one still on the way to finishing line. She was the last people came in to the finishing line, but she is a finisher and she did help people during her race, that’s what I respect to.

~ My pacer --- Tn. Qayyum ~

During a race, don’t be stingy about your generous hand, do offer help to people who really need our help. I got received a lot of help during my race before this, so I know the feeling of help wanted. Anyway, topic back to MUDS, I’m so glad that I didn’t gave up in my race, and I didn’t stopped and rest during my race for all 3 series. Maybe just can say no.1 is not my fate, since primary school. For all 3 series, placing no.1, no.2 and no.3 in Women University Category is the same people. I looked back result of last year, my timing is better than timing of placing no.1 last year. Even I can’t get no.1 this year, but, I think I’m a finisher is already an unbelievable case for myself, I already brake my own record. Before this, I’m just a runner, now I upgraded to become a du-athlete already. When want to become tri-athlete? The answer will be: When the day I can swim J. For this event, at 1^st , I thought I can come out with one new statement : I’m one of the manager for team UPNM, I’m one of the planner for UPNM, and I’m also the winner. But now should change it to: I’m a manager, I’m a planner, and I’m a loser J

 ~ Woman University Category, with the word from Vice Counselor UPNM, “congratulations, very good”.

Ain become student UPNM for one day.haha~

~ Duathlete of The Year --- Lim Shimri and Lydia Tan ~

As this was the last leg of MUDS 2012, it comes to a conclusion for MUDS. Sport Department UPNM had a nice plan, got War Dance Show and Cheer Leaders team. As our expectation, continue from last year, UPNM get Top University Award with biggest contingent and Best University Award with highest marks this year as well. Lim Shimri also make us proud of him, he get the Men Duathlete of the Year 2012. And so, Men University Category from top1-5 also from UPNM, Mixed Relay Category as well. Here can view the result >>> Result MUDS UPNM. I think just Women University Category not be defended in a right way. We unable to bring back all 4 trophies, many people must be feels disappointed, really very sorry. Actually placing no.2 want to say as win or lose leh?

~ My bicycle under maintenance, after 2 series of MUDS, just noticed that my bike got problem, the brake is too near to my tire, it cause me ride slow is it, very hard to ride on it? Hehe, and tire was “gelong”, then Mizi just helped me to change another rim. I always ride on a bike got problem, but how could I don’t know leh…is too late to know it.. if not, my fate will change…? ~

I noticed that my FB almost want to explode already, full of photos tagged on my wall and also after MUDS, everyday got many friend requests, around 5 requests in a day. How I gonna accept the people I don’t know leh, at least they should introduce themselves 1^st, then I will just accept la J Here comes to the end of MUDS 2012, so I snapped many photos to keep this in my memory. Finally, need to thanks to Malakoff as Main Sponsor, Power Bar and Nestle as sponsors, to Quick ReleaseAdventures as the organizer, to Endurance Club UPNM for letting me manage this event, to Sport Department UPNM for help us a lot, to Sir Ananthan for help us a lot, to Staf Jasmi as a coach for our club, and to all members of club for the co-operation. From this event, I learned a lot. Thanks everyone. Anyway, I enjoyed the race and I enjoyed training together with 80 people from UPNM.

2nd Leg of MUDS 2012 – UPM

~ Have You register? ~

After 1^st Leg of MUDS 2012 at UM on 12 May 2012, today I have completed 2^nd Leg of MUDS 2012 at UPM. Just for about half months, I drink recovery drink twice a day, now just left half tab, I think one tab just enough to used for MUDS. But, it really help me a lot, recover my muscle faster and let me went through all the training smoothly. 19 May 2012, was a sunny day, 6am waited at Mess Cadet. This week, buses from HEPA used for other activities, so we just got one bus from HEPA and 4 units of 3 tan to carry all of us, total of 79 participants, 58 bicycles and other needs. This week is the 2^nd week of MUDS, so everything went on smoothly and luckily none of emergency happened. Juniors did very well, they helped to put all the bicycles up to the 3tan before we ask them to do, good move. Today, 7am I moved to UPM by bus, together with 38participants, while Mizi organized at the other side for their bikes with juniors. We reached quite early at UPM. We warmed up and stretching on the run track of UPM.

~ UPNM was on STAR newspaper on 17 May 2012 ~

Sharp at 9am, race started, I’m so scared people overtake me, but people still overtook me, haha. At UPM, 3km run- 13km bike- 3km run, really quite difficult, but the bike course more easier than UM, this was made me more relief. My cycling too weak and too slow, my guider always beside me and ask me to go faster, he must be never thinking of my slow level can be worse like that, haha. Since I try on bike, my running pace also become slower already, how come? So many challengers in my category, Lydia Tan from Queenstown Resort College (Winner for 1^st leg of MUDS) overtook me during 1^st run and Ain from IIUM (2^nd runner-up in 1^st leg of MUDS) overtook me during cycling, wah…I can’t do anything with that. Thinking of protect the name of UPNM, after I put down my bike at transition area, I quickly went for my 2^nd run. About 1.5km of my 2^nd run, I saw Lydia Tan already ran back to the finishing line, while Ain still in my sight in front of me. I don’t want to get no.3, I want to get at least no.2, so, I maintained my run pace and slowly took over Ain. Then I ran non-stop to keep myself maintained speed until the finishing line. Yeah, I did it, I get placing no.2 in Women University Category with timing 0:52:52, just a little bit far behind after Lydia Tan. I get placing no.2, make everybody disappointed. Felt so sorry, but I already did my best, I didn’t miss out any training neither morning nor evening, but still cannot catch up with the winner, so sad. When everybody asked me my result, they will ask: “Teh, no. berapa, no.1?” or “Teh, menang?” They thought I can do very well, but I not able to achieve their fulfillment.If you ask me win or not, then I will answer you “ I didn’t win”, because if you are not the champion, then considered as a loser. However, you are still behind a person.

Is it I need to do more and more training to improve my stamina? Ok, I will do. Compare to last week at UM, the winner not in my sight, was too far from me. In the timing result, I’m 6 minutes behind her while Ain was 3minutes behind me. But this week, I’m so happy because Lydia Tan still in my sight, I’m 3 minutes behind her while Ain was 3mintues behind me. This actually showed I’m improved from last week, so means my effort on my training quite useful. Anyway, I get placing no.2 in Women University category was a truth and so, I will put more effort on my training after this. During prize-giving ceremony, very pleased to see most of the winners also from UPNM. UPNM became winner for all categories except Women University Category. <Results>

After the race yesterday, I gave postmortem to all club members, skip the important points, for the conclusion, I gave them a sentence that I read on an article of a successful athlete. I found this sentence very meaningful, that’s why I shared to them. Seriousness of an athlete on their training can show a good result on the competition day. Hope UPNM’s athletes also can do so. Thank You.

1st Leg of MUDS 2012 – UM

~UPNM Contingent ~

Finally 1^st leg of Malakoff University Duathlon Series (MUDS) is here. On 12 May 2012, I woke up very early, looking at outside, it was raining, oh no, how we want to cycle under this situation. 0630H gathered at Wisma Pegawai Kadet. Arrival of 3tan and bus to bring all the bicycles and participants to MUDS. That day, no more bus for us, we just get one bus and 4units of 3tan, military style, haha. We are all together 80people plus 64units of bicycles, heading to UM full with military style, 4 units of 3 tan follows by one bus.

 ~ Smart or not? J ~

Tarmizi, Bukhari and me as the manager to 80 people, ratio 3 : 80, very tired to handle all of them if they didn’t give co-operation. Luckily with help with team mates of my intake: Afifudin, Amir Hadi, Amir Nasir and Lim, and co-operation from all participants, everything went on smoothly. What a relief when see that the situation is under control early in the morning, luckily no urgent thing pop up last minute, nothing we miss out, no angry sound  and maybe nothing big case went on, so everybody departed to UM in good mood, well-prepared for MUDS 2012. This is what I wish to see, and I saw it, really very happy with everything, and juniors also very helpful, they automatically sent the bikes up to 3 tans before I asked them to do, not bad la, they know what they need to help. Thanks.

 ~ Walking into transition area.~

Because of too many people in this game, so we need to use military style, baris to calculate the strength of present participants. Ok, enough people, luckily nobody left behind and nobody woke up late. Alright, when reach UM, everybody must be very blur why got so many military truck inside UM, haha. Walking in to the transition area, started to feel the mood of game. Gear in of bicycles, and UPNM participants always make MUDS situation more greater. This is a big event, Men Open category got a very challenging compete between participants. Actually, this event involved of Malaysian, Australian and other nationality. Besides, international athletes also came and support in this game, make MUDS 2012 more competitive.

 ~ Race started ~

Well, the game started at 0900H, luckily no more raining. I stand quite in front at the starting line, Tn. Qayyum guided me along the race. He brought me so that I won’t give up easily in this game. He always encourage me to go faster and faster, I noticed that I can’t ran fast, don’t know why, I just maintained steady pace to run, because I need to maintain my stamina to cycle and run back again. This was my 1^st time took part in duathlon event. I’m scared when people overtake me. I always look around, notice either got any woman with my same category or not. Got one lady took over me during the 1t run. Ok, 1^st run of 3km was over, then straight continue with 11.4km cycle. UM bike course is really very challenging, it was a steep hilly course for whole 11.4km. I cycled up to the hill and saw the steepness, oh my god. Some more need to do 2 loops of bike course leh. Really thinking of want to come down from the bike and push the bike along the journey. But I’m wearing UPNM’s jersey, so I just carry on with whatever energy and power I got la. Looking of so many people walked and push their bike, I felt so relief, at least I’m better than them. When I climbed out to the hill, few of my team mates from UPNM cheer for me:” TEH, come on. TEH, cepat.” Very happy when heard people cheer for me. On the bicycle, I try to drink water, but when I drink water, the speed become very slow. Hehe, still don’t know how to control bicycle when drinking.

 ~ Smart or Nice? J ~

When I came down from the hill, and heading 200m to transition area, got one lady from University Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIA) took over me, wow, she was so fast, make me shocked. I faster change my mood and ride faster, 100m before getting into transition area, I took over her again, then with fastest move, I threw my helmet on floor and straight ran out from transition area and continue my 2^nd run. I’m so scared if she take over me again. Luckily, I ran faster a little bit and has a gap longer distance with her. I ran back to the finishing line. Argh…. finally finish the race, really very not easy to complete this game. 3km run – 11.4km cycle – 3km run, takes me 1:11:57 to complete it. I felt alright after the game. For my cycling, max speed just hit 49.7km/h only, very slow leh, others at least 50km/h. For the whole journey, I just consumed 1 power gel before start the race. After this should consume 2 power gel, to make me stronger. I get placing no.2 in Woman University Category, satisfied with it. Congratulations to Lydia, who are the winner for this category, just knew that she is from Ipoh Cycling Club, and studying in New Zealand currently, now she coming back here just for holiday. She was quite sporting, we shake hand and she told me that: “You ride very fast, very good, you are chasing behind me.” J When someone said like that, may help me to get higher confident, ya, I will do more training and perform well in next 2 series. No. 3 belongs to Fatin from UIA. She is also one of my challenger, waiting to compete with her next week. Hope will be good. Actually they aimed me to get no.1 in this category, but I disappointed them, felt so sorry. Hope myself can do better in next series.

 ~ Tn. Qayyum, he guided me along the journey, Thanks. J ~

 ~ With POLYGON HELIOS 100, I get faster..Yeah..Thanks.~

As I said this is a popular event, so many media also present in this event, included TV3, metro, Malaysia Cycling Magazine and many more. After this, you may search on newspaper or TV, will got news about MUDS 2012.
