Manjung people said, it was raining season there for the last 2-3 weeks. But it’s turned to be scorching hot on the event day!!! No rain even in the early morning before the event. The heat was as same as 2 years ago where i did my first Powerman.

My unofficial timing was 4:33… and it’s a PB ALhamdulillah.. that’s a bonus for me.. a big achievement for my hard work. Next year, of course will try a new PB again

The rewards, a nice medal and a Brooks finisher's t-shirt

For me, the medal & finisher’s T is secondary. The most important thing to me is the enjoyment of the gathering with my sports friends & doing what like together.

As usual, our RV place is at Kuala Kubu Bahru 7 Eleven. Pre-ride briefing was given by Kadok.

We started the trip at 8.30am. A lot of first timer doing Fraser’s Hill. Including two small girls, 11 & 12 years old. They made it to the top of Fraser’s Hill. Respect for their strength & determination!

For me, i’m doing this ride as a training for my upcoming Powerman in November. So, along the way up, i tried to use heavier gear to strengthen my legs.

Last Saturday Hulu Langat ride really helps. I had no problem conquering Fraser’s Hill this time. Did well in the last 8km of steep climb between Gap – Fraser.

Our first pit stop to catch some breath

Reached Gap, but the food stall closed, while we were craving for iced milo & mee hoon soup

All this while, i'm craving for this, nasi lemak! Thanks Napi for the tasty home made nasi lemak. Indescribable feeling having nasi lemak at a cold place like Fraser after a bike ride

Alang, Hakim & Halil

Basikal budak2 yg cute2

Biras & abg ipar aku yg cool

Group photo sebelum race

Event ni aku tak bawak anak aku masuk, tp aku pegi nak kasi support kat anak buah aku, Hakim yg amik bahagian, sambil2 jadi photographer.

Pagi2 kul 7am Halil(biras aku, bapanya Hakim) dah amik aku kat Melawati. Aku, Halil, Hakim & Alang gerak ke Cyberjaya.

Sampai kat sana, terus amik basikal, terus letak kat transition area. Ramai juga budak2 yg masuk. Kemudian, race briefing oleh race director En. Azwar yg amat berdedikasi.

Comel adik ni posing bila nampak aku point camera kat dia

Hakim sempat bergambar ngan kedua2 anakanda Raja Permaisuri Agong

Kasih seorang ibu...

Race ini dimeriahkan lagi dgn kehadiran Seri Paduka Baginda Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Nur Zahirah di mana dua anaknya mengambil bahagian dalam Trikidz ini. Konvoy baginda tiba setelah pelepasan Kategori A berlangsung.

Anak buah aku Hakim berada di dlm kategori B. Seronok jugak tengok budak2 ambil bahagian dlm acara duathlon ni. Comel jer. Semasa berlepas tu, semua lari mcm tak cukup tanah. Laju jer masing2. Dlm ramai2 tgh dash tu ada jugak yg terjatuh. Bila dah sampai separuh jalan, masing2 dah nampak penat, ada yg dah jln berlenggang-kangkong lagi, siap borak2 ngan member. Bila suruh lari, kata dah penat. Hahaha.. kelakar betul budak2 ni. Tadi bukan main laju lagi.

Ada pulak sorang peserta ni, basikal lebih besar dari badan, bawak pun mcm Suparman dah. Handle nyer oversized, dah mcm bawak motor chopper pon ada. Tapi jgn mahin2, laju tuuuu… perghhh dasat2 budak2 ni. Bleh jadi pelapis triathlete negara nanti ni.

Adik ni kayuh basikal dah mcm Superman

Hakim menamatkan perlumbaannya

Semasa nak sampai transition area tu, ada jugak yg eksiden berlaga basikal, berlaga ngan org pon ada. Ada jugak yg brek pakai kaki walaupon ada brek tangan. Aisehhh… hehehe.

Masa kat garisan penamat, ada sorang ni dah nak nangis sbb dah terlalu penat, tp terpaksa jugak lari kerana dihambat oleh parents mereka. hehehe.. kesian ada, kelakar pon ada. Memang seronok.

Ada juga acara untuk parents iaitu acara relay team, run-bike-run.

Ehh.. hakim jgn duduk situ, tu tpt permaisuri agong!

Azwar, race director yg amat berdedikasi

Keberangkatan pulang Raja Permaisuri Agong

Duathlon dah settle, lepas ni triathlon plak yer Hakim

SYABAS KALIAN!!!

Pagi ni datang awal sket… nak book parking belakang Kelab Selangor. Sampai2 jer, dpt parking. Naik atas divider. Sempat tido se round dulu.. heheehhe.

Bangun kul 7.15am. Alamak, lom warm-up lagi. Gi warm-up lebih kurang, terus pegi ke starting area. Sambil2 tu mencari En. Halil(biras aku), nak pass running pouch kat dia, tak jumpa plak.

Race start tepat pukul 7.30am. Route mcm route 10k yg biasa digunakan dlm race2 lepas (Siemens Run, Power Run). Larian kali ni aku cuba push laju sket. Terutama skali kat section bukit di Bukit Tunku & Jln Duta depan Lembaga Peperiksaan. Bleh tahan gak, improved dari dulu. Kalu tak dulu situ ler tpt aku pancit.

Habiskan larian dlm kurang sejam (58min camtu). Tgh2 lepak minum air Milo, ternampak En. Halil. Aku ingat dia dah surrender tak jadi lari. Lari jugak dia rupanya. Waa suspek lu lah bro! Welcome back to the arena. Lepas ni bleh lari lagi.

Lepak2, minum2, chit chat, amik gambar ngan geng Slowmovers & chalooo…

Sekian report kali ni. Jumpa next week di Larian Menuju Puncak (Towerthon).

Hari ni aku pegi lagi training cycling. Tp kali ni ngan 2 member aku. Sorang ni baru jer join.

RV kat Bt 14. Started at 8am. Kitorang kayuh pelan2. Sampai IKBN, aku berenti jap amik gambar, sementara tunggu member aku sampai.

Wap air panas yg keluar dari dasar sungai.

Sambung ride. Sampai Bt. 18 plak. Aku stop dulu, tunggu member2 aku yg kat belakang td. Sambil tu layan gambar dulu.

Flat design mcm kat Cameron Highlands.

Simpang di Bt 18

Tgh berpoyo-poyo

Baru 7.39km

Member2 aku pon sampai

Signboards...

Kat sini kitorang tukar2 basikal. Member aku tak larat nak kayuh mountain bike. Biler dpt bike, terus berdesup dia ke depan… hehhehe.
Aku follow dr belakang jadi sweeper plak. Akhirnya sampai Sg. Congkak. Kitorang stop sini, lepak2 tengok org mandi, sblm berpatah balik ke Bt 14. Layan gambar sketttt…

Keindahan & kedamaian di Sg. Chongkak

Dah lepak2 tu, kitorang sambung perjalanan patah balik ke Bt. 14. Kali ni tak sampai Pangsun. Maybe next time.

Perjalanan ke Bt. 14 lebih senang. Menurun bukit. Singgah sebentar di kolam air panas depan IKBN. Rendam2 kaki jap, pastu teruskan ride.

Kerja2 merendam kaki sedang dijalankan

Pemandangan di kolam air panas IKBN

Sampai di Bt 14 lebih kurang 11am. Melantak tak hingat di warung traffic light corner & break convoy. Nice ride guys.

Hari ni aku training cycling sorang2 kat Ulu Langat, without my usual cycling mate. Kul 8.30am aku sampai di Pekan Bt. 14 Ulu Langat. Cuaca redup.

Aku kayuh slow2 jer ari tu sbb dah lama tak cycling. No pressure. Nak dekat2 sampai Pangsun tu, kepala aku mula dah berpinar. Dari tadi tak minum air sbb lupa bawak air. Adehhh.

Sampai jer bus stop kat Pangsun tu, aku cepat2 parking bicycle aku. Terus duduk kat bus stop tu, picit2 kepala. Rasa nak pitam pon ada. Aku terus berdiri jln mundar mandir sambil picit kepala. Finally lega jugak sakit kepala aku.

Rest jap ambik angin. Pastu sambung balik ride, patah balik ke Bt. 14.

Ni gambar2 yg aku sempat amik.

Jalan terus ke Empangan Ulu Langat

Jalan terus lagi ke Gunung Nuang
