When : 13/11/2011
Where : Sri Manjung, Perak.
What : 11km run + 64km bike + 10km run

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.

Powerman 2010 – Yet another PB

1 year ago

by fairul in Duathlon, Sports

Venue : Sri Manjung, Lumut, Perak.
Date : 14 November 2010
Distance : 11km run + 64km cycling + 10km run

This year’s Powerman, i came with a target in mind. It’s to qualify within the 5hrs given time(getting the finisher’s T-Shirt off course), thus a PB for me.

Depart from KL a bit late, around 2:30pm, waiting for my friend Bedul(Shahrudisah) for his company training. The journey was accompanied with hot weather, but went smoothly. Arrived at Sri Manjung around 6:30pm, we went straight checking out the cycling route since this is Bedul’s 1st Powerman.

Reached Lumut Valley(our accommodation) around 7:30pm. It’s an apartment with 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms. Quite spacey and comfortable, worth the money since we r sharing it with 5 persons.

Went for dinner at KFC Lumut, surprised with a long queue there. Well, its a Saturday nite I like Lumut very much. It’s a small town, with a small jetty for tourist going to P. Pangkor. Unique, clean, friendly folks, not crowded, peace and i love to be there. Still remember last year’s Powerman, went for evening teh tarik at a stall by the jetty, on the evening after doing the Powerman, so relaxing…

Went back to apt, did my final prep for tomorrow’s race. Race bibs, bicycle, tri-suit, running & bike shoes, endurance drink, etc… Slept at 11.00pm.

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

SYABAS KALIAN!!!
