THREE O FIVE

Hand itchy want to write something here. It's been a while since I last came here, exactly 1 year since my last update and coincidently it was also the SCKLM! I just ran the same SCKLM last month! I didn't run much last year. Only total of 6 races. So what exactly happened after the SCKLM last year? PAR 13 I joined PAR relay. Teamed with Charmayne, Lucas, Cola and Eddy. They jio-ed me last minute to replace a friend. I ran 2nd leg and fuck, I did all out but only managed to do 4:18 pace. So slow! I can easily do sub-4 pace few years back! Haha, ok, things changed in few years! I grew older! Wind Runner team! PJ HM Then I joined the KL iconic race PJ HM and bonked half way. I planned to do 4:30 pace but end up 4:45. What a joker! Went home with empty hands. PJ HM - Trying hard to smile with puncit face GE Relay Then I joined Qiao Yun, Khairul, Teck Wai and Voon Leong for a relay in Klang. It was my only podium race in 2017, haha! Thanks to all my teammate. ...

I'm not sure why I joined this relay again and moreover I joined both series. I actually told everyone I was not going to run this relay after participating the 2014 one. That was also why I skipped it last year. 3km kinda race is not my cup of tea. I regretted immediately after I promised Teck Wai to join. At first I actually just promised to run series 1 but not sure why after running series 1, I asked the team if they still wanted me to run series 2. I regretted immediately after I asked! LOL. WTF was I thinking? As usual, I planned to take these relays easy. They were just part of the training for my SCKLM which was my goal race. But again, I knew I was lying to myself. I would never take them easy, in the end I would still run my 100%. My kinda take it easy was just merely I won't specifically train for them. Haha! Let's start with our series 1 podium photo Series 1 This time I teamed up with Angel , Guo Shen , William and Teck Wai . Wil, TW and I were kind...

I think if I said this October was the saddest month for our Malaysia running community, I think most of the people would agree. It was supposed to be my busiest racing month but end up I didn't get to run any races (only one 3km fun run in the end). All the races that I registered were either cancelled or postponed because of the stupid haze. One of the most important races for me, the SCKLM which was supposed to happen 2 weeks after my last race Cyberjaya Firefighter was cancelled too. Arggh... all my 16 weeks of hard work! SCKLM I'm not quite sure how I actually felt. I was actually not much affected by the cancellation compared to the others because I still have a goal race coming up in December so I don't think my effort and hard work are wasted but the sadness from the community spread like a disease. I was more or less affected by it. The SCKLM is one of the biggest running events in Malaysia. Many people deem it as their bread and butter race and some even set i...

The Mighty Awesome Team Our ParX Cari Brazil team members were originally picked by Shu Wei back in Jan/Feb after some discussion with Fabio and me. We locked down all 5 members including Fabio. The 4 guys Jing Jing (JJ), Ho Hoo Yeen (HYH), Fabio and I were quite similar standard with an "unknown" lady Adele. Adele was good but we didn't know she was so damn good at that time! A fter the team was confirmed, JJ and I started some serious training and friendly competitions. We stopped running for a few m onths already. If we didn't train, we would definitely be the culprit. Especially me, I couldn't even complete a single race nicely at that time. Most of the races I end up walking or doing super positive splits. Around Apr and May that time Adele started to shine already giving me more pressure. I had problem keeping up with Adele’s pace in the training! I didn't tell her, ha! I mean I could still keep up but it's not as easy as I thought. Uh oh d...

赛前 这次的比赛很多人参加，去年只有300队，今年1000队！Cari也出动了4队，很壮观下！所以难度大大增加。我这次也是参Pacemakers他们，去年拿第二，今年目标依旧是top 3，我个人目标为破PR。自从1月1号的Pacemaker Run后，弃权NB30，休息及锻炼了整5个月，不好好跑一次，妄为CariRunners和Pacemakers！哈哈！这次PM出4队： Team 1 (Mix): Ronnie, Stanley, Khoo, Casey, Michelle Team 2 (Men): Fauzan, 我, Wern Tien, Jack, Kei Meng Team 3 (Men): Fong Sang, Mei Mei, Jacky, Teck Sin, Kee Team 4 (Women): Fiona, Yin Huay, Ameba, Elaine, Mun Key 我这次的goal race其实是月底的Sundown马拉松，所以这阶段的训练都是针对马拉松的，没真正针对3km练习（意思是说针对训练的话成绩可能会更好 :P）。但这比赛刚好落在马拉松训练第一个taper周，短跑taper几天其实很够用了，所以基本上是在最佳状态！ 比赛当天 6:00am到达Putrajaya，怕路线有变所以开车去绕了一下，顺便也确定斜坡、转弯和怎么样跑tangent路线等等。和队友集合后上巴士就直达接棒区。Cari在这一站的有seven、yenny、elaine和annie，有seven在基本上都没有冷场，大家都是废话连篇的，哈哈。热身下，就等待比赛开始。 比赛正式开始 8点左右比赛开始，Jasni第一名到站！和第二名的距离很远下，陆续到站的我都不是很认识了，过了很久下才看见Ronnie以第七名姿态到站交布条给 Stanley。哇，这次1000多队果然不是搞笑的！弄到我更紧张！看了Stanley跑后，我就继续我的热身。热身的同时，看见cky，jack, victor陆续到站。Men Open 5分钟后开跑，以Fauzan的实力，应该不久也该到了。差不多了，Men Open第一名到站是Perlis UNIMAP的，看他交布条后等了蛮久下，第二名才到！哇，第二名相差这么远！哇靠，UNIMAP的拿定冠军了！然后第三和第四相继到站，还...

赛前 第一次参加Ekiden Relay。当时Ronnie问我要不要跑的时候，我抱着玩玩的心态，队友也不知道是谁，随便就答应了。后来知道队友是谁之后有点傻掉，个个来头不小，google下就可以知道他们很厉害，我在里面就好像一颗老鼠屎，很压力下。 经过几个星期的地狱式训练后，休息了2天，终于在昨天正式上场。这次Pacemakers出三队： Team 1: Ronnie, Stanley, Daniel, Casey, Georgina. Team 2: Wern Tien, Zi Shen, Syahidan, Yew Wei, Teck Sin. Team 3: Kelvin Ng, Datuk Yaziz, Adam, Ryan, Kee. 比赛当天 一大早坐Kelvin车去Putrajaya，6:15am抵达目的地。到了不久就看到WT, TS, YW和其他队队员，唯独Syahidan还没来。一切就绪后差不多7点要乘巴士离开到其他站等候了，还是看不见他的踪影。哇老爷，我还没见过他的面，他又是要接我棒的人，到时不认识要如何传棒？！早知道之前在家先google他的照片。现在要上巴士了，鸟了。最后不管三七二十一上了巴士，到时候看着办吧。各自到站后，briefing完毕就开始了。每个选手只跑3km，第一棒的选手估计大概10分钟就会到我们这里了。大家都在等待。 比赛正式开始 8点正开始，果然10分钟多，就看见Team MH的Vijayan到站交棒（Ekiden的接力棒是一条布条）给Lim Kian Huat！Klang Pacer的Jasni紧接在50m后交棒给Naresh，够快！Ronnie也不差，和Jasni相差100m左右以第三名姿态交棒给Stanley。这次比赛Mix team先跑，Men Open 10分钟后再跑。以Wern Tien的能力，估计10分钟后应该也要到站了，是时候热身了，有点紧张。 果然10分钟后Mix team的一些选手还没跑完，就听到报告报告“113A, 113A BLACK, BLACK color！Men Open dah sampai！”酱熟的？113A咧，我是113B！哇老爷！！！Wern Tien以第一名姿态出现，UPNM的紧跟在他后面10m，Perlis的又在后面50m左右，我还在旁边有点反应不过来，...
