What happened in 2017?

Image
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. ...

Par XII Series 1 and 2 - Race Report

Image
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...

Penang Round The Island Relay - The Cari Teams

Image
It was a trip that had been planned for very long. The 2012 event was awfully fun and syok that we decided that we would definitely come back again after a few years so earlier this year, Shu Wei and Victor started to plan for this event. We actually created the admin group last year if I'm not mistaken and started some leisure talk and brain storming sessions. We had the experience after participating in the 2012 event so this time it seemed much smoother but it was definitely not an easy job as most people had seen. To organize an event for a total of 36 people, it's quite unavoidable for the incidents to happen. People ffk last minute because of the injury, the commitment, etc and it's quite hard to please everyone. But luckily this time this bunch was not much of the DDLY people, everyone were quite easy going and gave us all the support and the utmost cooperation so in the end 3 teams were formed! Cari Teams! 3 Teams Cari Forever Faster and Cari Ignite were ...

October - The Month of Race Cancellations

Image
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...

Pacemakers Anniversary Run X Race Report

Image
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...
