1. Open category: 18km - 19km
2. Route: River crossing, flat, down hill, climbing, a short tar road and mostly hiking.
3. All route well marked
4. A bottle of water will be given before start. Must hand-over same bottle after finish running. - Keep it green.
4. Flag-off 8:30am. Cut-off time 0100 hour.
Race day
Car pool with Najib, his jr, Alex from my house. Once reach MA at 7:30am.. i forgot my RUNNING SHOES!!! - Bodoh! bangang nak mampos!
Lost >40mins drove back to Bedong. - Najib, reta baru hang memang laju! :P
10mins before flag-off. Quarantine. Roll call. Verify availability. Number of men open category registered, 20+. Rain heavily last night at 2-3am.
8:55am - flag-off.
Route
200meter from startup... river crossing twice - Basah lecun dah kasut.
After 400meter, start climbing. Surprising... i'm still climbing non-stop for 40mins before stop for drinks and take deep breath for a minute.
Jerai trail route, not bored. It's true. Although most of it, is climbing.. but there also flat and down hill. Don't gave a chance. Pecut and potong once see it.
Track was wet and slippery. Sometimes had to grab on existing rope to climb up. Track was well mark by organizer a day before. Ya! That’s the way! Organizer should try the track first... not like Larian Lasak Bukit Larut. They just draw the map.. lepas tu..
"OK.. you all lari ikut map ni. Tergolek, sesat.. nasib hangpa!"
For an hour, i was running + climbing alone. Just follow the mark.
1:26 hour of running - Reach junior check-point (CP)!!.
Got 2 more check points to go - Duh! Ni pun dah nazak.
But.. the scenery.. peeeehh cantek!! and cold some more.
1:38 hour of climbing - Veteran check-point.
Selisih dgn Rosli, Romzi, Supermaniam - Ask Najib, how far to Open CP..
"Jauh lagi.."
..Gulp!
1:51 hour - Finally the CP @ Pencawang. Ask for water. Drink half of it. Turn back to same route.
Learnt something while running down. Eyes and legs must be fast. Faster enough to spot where to steps - else you will slide down / tergelonsor. Most experience runners potong sayur while ran down. Najib lost 3rd position and i lost to 3rd winner of women open while ran down.
Half-way more. My water bottle empty after shared with her.
Tekak betul2 kering kontang.
"1.6KM KE MUZIUM MERBOK"
A sign-board... felt like a very2 long ran down journey.
Could heard a music. My waist - in pain. Can't bend-down. Sometimes had to gelongsor.
Heard a river flow. - not far.
Reach Pondok Ranjer.
"Abang ada ayeq tak?"
"Nah! Sambut"
I drink and hands shivering - badly thirsty.
100meter to reach Museum, i ran + shout aloud to Alex and Najib who were waiting. Claps to myself along the way to finish line. And the MC announced my arrival. Could heard applause from people around - TQ
Clocked in 3:22.56 or 1:51.03(up) + 1:31.52(down). Distance 18km+. Position 9th. - Fulamak..
Won a lucky draw.
Tapak kasut dah lekang.
Frankly - i love it! Adventure and trail run. Wish, there will be SKN 2006 next year.
