Ipoh Pre-Century Ride Ambik bibs number and goodie bag.

A CRV collided with a lorry that carried loads of fruits.. Got melon, apples, so many fruits on the floor.. happened at 35km before Ipoh Exit.
* Sudah tak ada Orang. Reached 6.53pm... the venue is at 11th floor Tower Regency Hotel.

Left about 4:20 pm and tekan 120 - 140 all the way. It was scattered heavy rain along the highway. Had been so long never cruise so fast ler.. The sensation is magnificent.

So at 38km before the reaching Ipoh. Damn! Long jam.. sure accident lah ni.. Then it was not moving at all!!!!

I am not that type that used the emergency lane. So for the first time after many many years.. I turned bad.. cut into the emergency lane and drove all the way for not wanting not able to pick up the bibs number lah..

So for sure enuff bad accident. It wasnt piling up actually.. maybe oredi few cars sudah tow?

So reached the got the stuff and one guy was helpful to introduce me about the race and what I should know.

He like no confidence I could make it like that.. keep telling me that at second check point if dint reach before 11 kena naik lorry..ahaha...

I dont care lah.. naik mah naik lor..

ok..got to get some sleep now..

gOODnite!!

kienboon says:

David says:

Too hot to be sick. Heat stroke.

I actually understand what body to restore mean ..a direct translation from chinese lah..

Perhaps mao zedong was awaken a bit for me to associate him with capital that is so close to revolution..

Cultural revolution..anyone?

Koh is my bicycle seller across the road of my office. I was invited to his wedding yesterday at Selayang Palace.

Koh was my regular Sunday Genting Sempah rider kaki along with the others... it goes on for sometime ler.. Beside than getting bicycle stuff and intro kaki to buy bicycle from him.

Rather good service and nice shy gentleman.

But yesterday that fler after kaw kaw drunk jor.. was force to take red wine lar when yumseng from table to table. I was not spared..

When about to leave the hall, he asked us bicycle seller to stay back.. Takkan I was to offend hima and say tomorrow I have to wake up 5am and attend a run leh..

So was retained lah.. before that dia kasi gua one more round of red wine again.. Really make me wee wang wang wee wang wang..

Even as I drove back.. I was like blur blur.. damn.. if kena police habis lockup lah..

We were lucky to getaway when he was carried to the toilet.

The firepower

Been out to watch World cup recently... not really lots of matches as my sickness had not recover.

Did observe there is a guy that start running at my neighbourhood between 3am - 4am..

Damn ... I thought I was the only Crazy Mudhafucker that cycle at 4am that time..

So something is wrong somewhere with me..

PAssIOn and enthusiasm.

Got a chance to catch him the other day.. thought of asking him what is he preparing for...

I think I will put up the idea of running or cycling at 4am again..

Guess could ask him what he is preparing for...

New Plan for running

"Here is an excel template for you to use. Please key in yours and send to me. Mine for the month of July is in there. The rules for the game are simple…


1. We need to achieve minimum 80% of our weekly mileage. Let’s say if that weeks planned mileage is 50k then we need to achieve minimum 40k.

2. Whoever fails to achieve the 80% of the weekly target needs to put RM50 into a tabung.

3. Minimum weekly mileage cannot go below 30km. So if 80% of that weeks target is less than 30km, we still must achieve minimum 30km or 80% whichever is higher.

4. This will continue till PBIM. We will then use the tabung funds for makan and other things in Penang.

5. You must register for a Buckeyeoutdoor account.

6. You must use the Garmin for every run.

7. You must sync the Garmin with Buckeyeoutdoors for every run. This will help us keep track of each other.

8. Runs that are not logged with the Garmin and Buckeyeoutdoors will not count.

9. You must sync your Buckeye account with Facebook so the whole world can see your training!


Better get going man, you are already behind for this week since you have not run!"

Above is the new pointer from Dinesh in preparation for Penang Marathon. Met Dinesh for lunch in the afternoon as he drove over my office.

We were discussing on training all whatever that we have not done or done right.

So I have challenge myself to alkalize my body and at the same time he suggest a proper training plan. Sound good!! Never thought about it. At least the first month is doable lah.

So for the month of July will be : -

Over the a week will have 4 runs. Two which focus on 7-8km mileage, One on sprint at 3km and another weekend of 13-15km long run. I think that is adequate to put in two more sessions of cycling in between.

It's gonna talk whole lotsa commitment again as there is penalty and non-cheating publishing of run via the Garmin 305.. So basically I can't cheat.. anyway firmware that I can tweak the program? :p

What if sometime it eats lemon like what happen to New Balance run? hmmm

At least I am excited to see results in Centro run, Siemens run (not yet register woe), PD Tri and Century ride.

So you could follow-up my progress in Facebook via Buckeyes outdoor.

Tomorrow KLCC here I come mate..

Long time no update liao

Sorry for the lack of update peep. Internet connections at home sucks and I wonder why TMnet was so mean to my house.. First time after many many moons it was not up for somedays jor..

Here I am lepaking at the KFC to ease my mind and relax.

Have been some pressure at work lately to fix some parts of puzzle. Hope those puzzle size fits man or else I would have to sell burger to raise fund for my life and sports activities.

Due to lack of running, my thigh was stiff and walked like robocop. The heart trying to repair itself after the KL half marathon yesterday. I paid the price man.. but once in awhile it is good to know that you are very much alive.

After the run yesterday, I began to look forward for my virgin marathon in Penang. The goal is to finish it lah. A week before that is the Powerman. So u see.. if I dont put up a good plan and work at it sharply... it will be a huge mockery for me and not a nice history mileage coming December on sum of the year.

Before that, in two weeks time is Centro run.. a mini warmup race to get into constant race mood at least it create that way.

Then coming up is PD tri which I will cycle for the relay event and following week is the 160km Century ride in Ipoh.

I am going to make a call to snap a photos of my medals when I hit 100pcs lah. What a narcissist am I on this subject. Nevertheless, self-gratification is good once in a while to move us forward.

Ok ... am tired now...to be continue..
