BHP Orang Run - 12 April'09

After being rest for 6 days, I wanted to go fr training. Then I realised, there's this charity run which is 11km long. So why wait? Rather than training alone with no return, it's better that i challenge myself to challenge the rest.

Although the entry fee was free, but the goddies were really good. I manage to grab as follows:
- 10 cans of Energy drink
- 9 packets of chips
- 3 packets of assoted nuts

All this could worth more than RM20 and all I paid was nothing. Furtehrmore, we were provided with 7up Revive, Tongkat Ali, nescafe, Indocafe, Mamee slurp, Fitnese cereal, Dutch Lady Milk & H20 Isotonic Drink as for breakfast.

I have never tried the track before. It covers The Curve, Bandar Utama, Kota Damansara and Tropicana Club. Definely it was new experience running around the housing area ( luxury houses which could cost RM7million).

I started slow by pacing Kenny Tan for 1st 3km. He was quite fast. So I told tomyself that I should not loose to him. After 3km, he lost his pace, so I was on my own.

Recahing, 4.5km, I was starving for water but they had only 7up revive. so i just grabbed a cup and took 2 sips. It was flat road till the water station, but upon that, the challenge beginned. It was hilly at 3 points which tested my patience.

Whatever, I just maintained the pace till 9km. Suddenly, I saw a pelathon of 5 runners which includes Hamidon chasing me from behind. I just followed them by increasing my pace. Hamidon was shouting "Speed, Speed, Finishing".

I just pushed myself and while reaching 50metres to finishing, I came out from that pelathon and pushed more. At last 20 metres, I realised two runners were in front of me andI on my turbo to sayur them. That wasthe real satisfaction for me in this run.
