In a New Year, hope that a new improvement and some achievement can be achieve by both of us… the first race that we joined in 2014 is MPIB Run, XX run 12km and me 7km. Luckily I choose the right categorize as the distance and competitors not so strong…12km women open are very competitive and not easy to beat down. There is some conflict when XX run 12k where they run the wrong route luckily they able to track back the result and XX get 4th placing and me also same with him. The day before race, I think i have food poisoning with cirit-birit and vomit, very suffering..I thought I unable to run luckily my condition recover quite fast...
After a long rest of CNY, we joined SMK TTJ Charity Run at Seremban. Although this is a small event and mostly is student, but we can see that there still have Kenyans join this run too and my competitor for PUMA challenge also joining. As I told myself will not give up easily to beat down them, although the process of the run are quite difficult and I’m able to beat down them and feel happy with my achievement. The route for this race is 10km with a lot of hills, quite a challenge for me…I managed to get 2nd placing with 53min39sec and the 1st placing is Kenyan girl. XX also managed to get 5th placing with his category are quite competitive and have 3 Kenyans and country representative also joining.
With the hot and not raining session, Malaysia are having haze problem. Malaysia Women Marathon held at Shah Alam also having a problem of haze and air pollution issue almost cause the event postponed. But the organizer decided run the event and become to non-competitor run. Since the event changed to non-competitor, XX decided run together with me as a warm-up and training session. But the arrangement for the route and direction for this race are very bad, although this is not the competition and we run leisurely but we almost get lost. We ran for almost 1hour and very frustrated with their arrangement. I think I will not join this race for this coming year…very bad!!
The 3rd race that we
joined is Thirsty Water Run together with my passionate colleague, Eric. In this
race, I met again with one of my competitor in PUMA challenge. I’m feel sad for
my result and I beat down by her…I get 3rd placing with 31min27sec
and XX get 2nd placing with 25min20sec. Maybe this time I put myself
too high and didn’t train hard…very sad!!! After heard some advice from my
lovely coach, I decided to train harder and do not look down anyone of the
competitor so easily. Hope that we can meet again in the next race….The prizes
for this race are quite worth, as they get sponsored by Tupperware and quite a
lot of free gift and contest from them…
This year, we decided to join
some race that we never join before. One of the races is Kenaboi Adventure Race
which is mix category. Actually, I feel quite scare as I never join the race
like this before and this is my first time partner with XX. I know that some
argument might happen between us. From this race, we learned that we need to
support and encourage each other from time to time. Wow, this race really full
of challenges…on the half way, I already wanted to give up as my energy and
mental really exhausted on that time. Luckily, XX encourage me all the time and
support me. Sometime, I felt so sorry to my partner as I made our team out of
top10 position. But this is a very good experience to both of us and we never
experiences before and I already scare with this kind of race which we need to
run 22km with a lot of obstacles and challenges even need to go inside the
jungle, cross over the yellow mud and caving. Because of the whole day raining,
our plan to play water tubing had to cancel and makes us have regret for this
race. Finally, we completed the race in 20th placing with 3hrs 35min…Wah,
wat a tired day for us….>~<
