My running gadget..

Its kinda voodoo thingy. but damn stylo wearing this. even my office ppl say stylo. I felt stylo too. so i am stylo lah with this.. lotsa ppl wearing this.. still to be proven.. wearing some aqua dont know what titanium shit over on ur neck..can use for other area of the body also.. certainly i got to tie few more round if I want to regulate the "chi" and positive and negative ion around my
cuukoobird.. Just kidding. I bought this the night after Bidor run. I got a sore left leg.. So that night kinda hook it on the left leg.. the next day not bad man.. call it superstitious or psycho lah.. but as long as its help. I am on man.. and in fact my neck also not so stiff.. believe it or not.. I am buying into it as some level.. perhaps u could wear it to psycho urself and voodooing ur mental to the finish line..
For some.. running is a sacred shit like yoga or transmeditation. Some just run for fun.. some to escape something. Some pia kaw kaw lat.. like the face of Ronnie See.. kinda like everytime he run.. u imagine he kangkang his leg and give birth.. like Arnold in the movie Junior.. Hail Ronnie the birth mate to thousands descendant of runners.

Some run because they want to make the record. Some for physical well being and other attributes.

I am kinda into mixture between all of them sometime. So to overcome boredom sometime, I need to have something to keep me going beside than H20 and sodium stuff.. The mp3 is a fine companion with 16 beats rat tat tat tat.. all the way.. well, few weeks back I tried to used my nokia express and hook up to should support and run.. wire dangling to my ears.. it was not too bad really.. but again when I found this in Chae's office. I was sold lah..

Damn nice to hook around.. fix my head.. it charges with USB port. so now after my forerunner charge is complete, i hook the mp3 in to charge. The dimension is huge..and fit nicely over my big big head.. I love this gadget.. though a bit bassy but it feed most songs perfectly well. it hold up to 2GB of songs..

So not really much room to finish a marathon.. so run faster fatso...

The thing is it got a blue diode flashing as u play songs.. kinda poser as u run in the night lah..ahaha.. who cares.. anyway KLCC got lotsa lotsa runners these day.. with at least 35 - 40% on mp3..

Are they playing deep purple? 168 is the cheapeast at genting man... smoke in the water.. money gone up the air.. as much as i like richie blackmore... but i will safe that 168 for my next pair of shoe or endurox or whatever stuff that comes along the way.. :p
I bought this Forerunner 305 two weeks ago from ebay. I lost my Timex about a year ago. some thief stole it from my car.. but left the heart rate belt for me as souvenir. It was at the car boot.. and the watch was at the middle side handle bar compartment. What I want is something to gather my heart rate and HRR.. and I love to see that heart rate once upon as low as 45 bpm.. that was awesome feeling.. u can literally hear ur heart beating so slowly..

Now Dinesh asked me to consider the 305..and influence by his 405 cool GPS watch man..

Since it was a good deal and 200 different from the regular.. this gadget has the GPS that tell me how far u run man.. that is real cool.

Well, the hassle got stuck and custom, must get approval from Sirim and other stuff.. dint deter me. fINAlly i got it running at KLCC Park.. wow..

wHEN i load it into the Garmin training center software and also the sporttrack.. it was awesome man.. all the details and data was there..

I love data and figures. I could recall the scene and it actually give me a lot of information thru all the pack data.

definitely lotsa update will come from this Garmin at this blog.

this is where the runner sprint towards the finish line.
ten something jor..still got runner coming.
ma medal..
luaarrr biasaaaa... tidak pak.. makanan percuma .. tak sedap....buang aje lah..
fuyoo.. so many states flers came..
look at this medal man.. heard bidor has the best medal in the entire country..damn cun and big.. really really ppl call it a medal.. as compare with the kuci rat energizer.
* sponsor belambak ... but thanks to them la...

woKE up this morning at 5am and left Kampar shortly after that.. reached Bidor and already multitude of crowd. surprisingly not as many ppl lah.. in fact the 21km flers are more than 10km flers.. so Lim arrived and passed us our bib number..

then at 7am..bang! the 21kmers left .. shortly after that ..a handful of 10kmers bang and left..

it was a fun run lah.. crossing part of the main road at bidor town in sea wave of people. then enter the ladang area.. masuk aje.. not too long already got water station.. heard there are only 2 wATER station. Wow.. that was a very early water post.. yea.. less than 2km .. so cabut and run lah.. at 2.5km onwards already seeing elevation pass the bridge which underneath is the North South Highway.. there is one minachi and aneh quarreling on the bridge..then aneh decided to jumped down the bridge. Minachi hand raise.. " yingge?" ... oKAY.. that was just a spice of the imagination on the bridge.. first time passing by ladang ladang area mah.. i havent come to the Roundup story yet..anybody know what Roundup is? Its a pesticide .. those days heard the fat indian lady suicide because the husband cannot stop drink todeee....

Then KNS.. somemore elevation..tak habis habis.. but fun lah.. can cut cut some ppl..then some ppl cut back lah.. then the smell of cow dung all the way.. interesting.. u dont get this in KL run or Padang Merbok what.. I kept running.. my goal for this run is DNW ...Did Not Walk except for at the water station.. i cant seems to be able to run and drink.. wtf..

So as usual main psycho with some runners lah.. some can main for awhile..some turn paranoid and bulldoze.. for me i ran at my own pace..

walau..only 4km ania.. then at km 4.5 another evelation..that time.. before that already revv kaw kaw.. keluar asap sikit.. so gotta pace it lah.. at km5 masuk few estate kampung style house.. then some old old bonda was watching.. then suddenly a big macho came out running and squeeze one of the runner ear... "oh..here u are running lah.. my daughter is pregnant with ur baby.. u still dont go out and sell CNI coffee.. got time to run!!" ... Ignore the pakcik portion of imagination..

So second water station la.. i gulp in two cups of water..

after one minutes or so.. the battery recharge.. run lah.. apa lagi.. zoom zoom.. that was this fei chai uncle also.. not as fat .as me.. but u know lah lotsa ppl paranoid.. i always see that as i walked pass some walking running.. sure they will begin to start running again.. "if this fei low can..why not..." there are some runners that run passed me and look at me..

Neolitic ppl is as huge as me .. but without the tummy lah.. :p ..

So run run run.. the last hill attack..that one kaw kaw one.. oo.. i love hill...then turbo charge for 5 minutes..ON NOS.... pssssss.....psssss.... managed to pace at the back of the uncle and daughter...dont know who is that lah.. the daughter wear ENR vest one.. So they cut me by at 5km water station shortly.. so the last two kms.. at the hill attack.. i saw them began to pancit..

but i reckon still left two kms.. attack hill first..slowly pace close to them.. then before the first water station that we ran pass.. i patient running thin.. ok lah.. just run past then and benchmark some other fler..

So as passing the residential area.. Already less than a km.. then last 400 metres increase nos.. so i saw the finish line.. kaw kaw nos.. but but dont want to feel kill myself..

at least i know .. i could shave more time ... there are still reserve gas in my tank that i dint dully utilise..

E93... eternal living.. chinese word..aahaha.. good lah.. that is my position.. so damn behind..
..
then as i went and get the isotonic drink.. one malay guy name idzwan from Johor said to me " wow.. u laju"..

havent u seen a jumbo jet before meh... ekekke...

he is joing SCKLIM... hope to see you there he said.. hope he join 21km also lah..

so went to the finish line and waited for Lim, Peter and Dinesh to finish their 21KM..

Quite Amazing Peter clock 2:00 00 exactly at the finish line on his watch.. geng!! follow by Lim..

then the indian fler ate too much steamboat a day before having cramp at km 19.. limping Jack all the way to the finish line..ahaha..

but it was pure great fun.. nice to run in this town..

we went for a short lunch .. damn cheap mixed rice.. after that went to sungkai hot spring..

finally i came here lah.. what a crazy thing to do man.. damn kau hot.. after still heaty body.. and heaty weather.. we went for hot spring.. kaki rendam until no rasa..

but we went for the cooling spring water pool also lah... ini baru lah untuk budak tropical..

My conclusion is HOT SPRING ARE FOR JAPANESE WHO LIVE IN MOUNTAIN TOP LIKE NAGANO, JAPAN. PERIOD.

Of mockery or self gratification

This blog is intended to see how much I have made improvement for my physical well being from now till end of this year and beyond.

maybe I will make a mockery out of it or perhaps the sense of achievement which is well documented. However the enigma maybe, time will tell it all.

I want to take it to the next level. Period.
