With lots of fellow friends blogging out and fraternizing about running events, I have yet to start putting up my running legs for races. I have to priorities. Only can juggle one big ball at a time. That's the best I can afford for the moment. I have signed up for PCC Interstate 2011, that meant leaving out my running passion for awhile until end of this month, hence absenting myself from running camaraderies.
And too bad it is, this weekend I had to attest that we can only plan but not necessarily can we afford to work the plan. Running the Energizer Night Race 2011 followed with the longest PCC Tar & Grime Interstate training ride the next morning probably is a bad idea. I had to ditch ENR. Not just that, I had to miss Bidor and Borneo again. Seems all events are being cramped for these last 3 months before Ramadhan, and I'm having trouble catching up with what's on and when? Looks like the weighing between cycling and running needs a bit of twitching...and where should I put the swimming?! Lerrr....
Two more weekends, and I'll be freakingly cranking the menu as follows:
PCC Interstate - 3 days of indulgent road cycling
Day 1 Raub - Brinchang (145km): Freakishly hilly
Day 2 Brinchang - Bukit Merah (200km)- Grindingly long & undulating
Day 3 Bukit Merah - Damai Laut (120km)- Enjoyably Flat & short
And this is the time I start to laid out the logistics and prep up my bike and stuff. Nothing similar to running, the list is longer. And I'm gonna need a bigger bag than my current Camelbak Octane.
Worry not, right after completing Interstate, InsyaAllah I'll be working on the running legs again for a month or two with KL Towerthon and Larian Bomba in May before the return of KL Marathon in late June. That would mean, pounding Bukit Aman - Hartamas again, right away. Whoot! And who's up for 32km LSD? But then again, people talking about ultra la nowadays. Apa barang LSD 32k?
All the best to all Energizer runners, Bidor and Borneo. Travel and run safe. Yang penting enjoy!
One big ball je? Cacat ghupenye...
ReplyDeleteBest of luck for Interstate, bro!
(eh, apsal PD Tri takde dlm jadual?)
Hahaha. Hang kona nooo...tau ler pagi tadi pi keje rambut basah. Lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks Datuk!
PD tri?! Aiyak! Jangan bagi aku kalut!
All the best :)
ReplyDeletePD tri! Jangan tak try haha. You know what you love most. Just follow your heart. Am sure this interstate ride will be awesomely swell and can't wait for the full report! And after that, hope to be able to run next you again like old times. They say cycling legs makes strong running legs too. Apa barang 32km kan bila on bike pon dah cecah 100km :)
ReplyDeleteFuh! 120km kira short ride?! Apa barang 32k LSD pada kau.. ride pon dah dekat 500km. Sikit lagi boleh masuk Jelajah Malaysia!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kak June! Catch you in the next run I hope :)
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks Yim. You always have the nicest words. True that, perhaps cranking fill my heart the most. And definitely sure, we'll catch up in the next run...kalau aku tak kena sayur ulam pegaga :D
Zack, 120k kayuh mana sama dengan 32k lari beb. Apatah lagi lari tahap otoro. Takpe, kita sama2 bikin kasi cemerlang bro. For the miles!
PCC Interstate is once a year only. U are spot on with your priorities dude. Its not about the number of events but the joy of doing the events, even if the list is shorter
ReplyDelete(Note - partly ni nak sedap kan hati sendiri pasal haram satu event x register lagik)
Hehehe. Spot on there Ziff! Perhaps I'll just go with the flow and do for the love of it.
ReplyDeleteApa tunggu lagi beb? Kasi sign satu event & train. SCKLM sudah sign ka? Century with CR1 kasi gegar Ipoh pun best jugak...sambung nasik vanggey :D
tu logo Interstate tu gambar arnab ke? apa2 pun sure jadi roadkill nanti hehehe
