Perangkaan 2011

Muahahaha! The year is coming to an end and fellow athlete friends are busy compiling stats of running miles logged. I reckon it was one great year for everyone which we should be thankful that we could live another day  and watch the sun, the birds and the bees and of course our love ones. Cherish them while we can. Jazakallah.

Cranking year :]
First quarter was the biggest achievement in my cycling. The miles were unbelievable but once  commitments were locked, it was now or never (sebenarnya sebab dah bayar fee PCC Interstate mahal. keh keh keh). If you're an enthusiast cyclist, doing ONE interstate ride is a must. The satisfaction was awesome. The camaraderie was a pleasurable one. If I have the chance, a repeat is possible.

Pounding moderately
Though I was a bit too ambitious to hit two birds with one stone, I was too weak to even pick up the stone and throw at the birds. Hahaha. Faktor usia. After the Interstate, the window was too narrow for me to recover AND train for KL Marathon. I struggled. And failed to get the ultimate strength. There is a saying by my orang kampung (dahsyat orang kampung aku ni) "Go out and give 100%, or don't go at all". So I didn't. Ultimate sufferfest by NOT respecting the distance is obviously unwise. Sapa nak gosok baju kalau dah kengkang seminggu?! Hang habaq mai! That's where June was zero running miles :|

Liquid :]
Well, these are sporadics. The main reason I was hooked to it was due to the lambungan ombak beracun by  friends for my first tri event. Alhamdullillah it went OK though it was only a runcit-runcit category BUT by making the big leap into the open water was major...well, at least for me.

I trained when there's race. I chilled when there's none. Making up time with the loved ones are more indulging. 2012? Projects? Plans? Hmmm...I'll start with Bukit Ammah first lah. Then we'll see how it goes.

Happy New Year :]

  3. Remaja purba yg wajar dijadikan contoh teladan oleh remaja2 moden di kampung dn di bandar. Aku tau bukan senang nak maintain perut tak boroi.

    Well done on the wonderful 2011.
    Kami yakin Chekgu Ahmad akan lebih mengganas pada tahun 2012, sempena penambahan elaun cikgu PJK seluruh tanah air yg baru diisytiharkan baru2 ini...

  4. Nik, remaja yang paling purba kita tak boleh ketepi kan. Dia lebih afdal dijadikan contoh teladan beb.

    Macam biasa, 2012 pun ikut sekadar yang termampu. Elaun PJK pakai buat pi kebun pun buleh...kui kui kui.

    Happy new year bro!

  5. Hahaha... lawak komen korang kat atas tu. Ehem! Aku pun dah termasuk kategori remaja purba nie hikhik
    Dah masuk 3 alam, tentu ada banyak perkara lain nak kena explore, so aku rasa thats why running take a back seat kot? Takpe bro, asal aktif. Lagi banyak cabang lagi baekk!
    All the best for 2012 bro, tak kira samada cabang rekreasi atau kerjaya mahupun keluarga!
