Batu Caves - January 2012

Batu Caves - It's my latest training ground.
All these while, I never been to Batu Caves for steps, or rather climb steps as training.
The only and last time my visit to Batu Caves was back to 2009 during Hari Raya together with Cari Runners where we just finished our run @ FRIM.

Since then, i never visit to Batu Caves temple. Since signing up of HK100, I need steps training, Batu Caves become a very good training ground for me.

The video below was taken early Jan on Monday where i was at Batu Caves at 5:30am on Monday.




Running on barefoot, i tried in Vibram FiveFinger. How about "rea; barefoot" ? Yes, I'm tried also on the stairs training!
 




Videos below was taken this morning Sunday 29 Jan 2012 via my iPhone @ 6am.
The prayer for Thaipusam on 7th Feb 2012 have begins!



Happy Thaipusam in advance



Batu Caves temples are ready for the annual Thaipusam festival where millions of followers will visit and climb up 272 steps...

Great place! How I wish I could go to Batu Caves too. That golden statue looks very magnificent with that light.
