Twilight Ultra Challenge 2012

Last year, the Twilight Ultra Challenge (TUC) is a stranger race / challenge to me. 

I'm just focus on my Sundown Ultra. 

Since after Sundown Ultra, any Ultra races / Challenge I'm quite aware of it as I have confidence on my ability to complete the challenge unlike last year. 

Twilight Ultra Challenge is not a race, but rather a challenge to myself. 

btw, before that i got a confession to make. 

"I have not run a single KM since HK100" 

Guess, i'm tired of Foreveralone Ultra training. Giving myself a break on running. 

But, when I'm registered for TUC, i never thought of my current situation. I know I'm going to challenge myself as at that point of time, I'm on ultra running fever! 

So, TUC, no benchmark being set, just run walk crawl for minimum of 6-7 hours having my Burger King meal break, and McD meal break in between when feels hungry... 

Life is not about just running! 

Looking forward to test my new found Hammer nutrition! 

Wonder what number will i get ....! 

Some figures about TUC: 

210 Registered Participants
164 Individual Participants
14 Teams with 46 Participants
Almost 2,000 litres of water
1,000 Bananas
10 Watermelons
10,000 Cups
Uncountable sweat, tears... and some blood :) 

Good luck to all TUC participants!

Run Buddy Run Nike+ Challenge - Nov 15, 2011

Since my last post Nov 5, 2011, I was stopped using Nike+ over the weekend.
Just feel something not right in me. I was skipped Nike+ over my high mileages weekend and im only resume back on weekday.

Few day no clocking on mileages, my placing dropped. To be honest, seeing the KM figures in the Nike+ can be really de-motivated and some part its motivated.

I thinks i was demotivated, and i skipped using Nike+ during the last weekend. I really have no idea how people can run 300KM plus within 8 days... this really turn off to me!

Weekend were over, and looking at the figures again, I need turn this de-motivation to motivation as i need mileages for my 100KM The Most Beautiful Thing #TMBT. This week is crucial week, it's high mileage week that i can do so, so does next week last week to do so...

Okay, so i turn this into motivation and i ran Tuesday AM, Tuesday PM, Wednesday AM, Wednesday PM and Thursday PM all were at Lake Garden. Its were a treasure to run so many sessions at 1 single place without getting bored. Thank you runners who run with me.... but most of the time AM sessions i ran alone.

Just in care: Those not aware of TMBT can click here: The Most Beautiful Thing 100KM

By this weekend which end on Sunday for me, i shall break into Top 10. Wish me all the best and good luck!

Nike+ Challenge #WeRunKL, Oct 5, 2011

3 days, its all i need to break into the Top10 of the Run Buddy Run Nike+ challenge by #WeRunKL.

I'm at 9th position today! The real competition is just started.

To be honest, i'm just a newbie to Nike+. Nothing much i know about Nike+ thingy. I know that I'm been running for the past 3 days continuous running everyday morning and evening session for me to reach at 9th position.

I know, running too much and on everyday basis will increase the risk of injury, which is a nightmare to a runner specially I'm preparing for The Most Beautiful Thing 100KM trail run @ KK.

  Hello top10 runners. Let's run.

Let's run, run and run. 

For every KM we clock, @NikeMy will donate RM1.00 to charity.

#Project365 Day 29 - Putrajaya Twilight Challenge

In front of Palace of Justice for the challenge. 

Im completed 52km! 

Putrajaya Twilight Challenge ‎2011

This week, im only working for one day which was on Friday and Mon-Thurs i was in Kota Kinabalu for FireFly Media Inaugural Flight to Kota Kinabalu. 

Nothing much im prepared for this challenge as i did not done proper carboloading and i even did not run any single KM during the weekdays but i know my normal training were sufficient to clock minimum 42km. 

On Saturday evening, we gathered in front of Justice of Palace to get our bib number and we were flagged off at 7.10pm. 

Photo session before start of challenge. Most of us have signed up Sundown Ultra Marathon 2011 ! 

Woot... 

Thanks Weng for the photo. 

The route is a 11km loops. 

Basically in this challenge, we were experience how our body react when we running a night ultra marathon distance. We start at 7.10pm and we continuing running for the whole night and ran into early morning as well. 

i tried my own formula  hydration drinks + banana + Livita = awesome energy recharge and im stay awake even at 1am in the morning. Another important thing was my stomach can digest and convert it to energy for my run! 

Im only ran 52km in the 8 hours 56 mins....

Its was a great start for the ultra marathon training! 

More to coming after CNY. 

Happy Chinese New Year.

Euro Deli Burger Eating Contest

Euro Deli is promoting its new burger, The Matterhorn, a ginormous 9"X6" burger guaranteed to satisfy even the most die-hard meat lover. It's by far the biggest burger in Malaysia.

They're organising The Matterhorn Challenge, i.e a burger eating contest. This means you can eat the burger free.

The mechanics of The Matterhorn Challenge are pretty straightforward. They are:

• Participants must agree and sign a liability waiver form before entering contest.

• To win, The Matterhorn (burger) must be completely eaten within 45 minutes.  No leftover of vegetables, cheese, meat nor bread should remain on the plate.

• The Management reserves the right to disqualify any participant it deems to have not complied with the terms and conditions without giving any reason.  The Management’s decision is final.

• If a participant fails to finish within the contest time, the cost of the burger at RM88++ would be charged.  Leftover of burger cannot be shared with other diners but may be packed for takeaway in a box.

• For the winner, a mystery gift will be presented and the burger will be free of charge.  A complimentary Polaroid photo will also be given to commemorate the occasion and another will be displayed on the “Wall of Fame”.  Any additional photos may be ordered at RM5 each.
