Larian Amal Shapadu 2011

Date: 17 April 2011

I considered myself as a recreational runner. After slowly getting into the game, I got my first pair of running shoe early this year. I opted to go with Nike Lunarglide+ 2. Larian Amal Shapadu was a good platform for me to get a taste of a running event. I always wonder the feeling of running with hundreds or even thousands of runners with one goal in mind; to finish strong. There were few hundred runners turned up for this run. This was my first time running in an event. As it was held in Shah Alam I invited few friends to participate in the run. For the men's category they have a 6k run and for the women's category they have a 4k run. The start off didn't went smoothly. When I reached the starting line, the organizer had already fired the gun to kick start the run. Warm ups are important, so I took my time and did few quick stretches, not bother being left behind. Farhan, Elmi and I crossed the finished in 38'17". 10 minutes later Amir and Faiz completed their run. Next stop Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon 2011!!!

With Faiz, Paan and Amir. (Elmi our unofficial camera man)

The scene where we had to ride passed a herd of water buffaloes was awesome. I wanted to grab some photos, but they looked as they were ready to charge. We had to crossed a river which was knee length high. A short heavy rain added to the excitement when I and Uncle Jo found out that we were lost momentarily. In fact, as we were approaching the end of the loop, we found ourselves back at square one and surely we made a wrong turn. Back tracked and were on the right track heading back towards the RV point after few frantic calls to Pak Mat.

Commit or crash is the name of the game
