i dont know what is my phone problem, can't bluetooth photos from my phone to laptop. hence explained the reason why i rarely blog recently, plus i'm too busy with work definitely.
anyway, wanted to blog about hari raya, but that one can be wait. kita settle the recent event dulu which i'm too excited to blog hihi :)
i think it was early of the year when hafdzuan asked me .. nak masuk 20km viper challenge tak??? ala-ala ninja warrior (kitorg mmg selalu layan ninja warrior kat disney channel, hadzim pon selalulah buat aksi ninja warrior kat umah tu .. skrg fina plak buat haha). haruslah nakkkkkkk. we supposed to join his office team, maklumlah this kind of challenge lebih baik buat in a group. yang kuat tolong yang lemah .. teamwork gituuu..
frankly speaking, i was a fan of "istana takeshi" .. hahahha .. mmg dari dulu berangan kalaulah dapat join such event bestnyeeee lahhh. so ni macam my dream come true la. tak dapat buat kat jepun dapat buat kat malaysia pon jadiklah. plus, lebih baik aku belasah buat semua benda skrg, nanti dah tua menyesal tak pernah join such event .. hehe.
when the date approaching, hafdzuan suddenly has to sit for exam on the date (17/8). nasib baiklah viper challenge ni buat 2 hari .. so we switched to sunday (18/8). maka tinggallah we olz berdua jek to do the challenge on sunday .. all his officemate did on saturday .. huhu .. tak pelah, belasah jek laa kan. nasiblah aku join skali, kalau tak lagi sadis hafdzuan masuk sorang-sorang.
on the day itself, we arrived around 7.40am. boleh pulakkkk tertinggal beg yg dah letak wallet & spare tshirts (was informed we are going to be wet by the end of the day) .. so gamble jek laa pegi counter bgtau i left my ic at home, so diorang tanya ada apa2 tak to proof that it is me, i just showed them kad perakuan perkahwinan from hafdzuan's wallet .. nasib laa kat situ complete ada gambar & nombor ic. even ic hafdzuan pon diorang tak verify! haha. so settle masalah kat situ ...
ok lupa nak cite. i had kacang pol as breakfast (mom's kacang pol the day before yang perlu direpeat pada hari ini haha), minus chillis utk menyelamatkan perut. hafdzuan had egg sandwich. we brought 2 bottles of glucose drinks + & 4 power gel (after been informed the organizer was suck on the first day, so we better prepared ourselves). turn out, the second day was much better compared to the first day, lucky us!
took the photo at the entrance before we keep our phone in the car. hafdzuan mmg begitew, tak gemar bawak phone kalau event lari-lari ni. tak serius katanya. nyampahhhhhh huhu.
gun off at 8.45am. rasanya around 300 people for this group (last group to release). semua orang lari main-main jek hahaha. hafdzuan kata tak macam running event, kalau running event berdesuppppp semua dah pecut.
lari 2km kat litar sepang tu, lepas tu jumpalah first obstacle. merangkak bawah jaring. terbaiklah kannn dah laa semalam & pagi ni hujan, mmg lecak abis. makanya 1st obstacle lg dah comot dari lutut ke siku haha. lepas tu ada 2 obstacle wall (dalam litar). then barulah kuar litar, dah start masuk kawasan tanah.
so the 4th osbtacle ialah masuk dalam ice tank (harap-harap tak delah makhluk pegi kencing dalam tu haha). we olz bukak stokin & kasut .. fuyohhhh sejuk gileeee .. mencucuk2 badan. patutnya ni yg last-last. barulah best. hehe.
lps tu obstacle seterusnya dah tak ingat dah flownya .. antara obstacles yang ada:
- melompat2 atas tayar
- panjat atas timbunan tayar
- masuk dalam bukit-selut-bukit-selut (sorry, this one we escape, alaaa takat main selut jek tak best pon, kecik2 dah main, plus hafdzuan's shoes dah mcm nak tercabut plak tapak, so better keep our shoes, lagpon agak saiko kot merata2 nampak tapak kasut orang dah tercabut)
- monkey bar (huwaaaaaa i totally failed on this, cant even reach the second bar, loser giler!! alasan yang wajar diberikan - bar was slippery due to selut-selut tangan org lain yg melekat, and i was too heavy kahkahkahhhh).
- laluan titian kasih (a very thin bridge, bawah tu ada air teh tarik .. 3x try, sampai halfway jek pastu failed .. huwaaaaaa .. alasan yang boleh diterima pakai - titi licin giler sebab segala selut dah ada kat situ, kasut pon penuh selut, and my balancing was very bad!!).
- naik turun bukit dalam kelapa sawit yg mcm haram jauh haha. tapi jalan ok laa, kalau kene lari lg menyumpah kot hihi (tapi aku run bila time turun jek laaa kehkehhh)
- panjat bukit dengan tali (kacang)
- panjat tali (kacang)
- panjat hay (kacang)
- panjat walls (ada yg dry wall, ada yg wet wall)
- turun slide dari bukit sambil ditembak pili bomba (lama gile waiting kat sini .. ada around 40mins kot .. and hafdzuan ntah mcm mana slide, baju siap koyak, calar balar kat blakang badan dia)
tu jek obstacles that i could remember. in total i think it was about <20 obstacles. not bad.
summary - 1 obstacle i skipped, 2 was failed (hahaha, hafdzuan manage to get thru all the obstacles of course except the one that we skipped).
at the final 4km, we passed by our car so i asked hafdzuan to take the phone. dapat tangkap sikit gambar buat kenangan pon jadik laaa .. hehe.
ni posing dulu. pastu hafdzuan tolong angkat naik wall tu. gile kauuuuu camne nak lari & panjat dah laa ada teh tarik lagi kat bawah tu. ok tu alasan utk aku laa sbb hafdzuan ok je lepas jew dia buat sensorang hihu.
triathlete tak perlukan pertolongan ye dok .. semua buat sendiri jekk.
sebelum kene tembak dgn air pili bomba kat finishing line. kita pose jap.
with our finisher medals .. weeee. we completed at 5hr 20mins. dapat finisher t, medal & cert. actually finish kat depan2 jugak laa, walaupon start antara yg belakang .. sebabnya, team aku 2 org jek so cptlah bergerak. team org lain yg ramai org nak kene tunggu team mates lagi mmglah jadik lambat.
kaki kechut. terbaikkk tak de blister langsung. thank you for dry fit anti blister socks!!
anyway, it was very fun doing my istana takeshi. impian seumur hidup ni. dapat buat sekali pon jadik laa. next year kene masuk lagi ni. nak buat proper training sikit. masa kecik2 dulu senang jek buat monkey bar (monkey bar ialah mende wajib abahku the ex-army suruh buat masa sekolah dulu tiap kali pegi playground, suruh tinggi katanya, dah kertu ni tak boleh buat langsung huhu). kalau buat ramai-ramai lagi best. makanya akan kuhasut ramai lagi utk join event ni next year. really worth my rm100!
as for me yang bukanlah peminat long distance running, sanggup jek nak buat event ni, 20km obstacles .. tapi kalau running event semata-mata 20km .. mak tak minat yoooo :P
last but not least, thank you to mr triathlete daku yang jaga timing untuk minum air (he only allowed me to take 1 sip for every 10mins huhu, skema giler!), siap paksa buat interval pakai timing & tiang (haha) dan paling penting sekali tiap kali naik bukit dia tolong tolak aku yg mcm jentera berat ni .. katanya sharing the energy. so i'm expecting the same thing during our kinabalu climbing next week! haha. untung laaa ...
