Uniten Malakoff Duathlon leg 2

Honestly , eventhough i registered for this event early ; I was so sure of ditching it due to logistic reasons. I;ve not cycled on my T bolt for a very long time and this week i was not able to do any runs in the evening. Wifey was on her intensive "learn to swim" classes that I have to take care of the 3 kids in the evening till her return.
Azad called me.. volunteering to carry my bike with his and i never thought it would be possible ! Of course, bila dah kena racun i agreed and yes.. another event done! It was only Azad and me this time around. Uniten location in Serdang can be a bit of turn off i suppose especially when you don't really have the means to bring your bike with you.

We were in Uniten by 8am ; the race was scheduled for 9am which i consider to be a bit late. Uniten is barren and the cloud looked clear and not as hazy as it was few days back. I really haveto improve on my bowel opening ; as eventhough I thought i've "invested" enough at home in the early morning , I still had to go and settle it upon arrival in Uniten! hahaha we sneaked into a nearby college.. andd waahh.. ok settled !! :)
It was cool to have Shebby Singh as our emcee as his voice made the event "sound" good. We just had to take a pic with him so to justify our travels to Uniten.. hahaha The race started at 9am ish and off we went. I did realize the number of participants were markedly less compared to the UM event last year.

How was the race ? Damn blazing hot... TAK HINGAT PUNYA BAHANG !! I was literally roasted because i did not hav any cap or covering as i ran. The first 3km was good ; i actually did a bit of sprint !! well, not that i beat anybody but it was good to know that the body can cope with such stress.
And then came the transition to the bike. Riding a mountain bike is obviously a disadvantage but then..I'm here to compete with myself and see whether i can do it or not! The first lap was a killer for me because i was familiaring myself with the bike and this resulted me exerting too much effort.. Pancit gila-gila punya.. hahaha the 2nd and 3rd lap was better ( at least for me!!) and the most important thing; i rode all the way and did not have to push my bike ! oklah tu.. hahaha I noticed that they did not record our laps and anybody could have just cheated and do only 2 laps! But naaaahhh.. that is not the point of joining races such as this. You would end up cheating to yourself and i guess i will never do that. Eventhough i know
the 3km run back was obviously slower than my initial 3km but the adrenaline was good. It was 10amish and maaannn... i cannot describe the heat. The water bottles given were used to cool myself down from the outside ; but of course , it evaporated fast and its back to the blazing ray of the mighty SUN!!

Yeaaahh.. habis !! I did not time my run but i guess it was satisfactory. My biking was really bad but i am sure it is much better than last year's MUDS.
So what were the highlights of this event today for me?
1. Pic with Shebby..
