As a preparation for the coming Syawal, to get ready for all the glorious food fest...i joined the Tri-krazee-thletes on their final Genting Ramadhan run.
If the previous week i went to take photos, this week i was there as a "walker".(Gile ke nak lari up Genting all the way?)
Thanks to Ngae, Jules and Jakull, we had about 6 support vehicles and even a POLICE ESCORT.
The total distance from Genting Sempah up to Genting is about 21km with a good short resting point in Gohtong Jaya, which is about 12km up the course. The next 9km from Gohtong to Genting is a very gruesome climb with even 45 degrees inclines. (Sempat survey dulu before the run)
We took off around 10 pm with the "slow turtles" getting a 15 minute head start. There were 6 of us walking while the odd 20 rest ran. I thought it was gonna be cold but about 1km onto the walk i was already shedding layers of clothes ( windbreaker daaa...) and by the 4th km, the runners were already taking over. At about 1130 we reached Goh Tong for a short teh tarik session. Since i havent ran or exercised in a while and the fact that im not crazy enough.. hee.. I skipped the second leg of the course which is the hardest and just hopped onto one of the support vehicles. It was definitely a fun new experience and next year i plan to do the Gohtong - Genting part pulak.
Thank you to all who waited, who accompanied and walked with me all the way. You guys are the best.
