Kenyir Triathlon 2010

it was called malaysia's toughest triathlon, and it was very tough, indeed. for a start, i did relay (run) for 10km, with dearest teammates mas (swimmer) and chin (mountain bike cyclist). and this is the place where you expect the unexpected!

as usual, our gathering place for the convoy members would be our most favourite hang-outs, pusat akuatik-renang tomyam (where you can find the best tomyam in town). we set out to terengganu at 12.30am saturday morning (due to some delay where some of our convoy members terlajak tido di rmh!~) haha! and the journey took about 7-8 hours (since we stopped at almost every R&R for lepak and some strategy-planning meeting).

we reached kuala berang at about 8.30am, we had our special breakfast there, nasi lemak, nasi dagang, and some other terengganu specialties.

we continued our journey for another one hour until we reached the beautiful kenyir lake resort and spa (we didn't get the chance to play around the spa, though) but the views and surroundings of the lake were superb! the first activity was went out for lunch, and sleep and rest for those who were so worn out due to the long and bumpy journey. at night, we had our carbo-loading and briefing about the race.

on sunday, everybody woke up early, got ready of everything, and set out to the starting line. the guys went out first riding on their bicycles..while the girls managed to get a ride on the powerbar-sponsor van!~ it was a very cheerful event for all of us, and it was proven that kenyir triathlon is possible to all of us :P

thousand thanks to mas for her support and company during my tormenting 10k run (i never felt that exhausted before) having to run up the bukit hantu kuman kamin. everyone involved was a finisher, and ameer even got first place for Terengganu close category.
