Report: Junior Development Programme 3rd Circuit

By Aiman Cheah

Date: 3rd November 2012 | Saturday | 9:00am
Venue: Taman Tasik Titiwangsa
Distance: 1,200 metres

Akmal Cheah
Category A: Boys under 12 years old
Position: 9th
Time: 12mins 55secs

Afiqah Cheah
Category D: Girls under 12 years old
Position:7th
Time: 11mins 21secs

Both of my children were not in their usual mood. Firstly, I was not competing and secondly Afiqah was under the weather. Little Akmal was not focussed on walking but looking around for insects and enjoying the view.

No complain as both actually did better than last year though both did worse compared to the first circuit.


Afiqah - right foot forward, stretched and preparing for heel contact


Akmal -not in the mood, no proper hand swing

Report: Tanjung 10km 2012

Date: 10 November 2012 | Saturday | 7:00am
Venue: Jalan Sepoy Lines, Penang
Distance: 10km | 42.15mins (not my 10km timing)

Suasana larian  yang serupa setiap tahun.

Kali terakhir aku sertai Tanjung 10km pada 2005. Ini merupakan yang kedua. Setiap tahun pihak penganjur tidak pernah gagal mengadakan acara tahunan sempena sambutan ulangtahun kelahiran Gabenor Pulau Pinang. Sesetengah pelari tegar tertunggu-tunggu acara tahunan ini.

Bagi aku keseluruhan acara menggunakan skrip yang serupa/sama setiap tahun. Bermula daripada maklumat dalam borang penyertaan. Kategori, hadiah, cabutan bertuah, format borang, start/finish banner... sama. Medal mungkin berlainan bentuk, tapi... lebih kurang aja. Laluan, tak pasti plak. Tapi yang pasti berlari melalui jalan-jalan dalam pekan 'Tanjong'.

Kali ini aku datang dengan 2 lagi rakan sekerja. Pihak penganjur memberi 10 slot percuma atas timbal-balas hadiah tajaan daripada syarikat. Seperti biasa, aku berkereta bersama para penyokong persendirian aku. Bertolak 4:30 pagi dari rumah. Penyokong aku sambung lena dalam kereta. 5:45am dah berada di Masjid Negeri untuk subuh.

T'shirt dan nombor bib telah tersedia oleh pihak penganjur sebaik tiba di tempat permulaan - terima kasih Mr.Govind.

7:00am peserta dilepas secara ringkas. Cantek.. tak perlu ada ucapan2 atau senam aerobik yang meleret-leret. Lari dalam pekan 'Tanjong'.. jangan risau. PAAA memang pakar bersama dengan polis trafik, kita-orang memang raja jalanan pagi tu.

Rasanya jarak larian tak cukup 10km. Kurang 1km lebih berdasarkan tempoh masa pada jam tangan. Dah bertahun-tahun buat acara, patut PAAA kena cari laluan yang benar-benar 10km. Kalau kurang 100~500meter boleh masih diterima. Kalau tak, lebih baik - Tanjong 8km.

Keputusan resmi Tanjung 10km 2012 disini.

Report: NTCRC Run 2012

Date: 04 November 2012 | Sunday | 7:00am
Venue: NTCRC Office, Nibong Tebal
Distance: 10km (9.5km) | 21th | 45.55mins

Got nothing to comment on this event. Everything running smooth. The organizer itself  already organized number of running events before. So they understand runner’s needs and expectation. With finisher medals for all and low registration fee this event should not to be miss if held again next year.

Ran through scenic route. I do not know there are night boat trip available for seeing firefly along Krian river until I passing 2~3 signboard at Jalan Teluk Ipir. Not need to go to Kuala Selangor or Kampung Dew, Taiping. Should bring my kids here when balik kampung this school holiday.

Half-way, we ran thru kelapa sawit plantation. It is cold and breeze. The distance marking displayed 5km and my stop-watch shown 23mins. Wow! Syiok... probably I could complete less than 50mins. Routes are well marked with running distance and supervised by local safety team and committees.

@6km, I ran in auto-pilot mode. Meaning I ran in comfortable pace. Once a while I speed-up and sayur kakis depan. Passing taman houses and finally double storey shops lot where NTCRC Office or finish line located.

We were served with lot of post race meal. Such as soy, hot coffee, ice-cream, watermelons, hi-fibre buns, boiled eggs, bananas, kind of ribena drinks, vico, nasi lemak, fried bihun, bottles of minerals drinks... Tak kenyang?! Cuba pusing kali kedua.. Soy, hot coffee, ice cream....bla..blaa. blaaa..

Overall.. i ranked NTCRC Run tahap 'dewi' jika dibanding event di Thailand yang dah tahap 'dewa'. Mungkin event macam Berlin, NY or Bostan tahap 'dewata raya'...

Maybe I could put my 5 sen to NTCRC - Primary school category for short distance. While we enjoy running and stay healthy why not racun our kids into this sport too?

Official result is here.
