KL International Marathon (30 March 08)

I think about 12 of us (10km and 21km running kaki) were registered for the KLIM this year. But on the event day, only 6 persons are shown up. Most of them absent because of the QingMing festival where their family had chosen that Sunday to clean the grave sites of the ancestors. As usual, I took part in the 1okm fun run. I took about 72 minutes to complete the run, 131th in the 10km women category. Well, my result is not good but women category is less competitive. So, I still able to get the finisher medal although I reached after Ah Chak(right most guy). Ah Chak said he's the 508th finisher in the men category. Too bad, organizer only offered 500 medal for each category. If I am not mistaken, Foong Kiew(the girl that wear blue singlet) is the 62th. Lai(the short hair girl) is the only 21km runner in our group. She completed the run in 2 hours 20 minutes.

Gunung Ledang (22-23 March 08)

Nearly 30 persons turn up to the Gunung Ledang day trip. This is my first time to Gunung Ledang. From north-south highway, we exit at Tangkak toll, moving towards Sagil and finally turned into the oil palm plantation from Pintu B. Gunung Ledang resort is about 6km inside the oil palm plantation. We stayed one night at the jungle hut and started the hike the next morning. The weather was good in the morning. However, heavy rain started to pour after 3 hours hike. Our guide doesn't allow us to continue the hike in rain. We had no choice but to descend. I didn't make it to summit this time. Nevermind, I will go again next time. :)
