MMDS report (pt 1)

This is my first time participating in such events. What to expect? Not much la coz I havent been really training for almost 3 weeks. Maybe below 45 mins. Kena sindrom malas la. What to do. Ada ubat ka?

So, off we (the usual suspects la, me n Grunge) went to Lumut with bus at 11am. Senang and jimat duit.

Sampai Lumut close to 3:30pm. Called Haris about lodging. Rasanya macam takde jek. Takpe la. Finally we met at the lobby of Orient Star hotel, bout 5 mins walk from the bus station. Hari pulak gelap macam nak hujan. erk. So after collecting goodie bag and stuff, three of us decided to carik hotel la. At first, Haris tried to stay at his friends company house, but then the wife is expecting childbirth pretty soon. So takpe lah. We manage on our own la. Takmo susahkan orang.

So kitaorang stay at Harbour View hotel. Cheap. RM80 per night. Tapi masuk bilik je bau minyak angin. Perghh!

Then me n grunge decided to makan first. We carbo-load with some 'unauthentic' nasi kandar (kedai penipu!). Tapi takpe la. Janji makan.

After that went back to Orient Star for hi-tea and briefing (berapa banyak makan la?). Masa hi-tea, met up with my cyclist, Wendy. Then lepak-ed, tengok orang dengan gaya masing masing. Like Azwar said la, there is a tendency of people to come clad in previous MMDS t shirt, bermudas and oakleys on their head. Biasa la, gaya kena sepuluh. Me? Aku dengan jeans, t shirt, selipar and a pair of Petaling Street sunnies on my head.

Pastu sumer peserta are invited for race briefing. Fuyoh this is my first time attending a race briefing. Ingatkan crucial la sangat. From what i got from the briefing, it was almost the same with the rules n regulations yg ada kat internet. Cant you be more specific ka? At least show some slides, maps ka, apa ka. Can improve on that la I think.

Malam pulak, me n Grunge lepak kedai mamak boraks about almost anything that we can come out with. Hehe..kitaorang holiday je kat sini! Sambil tu nampak la few ppl riding on their bike. Survey jalan kut. Trek, Cannondale, Pinarello pun ada. Ala, its not about the bike la! Hihi..
Sekali ternampak Maya Karin tengah makan at one gerai nih. Fuyoh! Cun abis! Kitaorang yg dah kembung minum air ni pun rasa nak duduk minum lagi!



We retired around 12pm kut. Borak borak sikit ngan Haris, and found out he's a very enthusiastic runner. Suddenly sumer orang dozed off. Aku je belum. Biasa la, race jitters. Everytime ada race mesti kena. At around 2 am kut, hujan pulak kat luar. Dah la air con sejuk. Enuf said. Terkelip-kelip la aku dalam gelap tu. Dalam hati, "apa la jadi kat aku esok?".
