Getting a sun tan in Putrajaya

Bugger. Because of extreme heat last night, I ended up sleeping late which caused me to wake up late for my weekly LSD. Duh. Just imagine pukul 9:25 baru nak start lari? Panas Woo!! But its okay. Because today, I had an 'adventure' in Putrajaya.

The menu? Run 1 loop of Powerman bike route (not including the double backs) without really knowing where it is. Macam ni. I didnt really know where to go. So my run was based on mental notes of the course which I downloaded from the net. Hehe..boleh sesat macamni. Tapi tengok muka Grunge ok je, tak risau pun. Belasah lah!

So 9:25 start lari kat depan MOF (after warmup sikit), naik atas bridge (lawa!) then supposed we come to the junction of Lebuh Sentosa. Tapi tak nampak tanda nama jalan pulak. Ermm.."simpang satu lagi Grunge, kut", selamba je aku teka. Sampailah simpang satu lagi. Lepas tu masuk kanan. Rupa-rupanya, simpang tadi betul dah. Nasib baik simpang ni parallel dengan simpang tadi. After about 10 mins running, we crossed another bridge with PM residence (I think) overlooking us from a hill. Then, we reached Persiaran Sultan Salahudin Abd Aziz. This persiaran is in fact, the largest goddamn roundabout I've ever encountered. Phew...Got a honk from a car as well. Haha...

Lepas tu, I'm a bit kantoi. Because of this BIG roundabout ada banyak exit, I didnt know which one is it. So slowly (memang dah slow dah pun) we tread the road, with me playing a guessing game. Sekali, a sign that reads: KEDIAMAN TIMBALAN PERDANA MENTERI. "Haaa! Betullah ni!". Grunge pun ikut je la. Aku risau mamat ni kering kontang jer (dehydration) sebab tak bawak air and there's no water source along the road. Nasib baik aku ada bawak air. Woi! Beli CamelBak la! We passed the hour mark.

Bila dah lepas rumah DPM, melintas satu jambatan lagi. Lepas tu, rasa macam sesat. Bukan sesat actually. Just dont know where to go. Then there's a sign 'Taman Wawasan'. Taman Wawasan ni terletak sebelah MOF. So kalau ikut logiknya, by following this route, we will be back at our starting point lah. So ikut lah kami dengan penuh taat nya. Sekali sampai depan Wisma Putra. And there's no other road that we can see leading to Taman Wawasan. Tapi ada satu lorong yang ditutup for kenderaan kecuali 'kenderaan servis' (servis apa ye?). Mesti jalan ni. Dengan penuh yakin-boleh nyer, kitaorang redah. Jumpalah satu ampitheatre. Sempat gak melalak kat situ nyanyi. Takde orang tengok boleh nyanyi. Kalau ada orang suara tak keluar la.. Then..

Nampak the main road depan MOF!! Tapi macammana nak pegi sana? Tak nampak direct route pun? Kenalah kami turun zig-zagging tepi bukit tu. Hahah...sebenarnya, kalau ikut peta yg betul, tak jumpa ampitheatre tu. Tak jumpa pun Wisma Putra. Nanti dia akan tembus somewhere kat KDNHEP. Lawak..lawak. Bila dah jumpa main road tu, semangat la lari balik ke kereta park kat masjid tu. Strong finish la kunun. Tima masa tu pukul 11:05.

Sampai kat kereta kat depan entrance Souq, semua orang ushar semacam jer. Tak pernah tgk orang lari tgh panas ke? Then after yam seng 100plus, urut kaki sikit, decided to mandi lah. Where? At the mosque. Ada bathroom! Bestlah! Jadilah buat segarkan badan. Lepas tu pegi makan kat Nando's Souq. Nampak a few people pakai baju Powerman dok makan kat San Fransisco. Aku pakai baju Ironman. Lagi besh! hahah.... (Baju je best. Orangnye tak.)
Kesimpulannya? Memang bes lari kat Putrajaya tapi kalau tau jalan betul lagi best la kut. Takpe, there's always next week. And I got my tan, thank you.
