With the maiden XTERRA done last weekend (6/6 – 7/6)I can finally settle down doing my own things (as for now!). No more traveling for event promos and races and no more hassling the suppliers and printers. It a blast of an experience for being able to be part of the XTERRA Crew. I initially signed up in the age group cat only to be alerted by Shazly that he needs another person to help out. So there I was with the team, working together. As the work expectation builds up, I find less time for myself. Time as in time for training. How do I juggle this. Pretty different when juggling between academics and training. 😛 Nevertheless, I learnt a lot, and gained a lot. Getting to know my triathlete friends from the professional working side. To Zafrul, Shazly, Nadia, Geoff, Azmar, Stupe, Bandit, Nazri, Kharis, Senn, Aileen, Ariff and everyone in the team , thank you and congratulations to all of you !
I manage to do 3 races throughout my involvement in the XTERRA Malaysia.
1. NB15K (1:31) supa sloww,but love the hills la !
2. SAS Eco Challenge- Bera(8th place…body torchering mind blowing experience) and
3. JB City Eco Challenge (my team came in 6th).
Thanks to the organizers for allowing us to promote XTERRA at your event !
To all sponsors, athletes, volunteers and whoever is directly or indirectly involved in making this event a success, I on behalf of the XTERRA Malaysia would like to express our endless appreciation and thanks.
Personal note to my Kuantan friends who put in their effort to help out; Azrul, Aman, Fid, Bern, Abe Din and Alang. Thanks guys !!
To fellow athlete friends who took part in the race, I on behalf of the crew would like to apologize for all the hiccups throughout the event process. Your sincere and positive comments are highly appreciated and you can always email us at info@xterramalaysia.net or contact me at julie@xterramalaysia.net
Whatever happens after this will be improvement and improvement, insyaAllah.

8.Friday – still alive and kickin..blocked nose @ night. cant breath !
9. Saturday afternoon-feverish…blocked nose.. twist and turn to clear the nasal cavity !!!! Sat eve – bike check in. Saturday night; fever getting worse. Had to make that ultimate decision ; not to race tomorrow morning. Even if I had the energy to finish the distance I don’t think I would have enjoyed it. Right?!
10. Sunday. missed the race, but was rushing to Indera Mahkota and back to TC and back to Vistana and back to TC again… work lah weii ! some sprint workouts there. LOL !
11. my uncle was there to watch the race. surprised to see me there..and surprised to know I do triathlons !!! hahaha…
12. late noon, settled volunteers’ fee. returned podium @ Indera Mahkota; i drove the big van. had problem with the pressing the clutch. sakit lutut !! (knee pain). but still alive and kickin despite the fever
13. evening ; chill at the beach with Scott. night ; already zonked, bonked.. damn.. this is nothing like Ironman. I didnt feel tired after crossing the finish line in Langkawi !
14. Next day; drove back to KL. gave up at r&r Temerloh. dozed off for an hour in the car- engine and Aircond. on
yeah, driving alone is quite challenging..
15. next day; missed class.
I’ve recovered already now. Thank God ! And now, I’m so ready to get some balls rolling ! Yes, Im excited as you are ! (are you?).. seems like the Triathlon and Duathlon season is only kickin’ off for me ! ahaha..

Okay peeps, i think datz it for now. I had a great week in Kuantan. No doubt about it. I love my life, and will keep on ensuring this life will be lovable right to the end. Life is short, so make the best out of it.
