Would love to join you for cycling but currently I'm packing up and don't really have time. usually i ride around my housing area, Setia Alam. Lovely place, less traffic (Klang Pacer's organizing a half marathon here in June I think). I hear people say Uncle Chan (one of the triathlon pioneers in Msia) brings ppl for cycling every weekend and train them. Perhaps you should contact him to get yourself started for the next race. Go for the PD one. There's not many Tri-s in Malaysia so if you miss the last Tri, u gotta wait for at least half a year into next year. Kenyir is the open season for this year.

eugene: Are you aware of the Setia Alam Fun Run in June 09 (4.8km).

Is Xterra (in Kuantan) something like Tri? I know someone who just signed up.

is 10km at 56mins good?

is 10km at 56mins good?

Thanks man, yeah go for the malakoff one. I wish I could go for the PD TRI but I'm leaving for Aus soon. I heard there's one half-ironman in Ptrajaya in June also but I cant make it as I'm leaving next month to work.

Check out http://www.triathlonmalaysia.com/ for more details. Uncle Chan's contact is also in there. They are upgrading now so you gotta check back in a week or two.
No la, I was hoping to finish by 3hrs but due to tyre puncture I lost precious time. But I'm still happy I managed to finish it
Thanks ccube, this is my first and last but I hope to do more in Australia when their season opens in summer.

I'm doing 7 km runs every alternate day currently, working towards my 10k target. I run for fitness, its part of my cross-training for rowing. My old puma trainers are on the verge of disintegrating, so i'm looking for another. I know i need cushioning n i have neutral feet. Only problem is that i have a RM300 budget limit (still a student). Is there anyplace i can find a Adidas Response Cushion 17 or something close to it for under RM300? I want the best bang for my buck. Thanks in advance for the advice guys. 

vishagan: I am a begineer runner but I just bought a pair of shoe. I think Brooks, Saucony, Asics, etc are within your range if you know where to get them. NEVER pay full price.

I just bought Brooks Adrenaline GTS9 (about RM300). I will look at Saucony Hurricane 10 (slightly more tan RM300) in near future as spare/alternative shoe. I was advised that the running shoe needs to rest and breathe as well.

Just google them out for their reviews.....Their website have this shoe advisor to help you to make an informed decision. Try www.brooksrunning.com. There is even an video to explain your running stride, etc.....

Good luck in your search......

hi runner..1 question...do u guys own a HRM??if yes...which type of HRM are u using?..the normal type or strapless type?

Is Xterra (in Kuantan) something like Tri? I know someone who just signed up.

I'm using Timex HRM Trainer, cheaper than Suunto. Well, after discount at least. I got mine from a shop in Midvalley for about RM360. There are cheaper Timex models, but it was way too basic. Polar also have some very basic models (can just show HR readings with alert, cannot set Ur training zones, etc) for less than RM300. I've damaged the watch two weeks ago after a motorbike accident coming home from gym (I hit the back of a 1-ton truck). Scratches on the watch, but lucky I can still press the buttons. Pretty tough...

Swimming, Mountain biking, Trail run.

So, you can see it as the "offroad" Tri.

They are on FB. Check them out

=P dont la so humble..

you are fit man tall too haha.  er...cant remember as u were zooming by and I was on the walking pavement hahahaha

d3vilzzzz,  u can do a speed trial this weekend if u r doing the Oren Run.  Try to push for a 55mins over 11k.

Good luck in Oz land.  which part are you going?  Do let me know if you still nee dto try out the Saucony b4 you leave, else I think you can try out the shoes down under.  Catch the off season ones during sales if you dont mind as those shoes can be a steal, especially ASICS.

thanks man. and so sorry i wont be able to get a pair from you now and circumstances has changed. i have 4 pairs of shoes (running, casual, bike, formal) to bring to Oz and a bike. I'm so gonna exceed my weight limits of 20kg. damn..

anyone ever exceeded their weight limits on MAS? i heard they charge exhorbitant excess baggage. is that true?

i had a fren who went just last yr..
i sent him off, he had excess of I tink maybe around 10kg? they wanted to charge him RM200++ (but i do think it was way way more)
i  m sorry i can't really rmbr the exact price 

where can i park my car for the Orange Run? not sure the Curve there..
