Sunday morning would be going to church, had breakfast and return home to get the most sleep before the weekend ends. But today, I and another two fellow steemian had signed up for 8KM Labuan Bird Park Trail Run. Woke up at 5.30am, ate some two hard boiled eggs then hit the road to the Bird Park.
It is a race of 3KM on the road then 5KM hiking. I didn't manage to get some training nor any exercise beforehand because of work and most of it is because of my lazinessss.
Good enough, I managed to complete the trail run race unexpectedly without any cramps or injury. There was a moment where I no longer have any courage to continue and just stop at the middle of the hills and cry for help. Then deep inside a voice screaming says so long I can stand and walk I should not give up. Lucky for me, I had my sister who was willing to follow my pace ans stayed with me. Glad she did and for becoming my cheerleader and my photographer.
Here are few photos to share on how the trail run looks like. It's fun yet challenging la.
Below photo is where finishers gathers at shaded spots to rest. Some runners would stay for the lucky draw session and some would leave after some photo taking. In yellow T's are the organizers and volunteers. They chose the right color, easy to spot in case of any emergency.
Soon as we reach the finishing line and received our medals, proud moment strikes in. Taking photos with our medals is always a must. As of today, we can still smile and walk with pride for being the first half to complete 8KM trail race. But after 24 - 48hrs, muscles will start aching and that is when I will have difficulty to stand and walk. HAHA.
If you have yet to sign up any trail run, my kind advise is please get yourself prepared. Get some scheduled training and exercise to build your muscle. Don't be like me. NOT Advisable. You will regret if you think you can. You might finish the trail run race like I did but be prepared for the aftermath. You should not be like me going unprepared! Hehehe....
Anyways, wishing you all happy weekend. Hope you had your blast like I do.
Till then, Steem on.
