Makan @ Aliff Restaurant

The Fantastic Four plus Silver Surfer (Fairul) left for Kuantan on Friday. The rest of the group came on Saturday.

Peace y'all

We left the hotel around 6.15am and headed straight to TC Beach. Warmed-up a bit, gelak-gelak and then to the starting line.

Exactly at 7.15am, we countdown ourselves to start the race and then off we go....

* Here we go...

* Angah concentrating hard, nasib baik tak sakit jantung...

* Along, leading the pack

* Sikit lagi Alang

* I'm salsaing my way to the finishing line

* Good huh Jaya?

* Ayo, why so serious la Fairul?

* All smiles, Chan

* The Thing in action

The weather was ok. The route was quite hilly especially the last hill nak sampai to the beach. Tu yang rasa paling killer sekali. Water station had sufficient water supply, diorang kasi air Power yang warna merah tu and plain water. They had people waiting at junctions to guide us too. Good organiser.

Sikit lagi Chan

Yay, I made it

Smiling Jaya

Happy Along

Sampai jugak Angah

Halil wished he could fly to the finishing line

Seperti biasa our President sampai dulu, followed by The Thing, and then Fairul, Jaya, The Sexytary, Alang, Along, Angah and last but not least Halil. Hah, cam nak mampus rupanya dah masa sampai kat finishing line.

This race banyak surprised finish la. The usually fast runners, were struggling. I guess I know why, too much of Lemang, Ketupat, Nasi Himpit and Rendang. Ye la lepas raya kan.

Everyone received a medal. The medal kali ni memang lawa habis. Very unique.

*The SlowMovers plus plus

As soon as we arrived, the first thing that came into our head, was of course.... Air Milo. Yeaaa, line tak panjang. Orang tak ramai sangat. Sorang-sorang grabbed at least 2 cups of Milo. And few more after that....

We stayed on sampai habis event. And guess what, two of the SlowMovers got lucky and won prizes. Fuzahir dapat a bag full of Power stuff and the best one of all is Halil, dapat kasut Brooks. Caya la. First time lari 10k, finished almost as the last person but dapat one of the grand prize. Baru berbaloi. So lepas ni kena masuk banyak races lagi la ye.

That's it from Kuantan. Next race, November 11, Genting Trailblazer... yiakes...
