Its was 71.3km instead 60km trail run last week at Tmabunan Sabah.

The trail run of 60km was done over 2 days. It was a challenging, tough as participants need

to navigate & orienteering their way out from check point to check point.

on the 1st day the lead group took the wrong turn and ran 1 km off course before reliasing they were 'lost'

A miss calcuation and wrong orienteering, on 2nd day, cost steven a 1st place as he was leading till CP 5 , 15 minutes ahead on the 2nd runner. In the end he got 3rd placing.

It was a wet, muddy, hot run, the scenery of the kampong was beautiful and the friendly local folks cheers rhe ruuners.

Started at 8am and reach the peak at 11:45am..

The distance to the peak is nearer as compare via ulu langat but leeches are norm. I got 6 leeches bites...

If you wan challenging then hike via Ulu Langat as via Janda Baik, trek when its dry on on wet day.

As we were coming down its was raining the the trail was muddy (remind me of G Irau)

Those who didn't reach the peak via ulu langat 2 weeks ago, manage to the peak using the Janda Baik trail.

Met fellow participants who will be taking part in the event on April 21 - 24, 2011.
(Pixs will be posted soon)

Below is the email rec'd from Avtar on tips for the SAC as I met him in Singapore for the Pre Race Clinic.

Hi Tony,

It was good to meet you and thank you for making the huge effort to come down to Singapore for the clinic.

I hope you went away with a better understanding of what to expect and also what to prepare for as far as the orienteering is concerned.It will be a tough race for some people who have not put in the training and preparation ahead of time so I need to be very honest and blunt about this and that some people will break down mentally from the level of difficulty of the race course.

BUT, it is do-able even at a steady pace and a determined effort.

The key to completing the race course is to keep a steady pace and a comfortable pace and to keep your head down when you hit the hills and mountain tracks and to just focus on what is in front of you rather than looking up on ahead.

I find I am able to keep a good brisk walking pace when going up hill and conserving my energy for the flat parts where a competitor can run it.

Another IMPORTANT factor is also keep the weight of your pack down, to make sure you have adequate water (minimum 3L I think as some people are going to finish their water before they even get to the first water station).

The size of your pack (or rather making sure it isn't too big that it actually starts to weigh you down rather than fit snuggly on to your back and is nice and compact) is important.Some competitors are putting in the training now and the effort into getting the hours and miles into their training and are not going to do last minute sessions because it simply will be too late.

Taking time out on weekends and getting solid 8-10 hours of hills and trail runs/walks/brisk walks with the pack on and also a 3L water load is crucial in strenghtning your back, shoulders and legs as well as to get your body used to weight, pace and heat over the course of the 8-10 hours.Condition training is absolutely important at this stage and making sure you also select the right shoes is also important.

Road running shoes are not recommended as they are likely to get trashed over the course of the 3 days because of the sort of tracks, the gravel and rocks you will be running/hiking/trekking over so be smart in your selection.Speak to fellow competitors, get recommendations from people who have done the SAC before and speak to ultra runners who have done ultra marathons outside of Malaysia to get tips on what to bring/how to prepare etc.

Once again, if you have questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

very best wishes

Avtar
SAC Race Director

Children Camp at Sg Lepo Ulu Langat

2011-01-04T21:57:00.006+08:00

Pixs from Leng

On Dec 4 - 6, 2010, 18 children together with 7 volunteers camp at Sg Lepo Campsite Ulu Langat. The main coordinator was Mdm Wong.

This the 1st time the children going for camping and stayed in the tent.

Email from Mdm Wong

Dear parents and all,

After weeks of preparation and anticipation, the outdoor camp finally got under way . It was a great success and the children enjoyed it thoroughly.

18 participants signed up for the camp; out of which 7 were non-members. Many of the Youth Club members could not attend because it coincided with their own holiday plans.

Except for one or two kids, many of them have not been to an outdoor camp before. So it was more like a discovery trip for them. On the day they arrived, Sifu planned some charade games for them. These games act as ice-breakers and help in their bonding. In the evening, the kids all helped out to get the BBQ ready. They had chicken wings, hotdogs, sweet corn, potatoes, capati and curry for dinner. With such a sumptious spread, the children soon had their fill and they quickly headed to the nearby steam for a dip in the cool clear water.

After breakfast on the 2nd day Tony put the children through some warm-up exercises. Then off they trooped into the jungle for a hike. Many of the children have never been into a tropical rain forest before. The undergrowth is thick, the air is humid and the ground is slippery. They had to cross streams; clamber over fallen tree trunks and suffer the bites of leeches. Some came back with grazed knees and sore bums but high spirits. These children are more resilient than we think! In the evening, Sifu taught them how to cook rice and vegetables using a mess tin. Many of them ended up with half-cooked rice; at least this is an improvement compared to their first attempt. During the indoor camp in June, all of hem burnt their rice. I think that with one more try, they would be able to cook perfect rice.

The children spent the night playing board games, congkak and UNO. Some girls pestered Sifu for some ghost stories. Sifu gave us a chilling account of his own experience. Very soon, nobody was interested in board games anymore and everybody was listening with rapt attention to Sifu. That night, the wind seemed colder than usual; or was it the presence of the unseen? I think the girls would now think twice before asking Sifu to tell ghost stories!

Throughout our 3 days with these kids, Sifu and I noticed that some children are very helpful and independent. Some are born leaders. But there some who are shirkers, some are pampered too much and some have very poor survival skills. With a few more camps, Sifu hopes to nurture them to be more independent and resourceful. In fact those kids who have been with us for the past few months have become more responsible and are given leadership roles.

Last but not least, would like to express our appreciation and thanks to Tony, Ms Leng, Hong, Jassy, Pk Si,Tan and Kuan for helping out with the kids. Without them, we could not have run the camp successfully. With 18 boisterous and hungry kids, Sifu and I would find it hard indeed to keep them in line. Tony and Ms Leng even took leave on Monday (7th Dec) to finalize the packing up.

Sifu will be away in Spore till 15th January 2011. Our youth activity will start on 16th January. I will keep you informed.

With metta,
Mdm Wong

PS. Leng, can you please forward this email to the other volunteers and the parents who are not in the email list?

============================ Wednesday October 20, 2010On a high to conquer Low’s PeakBy NG WEI LOON
ENDURANCE fitness buff Tony Quay will be out to accomplish a more gratifying end in his second appearance at the 24th Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon on Oct 23 and 24.
After failing to make it to the Low’s Peak in his debut last year, the 51-year-old is returning to compete in the men’s veteran (above 40 years) section on the opening day (Oct 23) of the meet.
This time, the determined Tony is aiming to fulfil his target of reaching the 8.72km mark within the stipulated time of three-and-half hours before tackling the challenging descending return trip to the finish line near the Kinabalu Park headquarters.
Stepping up: The group comprising mostly first-timers is all set for the gruelling Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon. Tony admitted he had an agonising first outing when he suffered cramps on both his thighs one kilometre away from the summit (Low’s Peak).
“It was a painful experience to get back down especially when I was in such weak physical shape. Despite the fatigue, I knew that I should carry on walking at my own pace to the finish line. My condition would have got worse had I stopped,” he added.
And the upcoming excursion will be Tony’s 20th visit to Mount Kinabalu rated with net elevation of 1,866.4m from Timpohon Gate to Low’s Peak of 4,095.2m.
“I have gone up there 18 times on a leisurely pace. It will be a different approach in a race against time. I consider it more demanding than running the 42km distance on the road. But, I am prepared for this campaign. I began preparations in May. It is important to keep warm and hydrated to complete the downward journey in three hours in securing a hard earned recognition as a finisher,” said Tony, adding that his friend Yee Choi clocked 3’15 on the way up to finish with a respectable time of 5’23 last year.
Tony will be part of a large organised group from the Klang Valley comprising a total of 45 entries leaving for the three-night and four-day trip on the eve of the race day.
On the right track: E.K. Tee (front) leading the pack followed by Leong during one of their outings to Gunung Nuang in Hulu Selangor. They will be making an attempt to finish the race within the qualifying marks.
For the more competitive men’s open race on the final day (Sunday), the competitors will have to reach the summit within two-and-half hours before heading down in not more than two hours (total of four-and-half hours).
Meanwhile, the women participants will be featuring in the race as the veterans with similar regulation time (within the period of three-and-half hour up followed another three hours down) a day earlier (Saturday).
The group’s co-ordinator K.C. Leong said the group, comprising mostly first-timers, are excited about embarking on their adventure at the event.
“We have set personal targets according to our respective abilities. Most of us enjoy long distance running and trekking over the weekends. We realise that it is going to be an uphill task for us to make the cut. Several of us have been taking part in various full marathon road races. But, we will need to overcome another two more elements for the Mount Kinabalu climb. The altitude and the cold weather are the additional two tricky factors. It is amazing that we have worked up the courage to get to the starting line,” he added.
Besides their regular training sessions at Gunung Nuang in Hulu Langat and Batu Caves in Gombak, they have also competed in two series of the Negri Sembilan climbing circuit.
They took part in the event at Gunung Datuk in early April followed by Gunung Angsi at the beginning of May as a build-up to the much anticipated Mount Kinabalu challenge.
