Ngae is supposed to be part of the group but due to his sponsorship with powerbar and been an elite, he will be invited to makan after the race and of course as a favorite to cross the line 1st among the rest of them. ( based of current perfomance ya). So Ngae is not in list ya....

Wei Kong - 2nd time taking part in the Langkawi Ironmen, so experience on his parts but fitness yet to be tested.... Been training secretly.. his strength - swim and bike.....

Eric - 1st time - 'dark horse' a never say die attitude, I won;t be surprised if he comes below 13hrs.. have improve tremendously especially in Swimming ...... his strength - Bike and running. If he's relax during the race... difficult to catch him. (He will miss Vivian, but not to worry, with latest technology, the event will be 'aired' live by Vin)

Heng - 1st time - a cool guy.. takes easy .. follow the 'hare and tortoise' principal slow and steady have improve. Strength - Swim and bike ( With Vin giving support hmm he might have the extra ummmppp... ...)

Dr Raymond - 1st time, well balance in all the disclipine, once he focus, susah to stop him lah...... A quite and soft spoken guy, strength on his bike and running.Doctor ma... kalo sakit... inject sikit than boilh jalan....

Siok Bee - 1st time - known as 'Iron Lady'...... have been regime in her training and known for her late burst ... strength - Bike and running.....have improved on her swim......

So... guys.. there you are s write up on the participants

Mt Murud end of April 08

Hi...

How about climbing the highest mountain in Sarawak end of april '08

To the people in Sarawak its called the Prayer Mountain,.

It will be 5 days 4 nites and will be staying in a camp and those keen have to bring sleeping bag.

I need 12 climbers only, and the ground cost is abt Rm600 exclude Air fare.

The flight is from KL to KK, then land transport from KK to Lawas, then 4 wheel drive to the base camp but will have a homestay before proceed to Mt Murud. It will 2 nites stay at Mt Murud. Food and accomodation have been arranged but the challenging part is to walk abt 7 - 10 hrs to reach the mountain depend one fitness.

It not like Mt KK ya.. , i have yet to climb but based on feedbacks i rec'd it challenging.

Let me know ... as after CNY i need to finalise..

btw my target for 2008 is to climb at least 2 -3 G7 mountains in Malaysia.

KL International Towerthon 2008

Yes... Yeoh have uploaded the pixs on the towerthon challenge yesterday feb 3.

Congrats to Shih Ming and Maryann came in 6th and 8th in the women veteran and with a commendable time of 20mins...

Total 1,600 participants took part in the race and its started in stages with the men open and follwed by the rest of the categories. It was a wet morning and a long long wait for Shih Ming and Maryann in getting thier winning purse.

Its due to protest by some runners and it was held back for a while..

This is the 1st time timimg chip been used and interesting to note that once you step on the mat your time will be taken and if the time is earlier than the starting gun sound you will be technically disqualified from the race. Therefore, in any races that use timing chip do not step on the mat before the race starts.

As for me, i took my time to climb up the 2.058 step.. and completed in 25mins well below my pb ie 17mins, anyway this time round the goodies bag is much better and the finisher medal.

So guys if u want the 2 ladies to belanja... hmm ask them ya... anyway both of them did well and hope more races they can win also heheh ... Next race is the KLIM '08..
