Speednez - Exceed your limit

Lately I have been taking SPEEDNEZ, its a energy boosting drink formulated with Ribose and Superfruits to enhance, optimize and maintain energy level throughout the day.

This product is new in the market and the company promoting this have supplied some samples for me to try out for the group that i took them to Mulu Pinnacles last 2 weeks and also for next week Mt KK climb.

The recovery period is ok, as i took after the climb down from pinnacles 12hrs gave to 2 climbers to try out and next day they felt better. Will try it out for Mt KK climb and also the powerman simulation.

What ingredients in Speednez.

Ribose :- 5 carbon sugar found naturally in all living cells in human body. It is used in the body to regulate the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy molecule of the cell and it is an essential ingredient in stimulating natural energy production.
Ribose are obtain by fermentation of glucose.

Superfruits :- refer to the fruits which are high in nutrient and antioxidiants. Speednez contains Mangosteen and Acai which are both high in antioxidants properties.

Hmm will be discussing with the company on sponsoring the team for Mt KK climbathon end of Oct.

Price : A box of 20 sachets RM50

Before heading to Pinancles

Getting ready to Camp 5

The Pinnacles

Mulu Pinnacles..... total hrs ascend descend 12 hrs.. 1st to reach the peak and last to reach back the camp 5.

It was a cool morning when started to hike Pinnacles.. as we started the journey at 6:45am, i took the lead and siew, ker Shing and Dathnie followed my pace, the 2 nd group were with Lawai(guide) and Eddie was accompanied by Jenny (guide).

At 9:30am , we reach the 1st ladder where the cut off time is 11am. 17 ladders to climb .. it just 400 meters to the Pinnacles but time taken for average climbers abt 1 hr. 95%he of t will be using the 4 limbs.

abt 10:15am, i reach the pinnacles..15mins later Siew, KS & Dathnie arrived and were amaze with the pinnacles formation. abt 10 mins later a grp of hikers whom we met at Camp 5 arrived (from NZ) were relieved when they reach the peak and amazed also. We sat for an hr busy taking pixs..at 12pm, the 3 ladies started to descend while I waited for the rest of the climbers.

Fred, Chong and Ng arrived at 12:30pm, they were the last to arrived. we started to descend 30 mins later and arrived at Camp 5 at 6:45pm as the 3 were totally exhausted.

It was a gd experience for the climbers .. Eddie didn't reach on time to the 1st ladder but king enough to cook dinner for the grp.

Left Camp 5 next day to the park.

Visiting the show caves and seeing the bat odus were part of trip and the grp really enjoyed.

Mulu Pinnacles - Aug 28 - Sept 1

Pinnacles

On the way to Camp 5 by boat


'No way i going back again' these are some of the hikers whocame down from the pinnacles at Camp 5 ... but the next day hmmmm different song ahhahah..

I was the last to reach back at Camp 5 , total 12 hrs as we started at 6:45am.

Was the sweeper for Fong, Lai Chin & Fred as they reach the pinnacles at 12:30pm and i was waiting for them for 2hrs 30mins.

It was really a challenging climb for all them as they didn't expect the terrain and the time coming down is much longer than going up.

So if you keen to climb the pinnacles, train at Tabur A & B for 2 months and will be ready for the climb as it technical esp the last 400 meters. 100% focus.

pixs will upload soon...

Nxt year MULU summit 24km from the National Park to the peak.
