Oren Sport Klang Run (Part 2)

So lepas solat, kitorang pun change ourselves to the official T-shirt. Terang sangat baju tuh sebab color dier kuning with a few sponsors logo at the front. The material quite comfy jugak, so no complaint-lah from us yang bayar RM30 and RM25 for the registration.

Dah habis tukar baju, kitorang pun berjalanlah side by side with the other participants yang mostly baru sampai jugak to the venue. Semua pun pakai the official T except for a few of them yang pakai singlets/T-shirts which I believe from the previous race that they have joined. Nampak pun dasat2 jugak diorang nih especially yang owners betis2 keras ala2 Mo Farah gitu (ni surely the elite runners of the event). Nice~

By the time kitorang masuk the main gate of the stadia, the crowd pun dah nampak beribu yang standby atas track. Ada yang warming up, ada jugak just borak2 with their colleagues and tak kurang jugak yang awal2 lagi dah siap beratur mengadap trak air Vico untuk mengalas perut dengan air coklat sejuk yang lazat di pagi hari.

Lepas reporting to one of the secretariat booth, kitorang pun bersiap-siap dengan larian warm-up until an announcement from the PA system jelas kedengaran memanggil all the 12k runners untuk bergerak ke starting point for the 7.45am release. And hati ana pun start dup dap dup dap (tp till feeling confident lah).

The Starting Point

Standing side by side with all the other runners adalah satu perasaan yang tak dapat nak digambarkan setelah sekian lamanya ana bertraining secara lone ranger. Semua feeling letih, malas, takut, or senang citer semua yang negative2 lah, macam baru kena flushed away by this excitement and happy feeling. Serious rasa best!~~

Anyhow, this feeling was abruptly being brought back to its reality when ada abang sorang nih tanya pukul berapa that very moment. Unfortunately for him, ana dah pun sensor-linkedkan sportwatch ana for the run. So terpaksalah abang nih tercari2 to his right crowd if there's anybody yang tak setkan their stopwatch for the run.Cari punya cari, akhirnya terjumpalah one chinese guy yang without hesitation or even thinking terus show jam kat tangan dier. ;-)

Few minutes of waiting then passed before one big siren tertiba terbunyi. Luckily it was a false alarm sebab the VIP was doing a "cuba-try-test" moment with his blower. Obviously feeling sama2 anxious, the starting crowd pun reply him with a 'friendly boo gesture' just to stir the environment further. Hahaha...funny2..

However so, a quick 2nd siren pun dibunyikan lepas 5 kiraan by the VIP yang berdiri kat dalam bucket of a crane, parked kat tepi jalan.

Ttteeeeeeett!!

And off we go!
