28feb2010</title><content type='html'>This was the first time the FTAAA  organised a cross country race in Taman Lembah Kiara,Taman Tun Dr Ismail.The response was worse than last week's City Day run held in Dataran Merdeka. If it wasn't for the school children's participation,there would be less than 500 runners taking part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The initial plan of using the time chip system was scrapped and those who had registered earlier was refunded with rm10.00.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The run which was supposed to start at 7.45am was delayed for no apparent reasons.There were less than 100 runners in the men open category which offer 150 medals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quick dash (less one km)in the park along a beautiful lake and a fountain before runners were lead into the jungle trail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside the jungle,the route was not slippery due to the current hot spell.But it's narrow path in some part of the course that built a human traffic jam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a steep ascent for about 3km  before the path became flat and then all the way going downhill.There were two water stations and some marshals manning the run and a few young paramedics on standby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no idea of what sort ever will happen in this morning cross country.Some friends told me it was the same place that the X Salomon trail run was held last year and that provides me a picture of anxiety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My breathing was smooth with no heavy panting because for some part everyone seemed to be trekking instead of running.Overtaking was difficult especially with those sharp rocks and the emerged roots of rubber trees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luck wasn't with me this morning.I sprained my ankle again with about one km to go.It is hurting me  and will probably takes weeks for me to recover.A visit to a Chinese traditional masseur is the last thing i would ever wanted to do.Just imagine the pain i have to endure again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the pain,i managed to limp to the finishing line with a timing of 58m 24s for a 33rd position in the men junior veteran category of 6.2km.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/196737648730511742-3101972503648500066?l=kmtee516.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kmtee516.blogspot.com/feeds/3101972503648500066/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kmtee516.blogspot.com/2010/02/25th-ftaaa-cross-country-28feb2010.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/196737648730511742/posts/default/3101972503648500066'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/196737648730511742/posts/default/3101972503648500066'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kmtee516.blogspot.com/2010/02/25th-ftaaa-cross-country-28feb2010.html' title='25th FTAAA cross country -
