Remaja > UPNM Hebat Dalam Acara Duathlon

Yeah! MUDS08 story still comes out.. This time it's from the Remaja magazine, Oct 08 issue..

Duathlon gets more acknowledgement while Powerman Malaysia 2008 is just around the corner..

MUDS nurtures more interest, more talents.. Duathlon is definitely growing in Malaysia.. Thanks to MUDS!!!

MUDS08 saw Potential PowerMan and PowerWoman Elites

RUN!!!

BIKE!!!!

WIN!!!!!

Hey guys! Remember in MUDS08 we encountered the one we can say as the most consistent du-er of the event? She took part in all three legs of MUDS08 and won all 3 races in Women's Open category.

We're pleased to wish all the best to Malaysia's national duathlon elite, Mariana Mohamed who will be competing in upcoming Malakoff Powerman Malaysia 2008, which is going to take place in Sri Manjung, Perak on November 9, 2008. Wish Mariana will get better position than the incredible 4th place, which she got in 2007.

Hopefully, all du-ers will compete in Malakoff Powerman Malaysia 2008, make this only internationally accredited duathlon event in Malaysia grow, show the world that we are a beautiful country with large "duathletic" citizens.

The Rimba Ilmu Pix - Part 2

Here's the second set taken after the top place finishes had come back; and some of them decided to cool down by running through Rimba Ilmu again.



And as the Sam has mentioned I've a new lens and have been practicing but its a lot harder to keep steady.

All the best to all racers and support team members for tomorrow!

The Rimba Ilmu Pix

In response to the request for the pix from the last leg taken in Rimba Ilmu, here they are:



Lots of grimaces, however so many of you perk up and smile for the camera - appreciate it.

And if there are more pix of the UPNM racers thats because they ask so politely 'Ma'am please take my photo' and they always remember to say 'thank you'. There's a lot to be said for military education.

And to the young man who called me 'auntie' - it's 'ma'am' to you, mister!

More pix in the next post.

Preparation for the Finale

To share with you how serious is the preparation of this finale from the PR consultant......

New sport zoom lens for the camera has been invested.

So ladies & gentlemen, don't forget to smile when you see her.

"say cheese" [better practice the smile now :-)]

Stats > Second Leg at UM Steadily Drew More Attention

Hoorey, we're so pleased that the second leg of MUDS held at UM was conceivably more "happening"... There were more participants and also more supports... We could see parents and family members cheering, participating best friends sightseeing in Taman Rimba as well as a few participating "couples" enjoying the lovely atmosphere across the "Bukit Cinta"... By several means, thanks also to the previous leg held at UKM, which stimulates the interest of more passionate du-ers and enthusiastic supporters in UM... Hopefully this will continue to rise ahead of the finale...

Here's the encouraging fraction of participants according to the category:

Men's University - 60

Women's University - 14

Men's Open - 115

Women's Open - 32

Men's Relay - 15 teams

Mixed Relay - 15 teams

Media - 8


TOTAL Individuals = 229

TOTAL Teams = 30

TOTAL PARTICIPANTS = 319

You see the statistics and let's call for more participants especially the women and university students...

Give your supports and feel the excitement...
