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...

What you look like after completing a duathlon

Okay, not everyone looks this happy but he was one of the top five for the men's open - good reason for the smile on his face.

The mark of the cyclist - caution tan lines ahead

You can tell the serious cyclist at a glance.

Check for the tan lines - like these or on the upper arm.

Despite the free flow of sunblock during the warm up, the UV rays are pretty strong.

The Duathlon, It is not without its dangers

MUDS 2008 is a heck load of fun but there are dangers as this is a competitive sport.

Here is an example of what can happen in the adrenaline rush.

Thanks to the racer who allowed her injuries to be photographed.

The pix taken in the forest/Rimba Ilmu are pretty cool - if you're one of those captured leave a messaage in or if you know the racer who was photographed invite them to take a look.
