The hotel's name is Pullman. Weird name i know..but it is a really nice place for a hotel and it was so clean. Then we go look for the volunteer manager but couldnt be reached and found..so we spoke to an official which told us what to do and asked us to eat 1st..but we couldnt eat because we had no tag..and khai sim was quite pissed off. So we got nothing to eat even though we ate before we came..but no matter..
Then we were briefed by the same official and was told to let the ironman participants go into the tent if they wanted to rest or change. Our jobs were really simple since we had no head to watch over us..since they all went to rest due to they stayed the night and havent sleep...so we took over them even though we didnt spent the night before. Eventually we did get our tags..
Mine lol
I really gotta salute these participants, real heroes. Swimming for 1.9km then a 90.1km bike journey and end with a 21km run. Plus this is just the qualifiers. The real one you have 3.8km swim, 180km bike journey and 42km run which will be in Langkawi . The first person to finish was a french i think..after 3 hours since 8am and the last came in i think around 3-4pm
Long story short, we had laughs and took quite alot of photos and sunburns..i got mine on my neck and face..and pics are not with me. Most of them are with Khai Sim and Yin Yee. So at 4+ we could already leave after they gave us any stuff they could salvage for us since we didnt spent the night for our help yesterday..
Then..we waited for the bus outside the hotel which did not came after an hour. so fed up of waiting and the thought of never going home..we walked. we thought by walking we could eventually see a bus..but it never came..there was a taxi..but it wont fit all of us..
It is a good thing I saw the police car and stop them to ask for directions..if not we would be lost forever..so we walked and walked...for 3 whole hours..who knew precinct 7 was damn bloody far and our legs were like so bloody tired..but we still continued walking.and Khai Sim kept taking pics
Boon Yen had his GPS but to make sure..i called RK, which confirmed the way..
when we reached Putrajaya Sentral..there was a huge sigh of relief and Boon Yen kissed the ground. so we rested and took the U43 bus which is rm1.90 to kj station which we should have taken in the 1st place than listen to the organizer...
and that is the day i will never forget.
note to self : Kill Khai Sim :P
