Bukit Cinta Ultra 2016

Date: 3 Dec 2016
Location: University Malaya, Kuala Lumpur
Format: 12 Hours loop around 5k, elevation gain of 80m

Check Points in front of Dewan Tunku Canselor

I just finish an exam in the morning. Having say that it mean i lack of sleep and i don't even pack my bag yet. After exam i went back home and starting packing my bag and testing my equipment. Found my ear phone faulty so i have to go to purchase a new one. After finish the packing it is already 4:30pm. I have my quick dinner and then travel to University Malaya, and reach about 6pm.

Race start on time at 8pm. Overall it is tougher than Putrajaya 16H because of the elevation gain. It overall easy loop until I hit loop 6 where I felt very sleepy and have to stop to sleep for 30 minute.

Pushing up the hill

After wake up I continue until loop 10 where I felt the cramp on my right calf muscle. To avoid further worsen of the cramp, i start to use walk run methods.

The last 4 loops are mostly done in walking. Totally unexpected outcome. Anyway it is a good experience and below show the good and bad that i done in the race:

Goods:

1. Able to continue for 12 Hours. Able to overcome the bore. 

2. Able to eat four pieces of cake.

3. Overcome chafing and ignore it. 

4. No soreness on shoulder. Able to keep the good running upper body form.

5. Using mp3 player at start from loop 10.

6. Able to use the same shoe and sock for the whole race.

7. Only re apply vaseline at the body except for foots. 

Bads:

1. Cramp on right calf muscle, mostly due to my ignore the 1 pack ORS/ hour rule.

2. Definitely need more strength training

3. Didn't bring along water bottle in first few loops. Cramp maybe due to the earlier dehydration. Need to ensure always bring bottle even loop is short.
