Assalamualaikum !!! 3rd Penang International 12Hour Walk.. one memorable and interesting event !!! Been taking part in runs the past 4-5 years..but never a walk !!! i didn't get much sleep the night before.. in the morning woke up 9ish.. and by 11 had to get ready to collect t-shirt and number.. walked around 3km before reaching Esplanade...phew....sweating tak ingat ponya.. it was so hot and terik !! the walk thru Argyll Road, Lebuh Chulia and Lebuh Light was an interesting one.. hehe.. macam2 boleh tgk .. Penangites busy with their daily activities.. and despite the availability of a road map, i still need verbal assistance.. 'Uncle, how do i get to Esplanade'...'Excuse me aunty, macam mana mau pigi Padang Kota?'.. (baru tau padang kota and esplanade refers to the same place..)..patutla aku cari Esplanade kat map tak jumpak...ciss...
the registeration went smoothly..i came in early, and there were so many people.but the crowd eventually built up..no familiar face.. checked my name at the start list outside the building, and then proceed to the counter.D542..deposit (for time chip) RM20..took my shirt,number,booklet..Had lunch at one of the mamak's.. so hungry !!!! the ayam madu so tasty !!!!!!!! haha.. must come again ah..
so back to the room.. managed to nap kejap..5ish already getting ready.. 5.30pm set off..6pm already there.. but this time took a shorter route..lalu area E&O Hotel, Lebuh Farquhar.. sampai sana, dah rama orang...hehe...and yeay...a few familiar faces !! pacesetters from KL !! saw tey,jamie pang,ms foo sook ying,to name a few..
the walk started on time.... no rush..gun went off...and the participants started walking..hihih... semangat,...1st time kan..the guy standing next to me ..(encik halim...or wahid...wahid rasanye..)..regular participant in walking comp.. his advice to me : walk as much as possible... jangan tidur ! and jangan berhenti lama sangat for the food and drinks.. thatz what i did beginning from the first lap... no food and drinks until the 1st hour is over.. basically i only stopped hourly at the food station..giler banyak food.. u can wallop as much food and drink as u can..huhu.. if only they could provide power drink instead of 100plus.. cold and sweet !! but then again, better than nothing kan ! surprisingly i didnt get sleepy after midnite..just kep walking..my own pace.. checking out other walker's style of walking 12hours.. huhu... 12 midnite...nightmate blisters arrived.dah letak dah plaster to wrap some of d toes..but need more ! stopped kat st.johns ambulance kejap coz d extra plaster which i brought not enough !!  continued walking without much problem..i couldnt pace with anyone coz everyone in their own time zone.. with they i could only last for 500m with him..i think..
0200 hours : started to get a lilll bit sleepy.luckily they provided coffee.. at the rest tent area, could already see people lepaking, taking their time to chill those joints and muscles.some of them dah sampai cloud 9. me?? continue jalan until the last second.i'm not sure if i was pushing myself..could never tell the limits of my muscles until ........
0500 hours : condemn.........
