Last minute signed up the National Dualthon Trial 2019 in Supersprint Event at Sepang F1 Circuit.
Was planning to go there and support my athlete Nigel and Jun Han. Since I have my bike with me as I rode to Publika from UM this afternoon for my weight training session and follow Jun Han's mum to Sepang, I decided to ask the organizer if I can take part on it.
.
As there were extra bib, therefore I decided to take part. It's a 2k Run (2 loops), 8k Bike (1 big and 1 small loop the F1 Circuit) 1k Run (1 loop).
.
It was a really great golden opportunity to race with Malaysia Top Duathlete and other country Representative like Singapore here in this dualthlon.
.
Went and follow them for a bike route familiarisation at 5.10pm.
.
Trying my best to learn the gear shifting, doing the sharp turning and some technique on wearing the helmet and pull the bike out and push through the transition area and quickly ride on it. It's been long time I didn't ride bike and I just collected the bike on last Friday after it got fixed.
.
Race started at 6.30pm, my initial plan is to come back 1st in the 2k run and do my best to stick with the first Peloton later on. I came back first with a few seconds gap. Quickly went in and put on the helmet and push the bike out from transition. Managed to come out quite fast and leading for the first straight line.
.
After a turn, the Singaporean duathlete and Chong, Nigel came and overtook me, then followed by Ziq and Edwin. I was on my own later on.
.
After awhile, Azwan came and lead me. Until a sharp turn, I managed to overtake Azwan as he went out too fast and off the course, then he made his way back to the course.
.
Then I was on my own after the first Peloton as they flew away very fast. Trying my best, shifting some gear pedaling and chase them and they just getting further and further.
.
Came back for the last km run on 6th position, and the first 5 already 300m away. Giving my best effort to chase and in the end manage to close down the gap between the runner in front but still couldn't catch up.
.
Ended up with a 6th placing out of 19 Athletes. Quite happy with it too! @ Sepang F1 International Circuit
