تضمّن أكثر من الوقت, الجنس يركض, ينهي, فنّيّة حبل عمل وأحيانا اجتاز بالكياك أو نهر يطلع. الجنس يخطّط منظمات يتلقّى عادة الطريق شهور قبل الجنس بنفسي. هناك [ا لوت] من أمان وهامش الخطأ أيّ هم يسمحون عندما يخطّ هم للجنس. هكذا, قال أنا, [سنغل-هنددلي], هو جيّدة أن يدخل جنس أيّ المنظمات يتلقّون خبرة مع! خبرتي مريضة في هذا جنس في [غبنغ] حيث المنظمات كانوا لذلك غيرأكيد بنفسي نحن كلّ نعرف كان الجنس كارثة. وعدّلت كافي, هم لم حتّى تلقّى بما فيه الكفاية صقال أن واقعيّا ادّعيت الجائزة بما أنّ الجنس بدأ ساعة فيما بعد غير أنّ ال يتوقّف وقت أثر. يقرأ حول هو هنا.
لخّص منظمة جيّدة أيضا أنت على كلّ أمان مظهر واستطاع بسهولة أجبت كلّك يقلق دون أيّ شك. أنا جدّا أوصيت أنت يتلاقى أيّ أجناس يتمّ جانبا بدويّة مغامرة وساويت لب منطقة بما أنّ هذا حزمة من جنس منظمات يكونون ال أكثر شرّيرة من الحصص بينما يضمن يتسابق أنت مع ثقة ويتلقّى أطنان الحالة لهو.
أنت عادة كنت يعطي جنس خريطة, جواز سفر وقائمة تفقد في الصباح من الجنس. هذا ال ثلاثة مواد مهمّة أكثر أنت ينبغي حرست. الجنس سيعطي خريطة أنت فكرة خشنة أين أن يذهب. يدقّق الجواز سفر أنت و [تمّت] ك?

آخر إشعار أنا أعطيت أن يحترم طبيعة. لا ب استخفّ طبيعة وقواته . حدث [ا لوت] الحادث عندما أنت تتمّ هكذا. ويفتح [أه] أجل, أعينك عندما أنت أثر يوقف, [مور وفتن ثن نوت], طريق علامات هناك ل أنت أن يرى, فقط أنّ نحن أحيانا أيضا عمياء أن واقعيّا يرىهم. استمعت إلى [تمّت] ك واحترمت بعضهم بعضا. فريقك فقط مثل قوّيّة بما أنّ الخطوة ضعيفة. Choose your teammate wisely, try to make sure all of you have about the same level of fitness, that way, the weak won’t feel that they are a baggage and the strong won’t get frustrated.
Keep in mind that adventure races are not just about brawn or how fit you are. More often than not, brains will play a part too. Imagine that you just ran the whole 10km inside the jungle, trying to find the next Check Point, then you were ecstatic when you saw the marshals waiting, but before you could get your passport chopped and signed, you need to complete some task, usually known as mystery test. Some could be hilarious and some could be tiring. The thing is, you have to be composed and use your head! The last adventure race i enter was last year in Ulu Langat, and I tell you, till today, I still laugh when I think back about that one particular mystery test. Read about it here.
Since I believe not all adventure races are organized in the jungle, the AXN series, is a good example. The chances of someone getting lost in the middle of KL are pretty unfounded, unless you are a Singaporean or not local. These races also give you the opportunity to do things you normally won’t get to do in the middle of the city. I am talking about abseiling down the flagpole in Dataran Merdeka, Abseiling down Berjaya Times Square, Doing rope traverse in the middle of KL Bird Park, eating worms as part of the mystery test, going around Federal Hill looking for obscure JKR numbered home address, counting light poles in some historical mansion along Jalan Ampang. It all spell fun, apart from pushing yourself to the limit.
While I do enjoy the nature races more than the urban landscape, I can’t help it but hope that AXN series will come back in the near future. Amongst the most outrages things I have done in adventure races was to abseil 2 rope length (that’s almost 200meters) in the middle of the heavy downpour looking over the Kinta Valley, Flying Fox inside Gua Kandu at breakneck speed, river boarding down Sungai Kinta with class 3 rapids and hoping no monitor lizards would come nibbling your toes, caving in total darkness and submerging 90% inside the cave’s river system to get to the other side.
Now, if you do not want to race, you can always start off by being a marshal. Being a marshal is not as easy as you think it was (or so i thought in the beginning) as there is a lot of things a marshal needs to do and it’s even more tiring and fun compared to the race itself, sometimes! I have a number of race marshaling experience but the best so far was last year’s Perhentian Island Challenge. Read about it here.
It has been a year since i took hiatus from Adventure racing as I am preparing for the biggest race of my life, this year’s IronMan at Langkawi. Do I miss adventure racing? Hell Yes, and that is with a capital F. But as luck would has it, I would want to concentrate on triathlon alone this year. Maybe after next year’s IronMan, i would start the adventure race again, and I know when that happens, it will just be like my first time. Orgasmic.
I hope this entry satisfy some of you that might be thinking and wondering what to expect in adventure races. Like I said, I am not any champion racer, I am just an average person like all of you, if I could do it, I bet all of you reading this could, and get hooked on it in the process!”
Look at the fellows standing behind. They were puzzling what the heck these two were doing!
You gotto know how to fix your bike when the worse happens.
But, you still can have great time running together with your good friends.
And not forgetting to pose for the camera.
Mun’s comment: Knowing Ee-Van is my honor indeed. Having him as the guest blogger is the icing on the cake. If not him, I probably will not have the insight of the adventure race. I spent about eight hours to select, edit and putting the pictures in these articles, but I bet Ee-Van has spent even more hours than me to get it done. Thanks, man!
