We were
flew to Langkawi via Fireflyz one day earlier and was brought to the race flag off location at Tangga

BDB CLIMB & RUN
For the BDB Climb & Run, we are challenged to climb 4287 concrete stairs (3.1km) to reach the peak of Gunung Raya and run downhill 15km. Oh my... this is challenging. Frankly, I love the climbing part, but not so much on the running downhill. You know running can get a little monotonous, well at least for me.
We kick-started our adventure at Hutan Lipur
Lubok Semilang around 8am. As expected, a few of the runners are running on a goal pace and was no where to be seen after a while.
Luckily, I have Kak Ella to keep me company. We take our own sweet time climbing the steps while enjoying the beautiful forest and taking pictures and selfie/
wefie. Some of them are lucky to spot giant Hornbill too.
Just keep on climbing... Never give up!
Stunning pic taken by Kak Ella. She
does learn some photography skills from her photographer friend.
Hehehe...
The climb was quite easy in the beginning, until 3060 stairs where it is much steeper and challenging.
We began to feel tired and shortness of breath, hence we pause for a little rest.
Finally..........
the last few stairs to the top.
Yay... I did it! It took me almost 2 hours to complete the climb challenge. So unfit of me!
Hahaha....
The scenic, breathtaking view of Langkawi.
As for the run, we only managed to jog for 2km before we call it a day.
Love the mist and fresh air.
Some of the incredible runners that completed the challenge. Wow.... I really got to salute them!
It was a memorable and fun experience with the fellow bloggers, runners, sponsors and organizer. Thanks for having me! XOXO
