Eco-X-Capade 17 April 2005, Gopeng Perak (Part 2)

cont'd from above....spookey...







Many thanks to our Bossley, Chi, for being a really supportive unseen member of the Angels' team! We almost had to camp overnight at the race site after the race coz his car keys somehow found its way to the boot....but miraculously appeared again! Big "phew"!

Ming's succinct description of this race : "There was quite a bit of non-runnable terrain (except for Malaysians), unrideable uphills and a 1 1/2 hour floaty log down the river. The ropework was higher and more scary (more fun!) than anything else we've ever done! Very fun race!" Makes for very nice photos too!

I give Ming a big nod for that summary. The nightmare started when we entered the act-like-a-log-and-float-bit-down-the-river bit which seemed like a neverending flush down an extremely slowmoving toilet bowl. I remembered trying to stay afloat as long as I could and using me arms to pull myself along, sometimes doing a little horizontal rockdiggin. U can't imagine how silly that seemed when the person next to you stands up on feet-deep water and starts to walk past ya! :P
