On 15th March I have attended Amazing Race Clinic conducted by the leading Adventurous training company Wilderness Malaysia. This is my first experience attending such Clinic or better known as workshop. Finding places at Putrajaya is big headache, the signboards are just meant to be there but not the places. !!!

After much rounds , reversing on the highway and burning fuels unnecessarily manage to find Putrajaya Wetlands. Im amazed enjoying the virginity of the nature, it is untouchable and amazing. Never know a jungle existed in the middle of the globe with such fascinating wonders !!

Wilderness Malaysia is organizing Adventurous Race on 3rd May, Langkawi. This is competition consist of of Kayaking, Running, Mountain Cycling, Collections of points and other mystery games to determine the winner. It is exhausting as racer need to complete 15-30KM of the whole race. The Clinic which also covers for Press Conference for various Media attracted atleast 30 racer including myself. Lafuma is the main resellers for gears, there are other items on display such as Tarp, Waterproof top, Helmet , Headlight and even survival mirror. Im fascinated to witness waterproof Matchbox !! The clinic taught us on the importance for Food & Hydration, calorie intake and water consumption. During this kinda of Adventure races forget about having nasilemak and roti canai , The foods are packaged into the size of chocolate Bars such PowerBars, GelFood and heed !! The topic touch the importance of Safety as the racers need to kayak at the rough seas unlike white water.

I manage to speak to few famous racers such as leah and Suhaimi (SEA game champion for Kayak), they are as stout as the mountain and very knowledgeable. I would say Im the only Indian among everyone, perhaps the news didn’t reach our community. Im very much interested to join the race however I have never done kayaking before, on top of that there will be no guidance, you need to study the barometer, nautical knots and maps on yourself !!! If you’re unlucky the waves might pull you further from Langkawi !!
