KLIM route map吉隆坡馬拉松路線圖


這將是今年吉隆坡馬拉松的路線圖,與去年一樣,最大挑戰將從第30公里處開始。屆時人車爭道,不過有警察叔叔在維持交通,照顧參賽跑友,只是車輛的煙,就可要忍一忍啦!

以下是吉隆坡馬拉松的官方網站,若有跑友要進一步了解,可以進去看看,有不明白者,可以讓我知道。

Relax run 260206

Time :7.30am
Date:26.2.06
Duration:1h51m06s
Condition:After heavy raining more than 3hours,I woke up at 7am,prepare myself to sunday final LSD,but not in lake garden.I change my plan to TTDI.It was nice cooling weather,met and chat with some gang I met,like Gavin Bong who will take part in KLIM half marathon.I ran two laps of TTDI 4.5km route.Both of my legs felt good,no pain,old shoe NB 753 also ok,no much problem like NB 1060.These will my final LSD before KLIM,following days will be more relax,hope can preparing my condition in the best for coming KLIM challenge.

今早下了兩場雨,凌晨兩點多一下子就停了,可是三點半下了一場三小時多的大雨,讓我與其他跑無法如期在早上六點於吉隆坡湖濱公園開跑,原本今日是最後一次LSD,以準備迎接下週日的吉隆坡國際馬拉松。

結果一些好友因下雨拖延時間,我只好跑去附近住家一個跑步小山練,由於天空依然陰天,沒有太陽晒,所以一圈小山的斜坡4.5公里路段,我就跑了兩圈,然後再跑回家,速度是以輕鬆配速跑,避免受傷,志在出出汗,以及保持最後個一個倒數週末的LSD。

今早穿New Balance 753舊鞋,感覺雙腳還好,我想我可能在吉隆坡馬拉松穿起這雙舊鞋參賽,避免1060影響我的比賽狀態。

接下來數日將進行調整,特別是最後兩三天將會全日休息,養足精神,期待將狀態調整至好以迎接這一場今年第一馬的挑戰。

After Jalan Duta about 26km,I was still pace with Phyllis,while Ching Tai was infront of us about 100metres,and CCHOO trailed behind about 100 metres too.Others went ahead liao.

Date:17.2.06

今日決定休息,雙腳肌肉覺得狀態很不錯,準備週末的長跑,雖然今日覺得狀態不錯,不過心情有點低落,這是起起伏伏的人生,所要經歷的。

經歷朋友的事,人生得到很多的啟示,但願遙遠的這位朋友能在挨過苦日子後,展開胸懷迎接亮麗的下半生。

對我而言,我只有獻上深深的祝福。

林義傑世界超馬奪冠 Kevin Lin is world Champion !

轉載自台灣中時電子報

曾文祺/綜合報導 2006-02-02 01:50

第一屆世界極地超級馬拉松世界冠軍Made in Taiwan!

經過七天六夜兩百五十公里長征,世界四大極地超級馬拉松賽最終站「南極超級馬拉松」,在台灣時間二月一日清晨六時落幕,林義傑取得第三名並以「戈壁超級馬拉松賽」第三名、「智利阿他馬加寒漠超級馬拉松賽」第一名、「埃及撒哈拉超級馬拉松賽」第二名的積分,獲得首屆世界超級馬拉松四大巡迴賽總冠軍,也完成了將青天白日滿地紅國旗送到南極的任務。

迎戰冰風暴 歷經大風浪

賽前林義傑沒有足夠的時間與經費進行低溫的訓練,所幸萬能技術學院老師陳柏齡贊助一系列南極生態環境影片,讓他能預先透過影片熟悉當地的情況。賽前他利用在台灣時幾次寒流來襲的機會,穿著短褲、短袖在戶外練習,甚至上七星山、清境農場感受低溫,但這些遠遠不敵南極一刮風就降到攝氏零下二、三十度的情況,所以,他在一月二十六日第一站時就受了風寒。

林義傑的冰原歷險記,磨難非常也收穫極大。

他碰上南極半島刮起的大風雪,風速約有每小時一百公里,讓溫度驟降至攝氏零下三十四度,大會人員與選手被迫暫停繼續比賽,借住在Esperanza阿根廷研究站臨時搭建的伙食房裡;而在移動的過程中,乘坐的是橡皮艇,一有風浪就像電影中看到的劇情一樣搖搖晃晃;一度乘坐了十二個小時,吃盡苦頭。

暈船又感冒 單站拿第一

到了南極賽事第三站,所有選手經歷過四十個小時的冰風暴,加上十二個小時乘風破浪的折騰,於一月三十日早上抵達第三站的南雪特蘭群島之火山地型的迪斯伯遜島。

此役林義傑在感冒與暈船身體不適下,於單站四十二公里馬拉松的賽程拿下單站第一。

此趟冰原歷險記讓林義傑印象深刻的,就是邊跑邊看數百隻企鵝圍繞的奇景,他還拿著自己的大小便(因為南極是不允許有「人造」的污染),以及目睹有如「明天過後」電影的情節,瞬間進入冰天雪地的風暴中。

台灣這陣子,除了籠罩在新年愉悅的氣氛中,更增添不少好事,例如:李安導演入圍八項奧斯卡,還有林義傑送給台灣的「世界超馬王」新年禮物。

林義傑將於二月五日晚上九時五十分抵達台灣,接下來將準備今年九月挑戰人類首度徒步橫越六千公里撒哈拉沙漠壯舉。

此次冒險會由好萊塢影星麥特戴蒙之製片公司全程拍攝為紀錄片:Running The Sahara。

Kevin Lin, 28, Taiwan, Masters Degree Candidate in Sports PsychologyKevin is currently working towards his Masters Degree in Sports Psychology at Chung Cheng Uniersity in Taiwan. Before that he was a Physical Education teacher at a Taiwan high school. Kevin is an elite athlete and has been running since he was ten years old. He has completed many international marathon and ultramarathon events. Kevin won the Atacama Crossing in 2004 and placed second and third in the Sahara Race 2005 and Gobi March 2003, respectively. The Last Desert will be Kevin's fourth 4 Deserts event.


January 31, 11:00am -- The final stage has just begun with a 30 kilometer stage on King George Island. This stage is expected to take competitors over an ice glacier and through some small rivers before concluding at the coastline.

January 30, 8pm - Kevin Lin of Taiwan has won Stage 3 of The Last Desert, a 26 mile/42 kilometer marathon on Deception Island, a small volcanic island located in Antarctica. All competitors finished Stage 3 with Alasdair Morrison and Team Illinois finishing particularly strong.

Jan 30, 11am - Stage 3 has just kicked off on Deception Island, this will be a 42km stage. Weather conditions are currently ideal with partly sunny skies and mild temperatures.

January 29, 9am All competitors have finished stage 2, a 100 mile stage on Base Esperenza, except for three. Competitors now packing up and getting ready to return to the ship once the fog clears and winds subside. Once onboard, we will set sail for Deception Island for stage 3. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to the Argentineans on Base Ezperenza for allowing us into their home and giving us heat and shelter during the race.

January 28, 5pm Snow is now falling on competitors as they near the finish of a 100 mile stage on Esperenza, Antarctica. Scott Smith of the USA has just completed the stage in first place. Other competitors are expected to complete the stage within 12 hours. Competitors will then return to the ship for a shower for the first time in more than two days. The winds are still gusting making it questionable whether or not anyone can return to the ship.

Jan 28th 10am - After 100km, Scott Smith (USA) is in the lead followed by Kevin Lin (Taiwan), Chuck Walker (USA) and Brent Weigner (USA). Lisanne Dorion (USA) leads the womens division.

January 26, 8:00pm -- The Last Desert is now underway with a 10 kilometer warm up run on King George Island. The ship's anchor has just risen and the ship is now headed for Esperenza on the Antarctic Peninsula. Tomorrow competitors will face an 80 kilometer run through one of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth.

January 26, 12:30pm -- Competitors have just landed in Antarctica after a smooth flight across the Drake Passage. Several competitors celebrated with Pisco Sours and Bailey's. Competitors are now en route to their private ship where they will prepare for the kick-off of The Last Desert which will take place around 5:00 pm with a 22 kilometer run. History will be made with the first ultramarathon to be held on Antarctica.

January 26, 8:50am -- We are now on the plane about to take off for King George Island. We were rushed through the airport to catch a short window of opportunity to land at King George Island. Everyone send their love to family and friends. The next update wil be in four hours from Antarctica.

January 26, 8:00am -- The latest word is that the weather conditions are favorable at King George Island. The group is now en route to the airport. Another update will be posted from the runway at the Punta Arenas Airport.

January 26, 3:00am - The King George Island weather has cleared during the night. The next scheduled departure is 8am to the airport.

January 25, 1:30 pm -- The flight to Antarctica has been delayed yet again as fog has rolled in. The earliest we can now leave is 3:00 pm. Fortunately RacingThePlanet has been able to secure space in a C130 cargo plane to ship excess cargo including Diet Coke, beer, Chilean wine and special snacks.

January 25, 10:45am - We are off! The call has come in and we have a clear window to travel. Competitors are off to the airport.

January 11, 2006 - Hong Kong-based competitor, Alasdair Morrison, becomes the first to depart for The Last Desert, making his way to Punta Arenas via New York. All competitors will congregate in Puntas Arenas on January 24.
