On 25th - 27th of March 2012, Hubby and his friend Radzie were having their men's vacation out to Mount Kinabalu. They were having an intensive training before (gym & swim) to gain energy for the preparation. They've asked around of other's experiences & physically and mentally are preparing themselves of any consequences.
According to Hubby, the journey to Laban Rata was not that difficult but the weather was so cold. He kept updating me of his achievement (sending pictures) & he learnt how to be mentally strong. He met a group of Japanese age 60 and above & this was a wake up call to him to really make it to the top. The next morning, Hubby and Radzie started to climb to the top. Although it's another 800m up but the obstacles were way too high.
He was freezing, even he carried a bag of 5kg (took turn with Radzie) but exhaustion was out of mind. Alhamdulillah, Hubby & Radzie made it!! The scenery was awesome and he felt the satisfaction of it. Unfortunately, on the way down, Hubby's felt uneasy with his knees condition. His movement became slower and he felt the shaking of his knees. However, he managed to come home safe & sound & sleep like a baby. The consequences from this trip, Hubby can't walk properly because of the cramp, his lips are dried & his knees are shaking for almost 2 weeks.
Well, perhaps my story-telling was not that great as to compare to Hubby's story. This is because, it is not my experience. But this will be his starting point to climb for another mountain in future. He promised to bring me to Mount Kinabalu next year, insyaAllah.
Whatever it is, to Hubby, I'm so proud of you!!
