Last 31 May 2009, I and my partner took part in JB City Eco Challenge. This race offered RM20,000 of prize money to brought back for athletes. There were four categories : Elite Men, Elite Mixed, Novice Men and Novice Mixed. In elite category, racers need to mountain biking, kayaking, running and passing an obstacle course to the fininsh run. While novice category just only running and did obstacle course.

As I and my partner competed in Elite Men category, it was tough for us especially my partner who was raced without any specific training. And I reached my in zone fitness level after attended Multisport Training Camp for 2 weeks, I have not faced any major problem. Malaysian elite triathlete such as Razani Husain, Shahrom Abdullah, Wong Ah Tiam, Stephanie Chok also competed in this first ever event.

Hey, Bro... Don't forget that your big brother Moose from MKA Development Team was the other half of Team The Bike Boutique that finished a strong 4th place in that race. I'm sure as hell that's reason enough for you to feel proud and beam from ear to ear, Bro!

Calculate Your Daily Calories

"How many calories your body needs per day?"

Your calorie requirements vary according to height, total body weight, ratio of fat to muscle, age, gender, genes, health and physical exercise. In general, your calorie needs can be reasonably accurately assessed base on two calorie components : Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Physical Exercise.

Your Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimum number of calories needed to power your body while resting. i.e. energy needed by your body to maintain normal functions, like heart beat, respiration and normal body temperature. It accounts for about 60-70% of your calories requirements.
The second major calorie component is physical exercise or activity. The more exercise you take, the more calories you burn.

The calorie calculator below only gives an approximation.
