Hello,

Glad to see you again in our 5th edition of Mount Kinabalu Borneo.com Newsletter. This month, I would like to share with you some information on the 20th Mount Kinabalu Climbathon - in a different point of view.

We know that both the defending champions, Anna and Mejia retained their championship, but do we know about other participants that take part in the event?

Our focus for this month is to share with you the experiences of two of our friends, Wai Yong and ‘The Dream Runner’ who participate on the event.

Wai Yong, a female University Malaysia Sabah student, take part in the event just to gain some experience. She emailed me few weeks before the event, saying that she will be participating. She said that she would like to take some photo of the event for me, but unfortunately, she do not have a digital camera.

So, she went up the mountain with her analog camera to capture some image of the event. Although she did not able to finish the event at the allocated time, they still gave her the certificate. She is kind enough to scan all 44 pieces of her photo and email it to me so that it can be shared with all of us. Check her analog photo from our gallery.

“The Dream Runner”, not much that I can tell you about him, but while I was doing my monthly maintenance of Mount-Kinabalu-Borneo.com, I came across his blog. He did participate in the event - under the veteran’s category. A Singapoean lad who is very passionate about running. He wrote a very good description on his experience during the event. After reading his blog, I really respect him on his passion. Check out his blog for the story.

Any of you have any other experience on the event or the mountain? I love to hear from you. Just drop me an email in my inbox. You may be our next featured article for this newsletter!

Mr. Ganesh also email me some more photo of his climb in 2005 and 2006. He also included his photos at Poring Hot Springs, the canopy walk and waterfall. Thank you for sharing with us your photo, Ganesh!

And for those who have been to my blog recently, I have added a ‘Postcards’ page. I dedicate this page to all the postcards that I received from mount-kinabalu-borneo.com supporters. Send me one from your corner of the world!

Do you notice the difference in this edition of newsletter? I upgraded this newsletter by implementing a ‘content management system’ (CMS) to organize and manage this newsletter. It saves me time and make it easy for you to access the earlier edition of our newsletter.

Hope to see you on our next newsletter!

Regards,

Ruhaizad
