Departed just after 7 AM.
Stage 3 is approximately 200 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh.
Will I be able to arrive in a week?
Heading northeast from downtown Kuala Lumpur.
Passing Central Market and Merdeka Square, which I visited yesterday.
Mainly running on Highway 1. There were many ramps and intersections, requiring a sprint each time.
While there are many sidewalks in the city, they aren't very reliable because of obstacles and dead ends.
Big cities have many people and shops, but the number of cars and motorcycles is abnormally high. Those in cars might not notice, but the exhaust fumes and noise from running on the highway all day gives me a headache.
Took several breaks at bus stops. Today's distance is short, so there's no need to rush, but I want to avoid the heat as much as possible. There will probably be another thunderstorm late this afternoon.
The last 15 kilometers or so involved a long, drawn-out climb over a mountain pass. At 158 meters above sea level, it wasn't particularly high, but the heat made the several-kilometer ascent quite challenging.
Finally, the skyscrapers disappeared from view, and the familiar Malaysian scenery returned.
Ramadan is almost over, and it seems the rush of people returning home for the holidays is about to begin.
*Today's distance traveled: 30.3 km
*Total distance traveled from Changi International Airport: 406.4 km
