I left Batu Pahat around 7:10 AM. My plan for the day was to cover 50 kilometers to Muar.
I wanted to cover as much distance as possible during the cooler hours.
It was fun to watch the remaining distance on my GPS slowly decrease.
However, the temperature exceeded 30 degrees Celsius just after 10 AM.
It was 33 degrees Celsius by 2 PM.
I skipped a lunch break and instead took many 10-15 minute breaks. I rarely sat down.
Eating ice cream at a convenience store became a daily routine.
I gulped down pop soda (my favorite is A&W), which I rarely drink in Japan.
A little after 5 PM, I thought I'd reached my hotel in Muar, but realized it was the wrong hotel, so I frantically searched Google Maps again.
I arrived at my destination, my private lodging, at 5:30 AM. It was just over 1 km from the city center. I bought some food at a convenience store.
Finished with a total distance of 50.3km. My first distance of over 50km in Malaysia.
Refreshed after a shower.
The afternoon heat of 33°C, constant thirst, and soles of my feet hurt for the first time in a while.
Tomorrow, I have another 45km to run to Melaka. I'm pumped. I'm ready to show my true adventure runner skills.
*Today's distance: 50.3km
*Total distance from Changi Airport: 186.8km
