I wonder how Californians feel living under the constant fear that the "The Big One" could strike at any moment, with little or no warning.
An earthquake is perhaps the most frightening of all natural disasters as there's really no place to run to for safety, unlike, say, a tornado or hurricane, which are much more localized.

Bawang = Onion
Coot tao = bones?

I overheated on my 24 click....came down with a 40 degree fever immediately after that.I don't even know why the heck I was trying so hard....I was relying completely on willpower to finish it.
Now I think back, that was a damn dangerous thing to do.
40 degrees? That was definitely heat exhaustion bordering on heat stroke. You could have literally been killed without immediate medical intervention.

Yah.I could very well have gotten myself killed.
Damn stupid of me to actually carry on.
Oh well. That was my first and last 24 click.
I knew something was damn wrong when I was sweating like mad....but I just kept going on and on.
Ah well, that was the closest I've ever got to getting heat stroke.

You know i'm getting a bit worried about the runs. All this while i've been doing it in the morning. Not sure if i can muster enough energy to do evening runs.

Certainly not sweating until I go light-headed....And yeah....when I stopped at last at 11pm....I stopped sweating.
Felt totally wasted....the feeling was indescribable.

Did you take any fluids during the run?
-
i think i drank about 5 litres of water during the 24km route march

Me?Nono....that was no run.
It's a walk with all my equipments.
-
hmm.. turnip = 芜�
-
No liquids at all? That's probably why you came down with a temp.

I drink all 3 litres from my hydration pack for 10km hikes

I have forgotten how much I downed....but I believe it's quite substantial, I mean...there's water parades?And the new LBV allows you to keep the water flowing into you as you walk, hands free.

Honestly speaking, if you've been sweating very heavily, drinking plain water can actually make things worse by diluting the remaining electrolytes in your body.
Which was probably why I friggin' came down with heat cramps in the dead of the night even though I already drank quite a lot beforehand.
In such cases, you need isotonic drinks.

My mental faculties all gone by the time I reached.And the worst thing I could do when I got back...
Bathe in the friggin ice-cold midnight Tekong water!
I shivered like mad and it gave me a damn splitting headache and cramps here and there.
And then I measured my temperature knowing something is really wrong by now. 40 degs.
My reaction was: Oh.
