LANGKAWI: For the past 10 years, Izham Che Abdul Hamid and Khazali Harun were just passive on-lookers as the Malaysian Ironman Triathlon athletes raced by their village in Ulu Melaka, Langkawi.
This year, they have taken a brave plunge by entering their names for the gruelling race – which involves a 3.8km swim, 180km cycling and 42.2km marathon run. The 11th edition of the Malaysian Ironman Triathlon will be held in Langkawi tomorrow.
