Bukit Gasing Green Challenge - 'Story of the boy who was never really lost' Written by the man he followed

Now we have a true account of what happened to this little boy who was beating grown men in the Mens Team Relay event before he got "lost".

At the furtherest most Checkpoint, Thiragar (aka Teva) received his colored band from the marshal. He was on his return leg of the second loop running in 10th placing overall...

At around 9:00am (an hour plus into the race) his brother was alarmed he had not returned. This talented student representing SMK La Salle was expected back within the hour. My call to the last marshal confirmed he had passed the colored band checkpoint and was on his way back. There was one more hour to race cut off, so all sweepers were told to look out for the boy...and for A001...

Here is the account as written by A001

Read on and never underestimate your neighborhood...
