Marathon #6 : Genghis Khan MTB Adventure & Grassland Extreme Marathon
How it began
Towards the year end, during my resting season, I will start plan and prepare for the races on the second year. This race was done in 2013, time flies and it has already been 2 years since the race had passed. I signed on this race because I was already getting very tired about the races in Singapore. Being a small country, we do not have the luxury of wide spaces and scenic locations for run. Thus the bare minimum of only 2 full marathons a year did not really satisfy my desire and needs for having to run more. This is when we started to venture out. Actually, in 2012, I was already travelling to many places regionally for races. Therefore at the end of 2012, I began to think about going even further. One site that I find very useful for me to research on the races to go for is http://marathons.ahotu.com/ . This site categories the types of races based on Month, Countries and Distance. It allows me to know when will be a good time to go and based on my budget, which are the ones I can go.
