This ultra race is organised by the Running Guild. Ben Swee is the chief mastermind behind all the action. The race can be done over a period designated or one shot which allows you to be on the Roll of Honour of the Running Guild. This 200Km race is different from the 100 miles previously as there is a designated route and time limit to qualify for the roll of honour.
Never been a good swimmer , maybe due to my physique and I was rather obsessed about running all these while. Swimming is however no doubt a good exercise as it incorporates all the limbs.
First time taking part in this event although it has been around in Singapore for sometime. Frankly speaking, I am just not very apt to do some kind of trail or elevation training in Singapore, not because I am damn good or what, but just that I feel there is no point cos it is never the same type of terrain compared to overseas.
To celebrate my 42 birthday, I just did a simple full marathon without much planning. Maybe I am so used to running in Singapore, it really did not bother me much do run longer distances here as I know logistic wise it will not be that bad, and one thing for sure, there is always a public transport waiting for me if in any case I wanna give up.
Most of my friends started to get a bit more active during Phase II, reason being that going to shopping malls are becoming a chore with all the checking in and out of apps. It gets really crowded on weekends so no difference towards social distancing. Wearing a mask is also a great deterrence.
This virtual run is by Spacebib. Have been working from home since April this year, that makes it about 4 months since I wrote this in Aug. To speak the truth, Covid 19 situation around the world has not really come to and end. I guess it is going to get longer than SARS. Was quite amazed that I actually witness 2 pandemics in my life and I wonder how many more disasters I will witness in years to come.
The Gold Coast Marathon is well known for its smoothness and good weather. Thus many of those whom want to achieve their Boston qualifying will like to take an attempt to get their ticket there.
During the lock down, I did a couple of longer runs ( not that long for a lot of people maybe). During the weekends, I will venture out from the neighbourhood and go to other parts of Singapore for a run.
So I thought of writing something about this Covid 19 ( short form for the coronavirus 2019), since we are now in the middle of the circuit breaker.
Well if you are not in Singapore, you will not know that Covid 19 lockdown name for Singapore is called the circuit breaker, they hope to “Break” this circuit by making everyone stay at home.
