I have been very reluctant to write this one, because it was very painful experience. Another reason was that this year, I did it with a person whom I really respect and I felt I had dragged him down the wrong way in this one. After last year’s attempt, I have been thinking seriously, do I really want to do it or let it go? In the end, seems like I just cannot let it go and signed up again.
This event is a Tri, Bi or Dua thalon event by the Running Guild
There are different category and distances and mix and match between the 3 types of exercises, Swim , Bike and Run. Was very tempted to do the super tri. But I realise that cycling portion is going to kill my time as a 100Km for me is likely to take 4 hours, which after I am not sure if I can still run a Half Marathon. That being said. It would have been a good training for half Iron Man though. Brings me back to thinking, how did all these people do full ironman in less than 17 hours.
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.
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.
Relay For Life (RFL)is actually a global movement founded in May 1985. It has raised about $5 billion and gathered 4 million participants to take part annually, making it one of the world’s largest fundraisers. In Singapore, this relay is organised by the Singapore Cancer Society, it helps to celebrate those who survived from Cancer, remember those whom we lost to cancer and at the same time help to raise some funds for the society.
Was not supposed to do this race this year, but it was cancelled last year and the postpone reason was not sure. As such all participants were deferred to this year, the race was on Sunday 19 Jan 2020.
The ultras are never a “chop chop” business, but that is also the beauty of it, taking time to plan, to prepare, to arrive, to soak in the atmosphere and to run the race. Whether completing it or not, the experience itself, is something that money cannot buy.
Held yearly around September in the capital of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. This race is quite a sort after race for Malaysians and regional runners.
Another fruitful year with the POSB Kids run, proceeds from the run actually contributes to the POSH PAssion Kids Fund. POSB PAssion Kids Fund supports children in the community through different causes through sports and other activities.
