Oceanman 10 KM 2023

Posted on December 21, 2023 by admin

I don’t know what got me into doing this 10 Km swim but maybe I felt, its high time I do something crazy again before I cannot ( always so pessimistic isn’t it). Way before signing up, I had done 2 times of 10 Km swims at home ground Sentosa Island. To speak the truth, completion is not a problem ( ahem) but within a specific time, that is something. For all Oceanman 10KM, the swim must be done in 4 hr 30 min, to be considered as completed the race. Usually there is a half way 3 hour bench mark at the 6km point, this is where organisers will fish out the “slow” bunch.

The Athens Authentic Marathon 2022

Posted on December 8, 2022December 8, 2022 by admin

Joining the Athens marathon was because it was just nice a week after the Cyprus Oceanman. The cost of the this race is 100 EUR, I think this is the standard price for most marathons and events in Europe. Being the origins of marathon, I thought it must be one of the bucket list for most runners.

Hardcore 57 and 31Km

Posted on July 24, 2022July 31, 2022 by admin

After doing the 28 loops round MR for the MR 25 challenge, I was actually quite tired about doing trails. But this was one race I thought maybe worth the while to do as I really did not feel like looping anything anymore and Mountain Goat was another loop race.

SG 55 Run for Singapore Online Challenge 2020

Posted on August 14, 2020August 14, 2020 by admin

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 idea of going to the USA since my last trip in 1997 to New York, where the Twin Towers were still alive, was really surreal. Having balloted the Chicago marathon and getting the ballot, I decided to go and also make a trip to New York at the same time.

Adela Trail Run 2019

Posted on September 2, 2019September 3, 2019 by admin

As usual, browsing through the events on Facebook and came across this race. Was actually looking for drinking events then end up signing for a trail race. What attracted me to this place was that I had been to Kota Tinggi when I was young and wanted to go back again. Another thing is that I was quite sure that there will not be many Singaporeans in this race. […]
