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.
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.
Joining this was because I got bored about roads. Singapore roads are quite boring and monotonous, maybe because I always run same places or maybe it is due to the Covid 19 and I have not went out of the country for 2 years.
Did not thought about joining this race at all, then just got spurred by one of the swimming friends, Fidel Costa. He was running the Bukit timah summit all the time and I realised that he was joining this activity.
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.
Just to kinda “revenge” my failure in the 200Km Shiok! Race by Running Guild. I decided to join the 88.88km Lucky run by Running Guild also. Alice, a running friend of mine, actually suggested it as she wanted to do it. So I decided to join her together.
