Sydney

My first visit to Sydney, for Cheryl's childhood friend wedding. Of course have to run....

Taiwan Kenting Marathon

My first venture overseas to run a marathon. The weather was superb and I managed to finish with a time of 5 hours, which is my personal best timing for a full marathon. Besides the run, it was also my first visit to Taiwan since the army in 1990.

Been a long while...

.... since I last posted something. Alright, since then I've completed my first triathlon, done my first 50km trail race, and have signed up for an ultra biathlon and the translantau 100km race.

Yes, I think I've gone crazy, but these are the things that I want to do now, and 10 years later, look back and be proud of my achievements.

Coming soon....

I've sign up for the Singapore Triathlon! Yup, trust me to do the craziest thing... So, I'm all set for the challenge of my life time.

Counting down to 17th August.

Trail Running

Not sure what got into me, it's either peer pressure or just wanting another challenge... so I got myself into running in the tropical rain forrest.

Bought a new pair of shoes specifically for trail running, and did my maiden trail run on Saturday at Macritchie. It was actually quite enjoyable, definitely a huge change from what I am used to. Completed a easy 11 km around the Macritchie reservoir and it felt good.

Well, I have to get some serious mileage into trail running as I've signed up for the 50km North Face challenge...

Like I said, not sure what got into me....

My new toy...

Added another one to the collection!

Tough race

Managed to complete the 2014 edition of the Sundown Marathon in under 6 hours... a disappointment personally as I was targeting a 5 hour finish due to my previous results. The humidity just got to me, and after the 25km mark, the mind is wiling, but the body simply refuses to move. Hope to achieve a better timing at the next marathon.
