Bumping the Distance

With the Singapore Marathon coming around the year end, begin seeing myself bumping up my weekly leisure run distances, up to 21.4km today. I always have the mentally of setting the requirement to training leisurely half the distances I intend to run for each year's running season before "qualifying" myself. So as for example this season's X-Country, Newbalance Realrun,...

It’s Sunday! 2006/2007 IVP

:mrgreen: Just came back from a 15.8km jog at Tiong Bahru park. Calculating my millege, I kinda burn more rubber there then even all my races in one year combined, a good place to chill, relax and clear your mind after a long day at work or chores. Think you definately can't miss me there - if you see...

New Balance Realrun 2006, AHM 2006

The Newbalance realrun was on yesterday (Bib no. MO1959). In the mist of all the sunburn we've got from the sea water, tanning oil & a good sunny weather. Now all red like overcooked lobster...

Crash Your VW Jetta, Semester 3 loads

Seemingly, the animation department of Volkswagon seems to be up on a few cups of radioactive coffee lately, featuring some simple but rather neat animation of their Jetta Crash tests on their website. With rather bizarre items: UFO, Chicken Truck, Godzilla's Feet, Humpy Dumpy's Wall, just to name a few. Check it out here. Unless you spot a UXGA monitor,...

Post P50, Mizuno Wave Run 06

With the Poly 50 behind us, what else can a tried track team do after a race but chow to our hearts content at our campus's food haven outlet? Besides a few gloomy faces since the last emotional turn for many, things are starting to get back on hand. In fact training on Friday saw one of the biggest...

Poly 50, Poly50, Prolly50?

I will take sometime to reflect & open up on the conduct of the Singapore Poly 50 race today. I am sad to say the the poly 50 is one of the worst organised events I ever participated, (even those casual X-crty events in MR can beat this many times over), with 20 out of the 100 teams disqualifed...
