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...

Army Half Marathon Race Report

Just woke up at around 5pm after sleeping the whole afternoon upon reaching home, of course definately after lunch, a nice warm bath. Found time to blog, amazingly recovery is very fast this year no more sore feet & wobbly legs now, can even jog & jump about. Unlike the aches last year lasting even 2 days after raceday,...

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... Yea, but it was cool, literally... Quote from alec's blog: "....I am sunburnt = very very red..." This year's crowd was smaller than last year's (presumably...

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,...

Mizuno Wave Run, Track & Field Meet

Mizuno Wave Run at Kovan last sunday was a one the first few leisure competitive run events of the year - being able to get the track team all together. The atmosphere is definitely an intro to the many major public competitive runs for the juniors, contrary to the previous X-ctry & Newpaper Big walk. Everything looks set towards...

Standard Chartered Marathon 06

Got a mailer from SCM few days ago, guess I will share it here for those intending to run it this year. This year could be the last year for the season Stand Chart could be organising the marathon, (Exon Mobil was the previous organiser for a few years back then). Moreover those who ran the event last year...

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...

Poly50, Poly 50, Prolly50?

The Poly 50 thread has indeed grown to one of the hottest & widely discussed topics on the net (with over 76k hits & ranking top 5 on Google & Yahoo sg within 3 days). I would like to express my heartfelt thanks towards the various constructive points, concerns & issues raised in the discussion, either through the thread...

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...

Accepting the Grades

The last week is all about receiving the results of the mid-semester tests & of course accepting them. My Grades are not very fantastic this semester, about 10% lower than my standard grade the previous semesters, with the exception of a few 100% steals, heydoda! Damage Report: Mechanics II: 100% Engineering Maths: 100% Wildfire Pro-E: 100% Thermofluids II: 88% DTS:...

The CNC turning test went well on Tuesday think can score in it, my previous class DME/25 is doing CNC milling, though different topics, the test...

The run covers the 5.3 km route for men's open & the ladies open, 4.1 km. Overall the racing group is...

Rock Climbing Theory

"Am I on belay?" "Belay on" "Climbing" "Climb on" These are the words ecthed into the heads of any climber during the rock climbing sports elective now. A very basic phase I believe, but we won't be doing any belaying so soon either as theres actually a belayer course & certification to qualify for one, too far fetched for our 2 month rock...
