My First NS IPPT, then CAT1…

Today is my first in-camp NS IPPT and my first with electronic IPPT scoring as well. But the system is quote idiot proof for anyone but noticeably there are quite a few areas of possible exploitation of the system, not something that I would do while not under the watchful eye of the PTI, but something noticeable after studying...

Juggling work, play and Training, KL Marathon

Work had definitely eaten not only my personal time but much of my usual run and training schedules - I had not been running regularly, (clocking awfully low week millage in the process) nor attending track training in school last few weeks. Furthermore, if it's not hitting my personal weekly distance requirement of 30km, it's beating it off...

First 2007 run at Macritchie

Did a 11km cross-country run at MR today afternoon (Time 1:07).

Post Standard Chartered Marathon 06

RACE REPORT You've finished, we see a Winner! As anticipative as I was last night trying to sleep at 10pm, the next moment it's already time to wake up at 4:15am. Left the house at 4:50am for hawker breakfast. Disappointingly, most breakfast stores, though open had not started selling yet (I remembered eating there at an earlier time before... funny). Dad...

Post Swissotel Vertical Marathon 2006

Sunday was the 2006 Swissotel Vertical Marathon, an event which I would see myself participating almost annually since last year. Maybe because of the love & uniqueness of the sport, not to mention my kakis who always participate the event together. On top of the usual annual line up of cross-country, adventure races and marathons. I was actually more...

But nevertheless it was one of the most cohesive and fun long races ever with over 40 teams running throughout the 12hour 2.4km relay, the good competition all in the benefit for...

Thoughts on the 12Hour NIE Director Relay

😕 Initially I have second thoughts of running this race as I've never tried running and staying active for 12hours and at unearthly hours way past my bedtime, do not know how my body will react to such conditions. So as ZY and WW pulled out. But it's not like I've not done this in the army, going for...
