officially registered for my first sprint triathlon!

750m swim. 20km bike. 5km run.

=)

private access only.

i got bored with always running in circles around my house, so i asked my father to build me a road. it's got to be extremely straight, with marked lanes (in case i want to organise races), and a great view. how sweet of him to have obliged!

my papa's road

i went for a test run today with mummy and boy must i say i'm extremely satisfied with it. there's even a gently sloping bridge with great views of one of the rare rivers and forest left in singapore.

the best part is, it's linked from my house all the way to jalan kayu. running straight down to roti prata heaven!

see, told you i'm delirious with my new road. too bad my dad says i gotta share it with the rest of singapore soon. =/

p.s. did i mention that the view of the sunset along the road is absolutely stunning? it's like forrest gump running towards heaven. love love love it! =)

woohoo!

no sub-60 but happy nonetheless considering the crowd and slopes. p.s. check out ex-hwa chongian mok ying ren in 3rd place!

finally completed my first ever 10km run! a big thanks to mike who accompanied me and ran beside me even though he could have zoomed off into the sea of red. the nike singapore organisers must have had a earful because the run wasn't very well planned at all. the routes weren't exactly scenic, it was so crowded that there were human jams, all i smelled most of the way was the other 11,000 people's sweat in the air and people were brushing past me every second. being extremely sensitive to my private space (you know those kind where i'd get annoyed if people stood too close to me on the train), it wasn't the most pleasant of runs for me. there were also many up and down slopes which really killed my thighs and they're aching like hell today. thank god mike was there to encourage me and yes i finally ran a corporate race!
