MR25 Ultra Marathon

The last event of the year. What a way to end it, by running this ultra trail event at home ground. Looking forward to this. It will be a time of celebration with friends and fellow runners.

Vibram Five Fellas

I am excited about the upcoming event, Let's Take A Walk. Our team has been finalized and we will be in Vibram Fivefingers gear.

Let's Take A Walk

I am looking forward to this event. I missed it last year due to a Church Retreat in Batam. The plan was to do the 100km extreme walk. However, the team decided to opt for the 50km power walk as a recovery and fun event. It will be fun especially we have Christian and Johnson in the team.

Though we are taking it easy, do not count us out!

New Balance Real Run

I finished the NB 10km Real Run on Sunday at the Changi Exhibition Centre. My chip time was 50:20 and net time was 51:02. Of course, i did the event in Vibram and hydration bag. I found the race interesting as we had to tranverse through 3 types of terrain - trail 4km, sand 0.6km and finally tarmac 5.4km.

After the event, i did another 2-3km back to CP 6 and i have all the weird stares from the 10km runners who were still running. Overall, it is an event worth considering to do again.

My right eye is swollen!

My right eye went through a minor surgery yesterday to remove a blocked gland at the upper eyelid. It has been nagging for the past 3 weeks and finally made the decision to remove it totally. The surgery took about 5 minutes with LA being administered to my eye. Side effect is swollen and bruised eyed for next 1 - 2 weeks.

Additional bad news is that i do not have perfect eyesight anymore. My astigmatism is back.. Sigh.... wasted all my money on the lasik two years ago. Good news was that i have no retinal detechment although i have a few "floaters" (its normal according to my doctor).

Surprise Surprise and Surprise

Life is so full of surprises when lest you expect it........ Less than 2 weeks after the completion of the TNF 100km, my race calendar is once again packed with trainings (still struggling with it) and events.

In Dec, i will be replacing Kim Hong in the Standard Chartered Marathon on 5 Dec. In two weeks, i will be joining Steven, Kah Shin, Michael and possibly Nic in the 100km Extreme Walk. Six days later, i will be participating in the annual MR25 Ultramarathon on 27 Dec.

Crazy as it seems or sounds, that should complete the overall events for this year 2009.

2010?? Let's leave it as it is.......
