Race Across America

Lately i have been thinking of doing an ultra event. However, it is not the normal ultra running event that i have been doing for the past 2 years.

The urge to test my physical limits in this area, was tempting! I have checked that no Singaporeans had ever done it before. Hmm.. looks promising to attempt to be the first to try it.

Not to keep in suspense, this ultra event is none other than the Race Across America. It is a transcontinental bicycle race starting on the west coast and finishing on the east coast. The race covers 3000 miles across the Rockies, the heartland of America, and finally the Appalachians. It continues to stands as one the toughest events in the world and a tribute to human endurance.


I have asked my "partner in crime", Lam if he is interested to do 2 man team. Anyway, preparation for this event is not easy as support crews and certain logistic are mandatory. The earliest date to start dreaming is only Year 2011 onwards. 


Til then, akan datang....

This is tough one. Just looking at the qualifying time is crazy.
