Signed up this race because I was going back to Taiwan and thought maybe I just search for one race to join also. This time back to Taipei was also to settle some of my Grand mother’s stuff after she passed away 3 years ago and also visit the relatives who are all getting sick.

The last 100 was in 2023 with Joey and it was a great shock for me because the terrain was not expected at the Phitsanoulok Kheknoi trail. But I must say we did have a time of our lives and once again I am humbled by Joey’s power in trail. Joining the Hong Kong 100 is a personal so called Bucket list. Deep inside I was hoping to get one trophy out from this trail as they do reward runners below 24 hours with Gold Silver or Bronze man trophy.

Was called on to join this race with the Out In SG group whom I got to know from the Singapore Front Runners club. I did not even know who were my team members except for Andrew, who I did a couple of long ultras with back in the covid days. Paul, the team leader, signed for us first to create the team. The fees was $230 for one team of 5 where one member has to be a lady.

I did the qualifying in July, with a mind full of Ironman I really was not giving a good qualifying try on this. In fact, I woke up late and started around 08:30 am with only slow 5 rounds in the bag. Maybe I was getting fatigue about running in MR or maybe its just me getting tired of running.

To be honest, I really do not know what the CIDB stand for, but upon checking up the AI I got this answer Construction Industry Development Board in Malaysia. The race was held on 14th Dec on a Sunday at Putrajaya, a new area for the government offices in Malaysia, the nearest hotel there was Dorsett Putrajaya.

This year the Terry Fox run took place on 30th Nov at the East Coast Park Angsana Green. They had the 10km and 5km non competitive run. I had missed running for this event the last year and this year, I decided to just participate it alone.

Seems like I have been joining this run with Siew Ling ever since we started the Siew Ling special support crew. This year the Run for Inclusion or RFI is a by invite only activity, organisers probably want to keep it a cosy affair with the Running Hour family.

This is the second time I am pacing for Great Eastern Women 10km. The first time was my first stint in 2023 with Dorine and Gina from the Running Department. Running Department seems to be the club now which handles most of the pacing jobs in Singapore with Singapore marathon as the major project year. Singapore at the moment now only has one marathon and that happens in Dec yearly, the Singapore marathon. Great Eastern Women run has up to only 21km, but yet it is the most celebrated women run in Singapore and the region.

Held on the 2nd Nov this year, usually in Sep. This time the race is a bit later than usual but being the SG60 race, there were more discount given up to 60% off on the 6th of the month prior to the race. I invited my Tortoise running club friends and Richard to do this simple yet not so simple road 10km run.

When the Sirei Park Trail event got cancelled in August, the organiser Lumens gave me a choice to take a couple of races up or get a refund. I decided to take on the Kledang challenge as I was balloting for the Hong Kong 100 then. I thought it might be good to do some training and at the same time get to go Ipoh and visit Joey, having her say that the Bukit Kledang (RTM) route is something that she always wanted to bring me to.
