I balloted for New York marathon since 2020, 2022 when the results for 2023 ballot came out and I lost it, I was thinking maybe I should just do charity or buy a slot from the tour organisers. But just a few weeks after the ballot results were out, I received an e mail saying that if I purchase the guaranteed virtual slot for 2023 at a higher price, the physical slot for 2024 will be secured.
The pacing program was organised by the Running Department. This running group has been in Singapore for quite sometime, but I never joined them namely because the members are all pretty young.
Another freebie race, normal registration is $69 which is actually through donations to gather that amount, but if you are unable to raise that, you will need to fork out own funds to top up and register for the race.
Joining this race was by pure chance. I did not really want to spend more money on races in Singapore as they are really too expensive. To think I can get the same race overseas like Malaysia and Thailand with half and price and more perks too.
Signing on for a recital was one of the “Bucket list” item for this year. This recital for a pole number is from the Slap Dance Studio. I originally wanted to do the Pole Heels, as I have bought a new pair of heels but never really used it. But the timing for the course is not very conducive.
The OD refers to Olympic distance. Which means 1.5Km swimming, 40Km Bicycle riding and 10 Km running. I have done a few ODs before but to speak the truth, the timing is only mediocre or maybe more towards the slow side. Main reason is that I am very slow with the bike section.
Event took place on 6th Aug 2023 and the signing up is by the usual chanel , Active SG app. Beside that I also signed up for the swimming competitions but realised that I could only go for one event , 100M freestyle. These activities are under the Pesta Sukan category which is Sports SG ‘s initiative to bring on the sports spirits to all types of athletes.
This is a series of races organised by the X trail blazer. Not sure when this was started, but I only started to join this year’s edition and I am not prepared to join the 100Km which will take place later in the year.
As Gede Pangrango race was postponed without a proper update, I started to search around for some Indonesia races to fill up the gap as the air ticket cannot wait. Chanced upon this race at the Asian Trail Master site, and it was one of their championship race. There was also a quiz going then on the Facebook page for free entry slot.
Every year June is the health and wellness festival in Singapore. There are many activities and events during this period as it also coincide with the school holidays in Singapore.
