Chicago Marathon 2019
The idea of going to the USA since my last trip in 1997 to New York, where the Twin Towers were still alive, was really surreal. Having balloted the Chicago marathon and getting the ballot, I decided to go and also make a trip to New York at the same time.
Standard Chartered Marathon Kuala Lumpur 2019
Held yearly around September in the capital of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. This race is quite a sort after race for Malaysians and regional runners.
Adela Trail Run 2019
As usual, browsing through the events on Facebook and came across this race. Was actually looking for drinking events then end up signing for a trail race. What attracted me to this place was that I had been to Kota Tinggi when I was young and wanted to go back again. Another thing is that I was quite sure that there will not be many Singaporeans in this race. […]

Tri Factor Asian Triathlon Championship 2019
So last year I did this, and I reflected, I cannot always be a joke just do things for the sake of doing. Usually my bike leg is the greatest joke of all as I always rent the mountain bike from S lite company to do the race ( no road bikes for loan for me because of height issues).
Mikkellar Running Club
Mikkellar Bar in Singapore was opened only the recent few years. I remember when I started to get interested in craft beer drinking, I chanced upon their store at the current Bunker Bunker and then then Deck.

Pong Yaeng Trail 100KM 2018
Pong Yaeng Trail 2018
Taking place in Chiang Mai, Mae Sai region. The race base is at the famous attraction, Queen Sirikit Botanic Gardens. This is about 30km from the Airport to reach. I wanted to do a 100KM myself and was thinking about the ThaiUltra Marathon, which I missed doing 2 years ago and ended up doing a walk through because of the Thai King passed away. This year unfortunately, they were also not able to organise the race due to some authority factors. In the end I was in a cross road between PYT and the trail in Nan. Thinking that I am just a newbie, I decided that PYT will be a safer choice because of its good reputation and also the elevation was not as much as Nan. Also since I had already walked through the 50km of Thai Ultra Marathon, I thought that the landscape should be the same.
