Forced to rest.
I was feeling good after completing a pretty epic two-week training camp with Z-Coaching in Phuket and was ready to continue the high back home. I even planned to title my post-camp blog post “Why do I keep training?” because people were asking me why I am investing so much time, effort and money into training […]
#drinkELO
The weather in Singapore is getting hotter these days, which means it is even more important to drink enough fluids and keep your body functioning well. With my pretty high activity levels from all the Ironman 70.3 training (of swimming, cycling and running) I’m doing, it’s important to stay hydrated all the time, even when […]
Grab x Tinder
So, I was part of a recent Grab x Tinder activation, which you most probably would know about if you are a Grab user. How the campaign works: For one day only between 11am to 4pm on Friday (19 May), you could log into the Grab app and click on the Grab x Tinder tab to […]
My speech for Ling’s wedding (the full version)
When Ling asked me if I would like to give a speech at her wedding, I was absolutely thrilled and I said yes in a heartbeat. And then I realised it’s because she needed a female speaker, since Andrew was representing the male audience. Still, I know she secretly loves me. A lot. So, I will […]
My GrabHitch stories
I drive around a lot for work and training – spending about an average of 3 hours a day behind the wheel – and I recently found a way to make some allowance and cover petrol costs. It’s called GrabHitch. GrabHitch is a social carpooling service where regular drivers like you and me can give others […]
Hen’s trip turned boot camp.
When Ling Er first asked me to join the all-women trip she was planning as part of her pre-wedding activities, she mentioned “beach, sun, sand, bikini, pool, massage, chill.” It was scheduled right after our Ironman 70.3 Danang race, so I was definitely up for it. But after the “Incredible T-Rex Trip” group chat was […]
Ironman 70.3 Vietnam 2017: I couldn’t beat the heat at Danang.
It was so bloody hot at Danang – like 40 degrees Celsius – and I bonked on the run. I knew the Ironman 70.3 Vietnam was going to be hot, but I wasn’t prepared for this intensity. Arriving three days before race day, the weather was actually slightly overcast with cloudy skies and I was […]
Race number 2.
I’m sitting here at my computer, trying to finish up as much work as I can before I leave for Danang tomorrow. Yes, it is time for my second Ironman 70.3 race. I know right – it felt like I just did my maiden half-Ironman race not too long ago, but no man, it’s been five […]
Metasprint Duathlon 2017: The pain is real.
I ran-biked-ran my heart out today at the MetaSprint Duathlon and managed to clinch the last spot on the podium for the 30-34 age group. Yay yay yay!!! The race format is a 3km run, followed by an 18km cycle and then another 3km run. I’ve always enjoyed duathlons because swimming is my weakness (which […]
