Revisiting Temasek

There you go. Arrived safely in JB 12.30 a.m. last night amidst the continuous drizzling along the 300km. And now typing this with the smell of chicken curry from mom's kitchen. Carboload or spice up? Hope I don't fall into feeding frenzy and got all spicy until race day. That would be disaster.

My second race in Temasek will be this Sunday. Sundown was test water only, running the half distance and experiencing the much-talked about awesome race events perfectly organised. True that but hujan batu di negeri sendiri kan? When it comes to races that require travelling, a checklist is a must. I don't want to end up missing vital stuff especially when I have 5 hours on the road in foreign soil somemore! And I need to travel light also. And the list goes on with some logistics thrown in for transport and lodging.

The initial plan was to run slow. Not setting any ambitious target considering the tiny commitment I gave towards training and even smaller is the milage logged. Thinking about it will only give me the chills up my spine, hence I will just run non-stop at whatever pace sustainable. It would  be senseless to go into battle without a mission, so I have prepared a pace note targetting for anything below 5hr30min. Achievable? Cross my fingers. The best part is, I have the rest of the RBU peeps whilst sharing the battlefield i.e. Ziff, Ray, Zack, Ijam, Yim, Azmar and many others. Definitely the Chap Ayam Runners will be there as well.

Good luck to all friends running the Temasek Marathon! Thanks to the rest of the peeps for the wishes.
