Race year 2012

Here's how my race year is going to look.

25 Feb - Singapore Duathlon (10km run / 36km cycle / 5km run)
25 Mar - Fear Challenge (25km run with 8 obstacle stations)
26 May - Adidas Sundown Marathon (half 21km)
1 July - Gold Coast Marathon (42km)
Sep - Army Half Marathon (21km)
Oct - North Face trail run (half 50km)
Dec - Standard Chartered Marathon (42km)

The Duathlon just over the weekend was really painful!  I didn't remember it being that tough!  Perhaps it was the weather, or the lingering effects of the flu I never fully recovered from, or the sore calves from circuit training on Wednesday...

My first race since Dec's accident and Speedier's first race ever.  Glad we both survived uneventfully and amazingly enough, improved my timing by 15mins.  And this is without pushing since  I struggled with catching my breath and my legs on verge of cramps most of the way.  Not a bad start to the race year indeed.

My results : 1:05 for 10k run, 1:15 for the bike and 35min for the last 5k run.  Plus transition for a total 3:02. Dang, didn't realize how close I was to a sub-3hr!
