Congratulations go out to the following friends!
Mok Ying Ren for breaking Singapore’s national record for the 5K: 14 minutes 51:09 seconds. [Thank you Dr Kua Harn Wei for the notification] Watch his dazzling video race!
Sumiko Tan, for winning the Women’s category in this morning’s Sundown Marathon in 3:22. This is her personal best time.
Vijch for a 3:55 finish in Sundown Marathon; Desmond Chow for a strong 5-hour, pre-IMWA 2011 training finish.
On a rare note (for me, at least), Barcelona confirmed their place in the pantheon of soccer on Saturday, out-gunning Manchester United 3-1 at Wembley Stadium to claim their second Champions League crown in three years. Olay, olay, olay. Olay, olay…!

John Cooke returned safely to Perth. He is, officially, the fastest Singaporean to complete the Ironman Lanzarote (unofficially, the one who planks in the most locations!). So, far only two Singaporeans have attempted the course within the last four years. I was glad to race alongside him for my 11th Ironman finish. We John all the best for his eighth Ironman triathlon at IMWA in December!
I booked my airfare for the Gold Coast Marathon; accommodation follows next. My race strategy is to stay near the start-point so that there is less stress preparing on race morning.
