Tales from Sri Lanka (II): Race Report
Last year I targeted Sri Lanka as a race with a goal: Vegas. After Philippines and Powerman, that was the next race to do my best. My training for Sri Lanka had two parts. The one coming from the preparation for Powerman and the one after Christmas. During the Christmas holidays, I had a biiiggg break of 3 weeks in Europe where I just ate (too much) and rested. Then after that,... Read More

North Face 100 (50km Duo) 2011 Race Report

It was race day morning and the four of us Ziggy, Jamie , Bastian and myself... Read More

Since my 70.3 in Philippines, I didn’t do much training – no swim, and just some running and easy bike (and lot’s of room for eating and cravings :P) Physical conditions weren’t... Read More
Ironman 70.3 Philippines 2011
I have been looking forward to race Ironman 70.3 Philippines for many months. I devoted lots of training hours for this race… This was my second Half Ironman event and a totally different course from the first one I did back in December last year in Phuket.

Asia-Pacific Championship Ironman 70.3 Phuket 2010
Phuket, Thailand was my first Ironman 70.3 event. It was such a great experience. That experience wasn’t only about the race itself. It was the entire journey with Juan, Patricia, Diego and Jehanna. It was the many months of training together: brick sessions at Changi (It was just like going out for camping every time!), swim and run gatherings at Queenstown swimming complex,... Read More
