Knocked down, but not knocked out
So, the start of my 2018 season didn’t quite go as planned. I was all set and booked for the Ironman 70.3 Colombo tomorrow and I was preparing my pre-race blog piece, when I got struck by illness. -_-” On Monday, the start of what was race week, I started to feel a bit weird. […]
REVIEW: Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro
Between the Samsung Gear Sport and the Gear Fit2 Pro, I personally prefer using the Gear Fit2 Pro to work out in, primarily because it is lighter and more workout-friendly. When you purchase the Gear Fit2 Pro, you can choose between a Small or Large band, so you cannot share it with your spouse or […]
REVIEW: 5 things I like about the Samsung Gear Sport
I first got acquainted with Samsung wearables three years ago with the Gear S2 and I recently got hold of their latest – the Gear Sport, Gear Fit2 Pro and Gear IconX (the wireless earbuds). I was so excited I didn’t know which to use first, but I’ve calmed down since and today I’m gonna […]
#RTNTturns2
I actually wasn’t intending to have an event for Rock The Naked Truth’s 2nd Anniversary – just being honest. I thought I would just do an anniversary celebration for the 1st year and subsequently every 5 years. Then Alan of The Autobus asked me if I wanted to do something at his cafe and I […]
My 5 best moments of 2017
And here it is, another year gone by in a blink of the eye and I’m wondering what I’ve done with those 12 months! Every year I find myself saying that, and every year I’m amazed at how time flew by. I like to scroll through my Instagram feed and do a quick recap of […]
Ironman 70.3 Phuket 2017: Back where it all started
I chose to return to Phuket for my last race of the year because I wanted to 1) celebrate the first anniversary of my 70.3 journey at the same place, 2) race alongside my Z-Coaching teammates and 3) do the course again with Queen Bitch II this time. Honestly I wasn’t expecting such a tough […]
Life of a Lifestyle Athlete.
Almost a year since I took part in my first ever Ironman 70.3 triathlon here in Phuket and what the heck, time has really flown by. Last year at this exact same time I was jiggly nervous about my virgin 70.3 (and also excited). I come with a different bag of emotions now, after going […]
113 TriFactor Bike-Run-Bike Melaka 2017: Most forgiving race thus far
WHEWW! A different type of Sunday I had yesterday – 1st in age group (called Youth Open for 25-34 yo) and 2nd overall for Women at today’s 113-TriFactor Bike-Run-Bike Melaka!! I’ve actually always wanted to try this bike-run-bike format. TriFactor has this format in Singapore (shorter distance though) but I’ve always had clashes with the […]
City60 Bike-Run Challenge: Just get through it
Some days you just don’t feel it and the City60 Bike-Run Challenge was one of those days for me. I signed up for the City60 category which consists of a 7km run, 46km bike and 7km run. It’s a new race by Metasport and also, I thought it would be cool to wrap the week […]
Recharged.
About a month ago, I was on the verge of a burnout. I just kept feeling very fatigued – physically, mentally, emotionally. It just felt overwhelming. Everyone was quick to point out that it was my triathlon training that was wearing me down, but I realised it wasn’t so much of the physical. It was […]
