First race of the 2020 season couldn't come fast enough - how are we already two months into the year?! Anyway, the Ironman 70.3 Bangsaen race in Thailand went on as planned despite the virus situation and I guess you could say I was lucky because it meant my training didn't go to waste. (Although why I would...

When I saw the medal that the full marathon runners received at last year's Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM), I was like, "Wah! I want the medal, it's so big!" So yeah I went ahead to sign up for this year's SCSM and I got the medal (a bloody hard-earned one)... but not without first completing...

I started ROCKtri in 2017 as an initiative to encourage more people to get into multisport and we held monthly workshops and clinics. Then this year I decided to make it ROCKtri Ladies and focus on women only. I applied for the grant from Women For Tri and ROCKtri Ladies is one of only two tri clubs...

After completing the full distance at Ironman Malaysia last year, I decided I would only do the half-distance this time (phew I'm glad I did lol). Coming into this race, a large part of me wanted to get it over and done with. The past few months have been quite busy with work and I’ve been tired that...

Specialized Asia celebrated its 10th anniversary in Singapore and they had Tim Don in town for a few days. Tim is the Ironman world record holder (7:40:23) and also one of the most inspiring athletes of all time. If you don't know Tim's story, here it is in a nutshell: He had set the world record...

I knew that trail running is another beast to be tamed altogether, but when I was given the opportunity to take part in the Volvic Volcanic Experience (VVX) - a 25km race with 1,000m elevation in France - I was like, YASSSSS I'M IN. It was gonna be – and it was – a huge challenge but that’s what...

After my first time racing in Danang in 2017, I didn't want to race there again because I had a bad race and it scared me off. But I went back again last year (had bike trouble) and then did it for the third time last Sunday. LOL!! Aren't we suckers for punishment sometimes? I guess I had some unfinished...

You know, I think this is the most chill I've been for a race, because I was struggling to find the motivation after coming off a high at Ironman Langkawi. I think it was good because I wasn't as gan chiong as I usually am, but man, the race certainly challenged me greatly. Tri-League has been...

“CHERYL TAY, YOU’RE AN IRONMAN!” Wow, these words felt like a million bucks when I crossed the finish line after a long day of having my physical and mental limits tested. Hence I couldn’t hold back the tears when I finished :’( At the start of this year, I decided that 2018 will be the year...

This race certainly took a lot out of me and it was a very humbling experience on all counts. The race was tough, the toughest I've raced thus far and I was out of my comfort zone for the entire race  (taking 'Get out of your comfort zone!' to a whole new level!). I slipped into the dark place a few times...
