“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...

A journey without challenges and obstacles will not show you how much more there is to yourself. Each time you run into a setback, get up, dust yourself off and get going. While we want a smooth and easy life, we wouldn’t know how to appreciate the sweet times without going through the tough times. It...

The biggest running event in Singapore, the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM), has always been a place where people achieve new goals, overcome personal barriers and create new dreams. This year, SCSM will be held over two days – 8 and 9 December. The Kids Dash, 5km (new category!)...

We spend so much time training our physical limits, that we forget to train the mental. And honestly, in endurance races, the mental strength is very important. It can get hot and tiring out there, you feel like giving up, you question your purpose... so it really comes down to your mental resolve. At...

Excited, I was feeling very excited to race at the Ironman 70.3 Taiwan because I missed out on Colombo after battling a stupid flu bug that kept me in bed for a week. I only had three weeks to the race at Taitung and I was struggling to get my pace back (I was still coughing and having a runny nose)....

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 bike course,...

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...

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 of birthday celebrations with this. In...

It breaks my heart to say this, but Queen Bitch I (the first) has to go into early retirement due to some unfortunate circumstances. (inserts many broken heart emoticons) You know how much Queen Bitch I means to me - I got her sprayed in glitter pink (you can only see the glitter...
