All roads lead to Sundown, i missed this event earlier this year and watched with envy all the RBUs running their respective events in Singapore; even Ziff managed to buy a bib running the Sundown Marathon. From then on, i decided to become kiasu - click first and think later!
I registered and committed my 1st ever 42.2 km Sundown Marathon early this morning, i couldn’t sleep properly last nite thinking not to miss this event again.
Coming May 2011, this would be my 1st overseas Marathon and my inaugural Singapore marathon. My FMV run would be at Putrajaya Night Marathon as promised to Deo and Che, this year for me it’s all about short races and Half Marathons.
The organizer of Sundown Marathon decided to upgrade the Ultra run from 84km to 100km next year, yeah it’s about time we have three digit Marathon around this region.
I was thinking, who would be crazy enough to enter and run this 100km insanity race? KA Botakromen declared his intention in Facebook today and Zaki Otoromen follow suit declaring through his blog. I salute these crazy runners for having the biggest balls to register for the Ultra 100km, still can’t fathom running the Marathon distance..100km is mind blowing.
As promised to Zaki earlier this year, i would obliged in his pursuit and the LSD training towards his Ultra goal. This guy can hide his true feeling without giving away any hints, bravo dude! But Deo and I beg to differ and bet he’s gonna do the Ultra, it’s in his blood.
Running LSD at Bukit Subang confirmed my suspicion, Zaki may run slow but his pace is steady and i believe he got the drive to pull this off by June 2011. Reading Haza’s entry about Jack wannabe Ultra runner add another interesting fact to our earlier suspicions, even King Avatar himself said that Zaki was fascinated with Haza’s 84km finisher tee, the most beautiful tee he laid eyes upon. Run Zaki Run! Worry not, you’ll have the RBUs support throughout the race. Kak June any chance of setting up another Sundry Shop at Sundown?
Tahniah Ray. At last, your maiden FM! Train well, it's tougher cause it's at night but I know you are consistent in your training to be ready!
