Today I got my new road bike, a Felt AR3, with a Campagnola Athena EPS shifting unit, very excited to take it for a ride tomorrow morning. Colin from the Bikehaus did a great job in selling me that bike, I wish he let me update his webpage doe 😉
This was my first Ultra-Marathon, with 43 km only 805 meters more. However, your brain and mostly your legs are so used to the 42.195 that they need some talking to convincing them that they d o have to continue 😉
Now I know I can do it, ready for the 50 km TNF run…
As the start was in the evening 19:00 the heat wasn’t a problem, and the heavy rain at the end was kind of nice as it felt like a warm shower.

The timer on the photo was started 12:03 hours earlier for the 160 km runners, YES that’s right 160 km… so plus the time it took them to drag me back there equals my finishing time.
And yes, I’m now certified 43% nuts, like you didn’t know that already 😉 I will try to top that at next years race, next step will be 78%, let’s see if I eventually make it to 160% that really would be mind blowing…

Arriving in Singapore on Saturday 30th August, didn’t leave me much time to get adjusted to the Singaporean climate. Sunday morning 5:00 o’clock I had to start running, so glad it was only a Half-Marathon anything more would probably kill me. I was dripping wet…
Now we have to prepare for my first Ultra-Marathon on the 20th September, it will be 43 k. That will be fun 😉
I guess the advantage of being tall is obvious 😉
