The Spartan Race feels like having a baby. During the race, I swore I’d never do it again. Afterwards, when the pain is forgotten, all I can think about is the next race. So here I am, back again, for more… …with a new partner in crime – The Warrior Princess. I had promised toContinue reading “Spartan Super 2019 – Semenyih”

Viper Challenge Cyberjaya 2018
During the Spartan Sprint earlier this year, I vowed that it would be my first and last obstacle course race (OCR). Then, a couple of months back, I did the Northface Outdoor Challenge. Last weekend, I completed the Viper Challenge in Cyberjaya. Okay, I admit it, I’ve been infected with the bug. Next year, I’llContinue reading “Viper Challenge Cyberjaya 2018”
The Northface Outdoor Challenge 2018
On Sunday 14 October 2018, the Jungle Babes entered their first team OCR event – the Northface Outdoor Challenge. In our team of nine, six were racing for the first time ever. To encourage our newbie racers, we opted for the advance category – 15 km and 8 obstacles – instead of the elite categoryContinue reading “The Northface Outdoor Challenge 2018”
2XU Compression Run 2018: Half Marathon
Recording details of races I’ve participated in is something I’ve been doing for a while. I think it is important because it helps me to see where I was and how far I’ve come in my journey. Looking back at how I’ve done and analysing what I could have done differently is also a greatContinue reading “2XU Compression Run 2018: Half Marathon”
IJM Duo Highway Challenge – The Half Marathon
This is Part 2 of the IJM Duo Highway Challenge that took place on Sunday 29 July 2018. My first #21kmrun in more than a decade. It was harder than I remembered. Crawled back home to rest my broken legs. Maybe I shouldn’t have signed up for that second one in September… 🤔 . . .Continue reading “IJM Duo Highway Challenge – The Half Marathon”
IJM Duo Highway Challenge 2018 – Part 1
Back on the road after the Spartan Sprint in Semenyih with the IJM Duo Highway Challenge. After all the training I’ve been doing for the Spartan race, I am pleased to note that I have come back to my regular activities feeling a lot stronger. I still remember when an “easy” 10km on a Sunday wouldContinue reading “IJM Duo Highway Challenge 2018 – Part 1”
Spartan Sprint 2018 – Semenyih
After months of training, it all culminates on this one day – race day. Team Jungle Babes lost a few members to injury during training and other things, but we made it in the end. We were registered for the elite category – why elite? Because we didn’t want to race in the sun. TurnsContinue reading “Spartan Sprint 2018 – Semenyih”
SCKLM 2018: 10KM Cruise
On Sunday 8 April 2018, DH and I ran in the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon (SCKLM). DH completed his first half marathon and I ran an “easy 10km” in the Cruise category. They call it an “easy 10” but I don’t think I will ever find 10km “easy”. I mean, check out that maskContinue reading “SCKLM 2018: 10KM Cruise”
