Back in hot and humid Singapore to reunite with my @rockrunnerssg this morning! SO HAPPY to see everyone - missed them all!! After the one-week training holiday, things are getting serious as my coach increases the intensity of the programme. 😱😱😱 Headed out for a 90-min run in this heat and I needed a drink so badly. Now to cool off in the pool with a swim!
Let me also introduce the #ROCKsolid team who will be reppin' #ROCKrunnersSG at the upcoming Asics City Relay with our other ROCK teams... This is made possible by the newly launched development programme supported by adidas. Grateful.
Happy weekend y'all!!!!!! #rockthenakedtruth #rockrunnerssg

Well done Chief for completed Ironman #70.3 Putrajaya. You have showed to everyone that mindset is what separates the best from the rest.
#Repost @khairykj with @repostapp.・・・Early this year my racing partner in crime @azziskandar AKA Beard asked me, "Let's do the Ironman 70.3." I laughed. We had never even done a triathlon before even over shorter distances. Neither had we run a half marathon. I said to him the 70.3 was just four months away. It would be impossible. Then being the idiots that we are, we started training.
Today, in Putrajaya yang panas nak mampus, we swam 1.9km, cycled 90km then ran a half marathon (21.1km) to finish Ironman 70.3 Putrajaya. Beard did it in something silly like 6 hours 14 minutes. I took my time and finished on target at 7 hours 36 mins. The photo time is the start time for the first participants.
Here in the photo I'm crossing the finish line with my swim coach Hafiz. He could have finished much earlier but paced me from start to finish. He's become a great friend and I couldn't have done it without him pushing me all the way. Owe you big time, bro.
Special thanks also to my KBS Panthers who did the relay and paced me also. Great effort from all of you guys led by Rizzo Peon - Taufik, Roy, Hassan, Boysham, Hisham, Mahyuddin, Rizwan, Zul. Haji Badak was on his motorbike shouting at me to keep going. Mel and team were amazing.
Diamond Gallanty was a towering presence. Of course, Pro Sayuti for all the training and prep. Zawawi for conditioning. And family and friends that came to give that extra boost when I needed it.
The message from this is not about me. It's about all of us. If we set our mind to do something, only we can stop us from making it happen. There were moments in the sweltering Putrajaya heat when I wanted to stop. But my mind told me to keep going. I willed myself to finish. Will yourself to achieve what you want. It's down to you. All you.
Oh, by the way the Ironman 70.3 is the half Ironman. The full Ironman in Langkawi is a 3.8km swim, 180km bike ride followed by a full marathon (42km). And yes, Beard has already asked me when we're doing that.
