It made me realised how weak I was in bike. After the Spain World University Triathlon Championships in June this year, I store my bicycle into BIKE LABZ shop right after i touched down from the airport. From then till now, I have not ride a single time on the bike. Having no training at all for the bike leg, I felt useless right after the 5.5km run and right into the 32km bike...<br /><br />the 5.5km run gave me the boost of entering the transition area as the first sprint lady... as the motor cycle followed me out of the transition, it slowly moved forward as the rest of the girls came passing me. i felt so relax on the bike as I did not know how to really push in the bike leg.. As people ride past me, I was smiling at them, signalling my relax and "take it easy" posture:)<br /><br />as the 32km bike leg came to an end, It was time to run again.. 5km... I was wondering how much time I will take and what position I would end up with. However, given no pacing or girls right in front to chase, I ran hard, but not as hard. In end end clocking a good 5km timing after the bike... 7th position. My worst ever duathlon race i have done before... all due to lack of bike training..<br /><br />I looked back at my 2008 results where i came in 3rd for the long distance 11km run, 64km bike and then 11km run... I realised that my bike time for the 64km bike leg was 2 hr 9min... and for this year 32km i did 1 hr 12 mins... it is really a joke.. but compared my running times, I improved tremendously. <br /><br />I guess that is what happens when I shifted my focus from triathlon to running. I have never regretted it once. the sprint served as a good gauge of my running form and speed, it also served as a pretty good motivation for me...<br /><br />to train harder for the upcoming Asean University Games 10km and 5km the day after...<br /><br />:)Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-35282371188545843122010-11-16T03:16:00.001+08:002010-11-16T03:17:49.643+08:00I have always enjoyed training with Athlon Team with Joe, Ilyas, Atiqi, Vivian, Ronnie and the rest of the team until recently. It hit me hard when I realised that my coach's focus has shifted to another individual. It has always been very great to be close to coach, however because of the inclusion of a particular individual, I find that coach no longer put the same amount of attention to us. It hit me really hard as I find it hard to smile even at trainings now.Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-73756863598477486002010-10-23T10:59:00.004+08:002010-10-23T11:06:22.784+08:00NIKE CITY RUN RACE ROUTE 2010<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/TMJP18rKPwI/AAAAAAAAD_s/dzuv9w-JHHc/s1600/race+route.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/TMJP18rKPwI/AAAAAAAAD_s/dzuv9w-JHHc/s320/race+route.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531071080603205378" /></a>Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-74901647845121396122010-10-23T10:55:00.005+08:002010-10-23T11:08:04.583+08:00NEWS ON NIKE CITY RUN 2010High-Energy Nike City 10K Run <br />Flags Off at Marina Bay Floating Platform <br />Runners will be energised by four vibrant entertainment zones along the race route as they lace up to raise US$30,000 for the Singapore Children’s Society<br /><br />October 20, 2010 (Singapore) – Runners can look forward to a high energy celebration of sports at the Nike City 10K Singapore, which flags off next to the Marina Bay Floating Platform this Sunday, 24th October. Combining music and sports to give runners an unparalleled experience, the Nike City 10K will see four entertainment zones featuring different genres of music such as Dance, Pop, Rock and Hip Hop along the ten kilometre route. <br /><br />Members of the public can also enjoy a piece of the action by joining the runners for an adrenaline-pumping finale concert at the end of the race. All this action and more will be taking place at the Marina Bay Floating Platform, where award-winning DJ Adrian Wee will spin an array of disco and house music, while Sixx, one of Singapore’s best hip hop bands, will take to the stage with live performances showcasing their fusion of Hip Hop, Funk, Soul and Jazz.<br /><br />Vijaya Kumar Jayaraj, the Singapore Marketing Manager for Nike, said, “We promise runners a unique experience – a scenic route complete with the best of music entertainment in Singapore. We could not have wished for a more ideal start and finish location, the pride of Singapore that is the Marina Bay Floating Platform, host to international events such as the recent Youth Olympic Games’ Opening and Closing ceremonies.”<br /><br />The floating platform certainly serves as the perfect end point of a scenic route, which will take runners past iconic sights like the Singapore Flyer and the Formula One pit building, giving them a chance to pound the same track as Formula One superstars Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton. Runners will make their way along the Nicoll Highway before making a loop at Kallang Road to embark on a return leg along the Marina Promenade and F1 track that eventually leads back to the floating platform.<br />(Please view Annex A for map and details)<br /><br />The four designated entertainment zones along the route are set to keep runners’ spirits high. Local band Swagger takes centre-stage just 1.5 kilometres into the start with their covers of Top 40s and classic tunes from the 1960s to 1980s in the Pop Zone along Nicoll Highway. Participants will also be greeted by energetic dancers grooving in the Hip Hop Zone, located at the Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) junction on Nicoll Highway. Runners will end their run on a high by boogying away in true Retro-style with dancers at the Republic Avenue tunnel and they will be welcomed by popular rock acts such as the SHeares Band and Lylee on the final sprint of the race along the F1 track.<br />(Please view Annex B for entertainment details)<br /><br /><br /><br />Besides the great music and entertainment, participants will also be motivated to do their best for a good cause. The Nike City 10K Singapore is the Lion City’s first ever inter-city rivalry race, which has seen runners in Singapore challenging their neighbours in Kuala Lumpur (KL) for charity. <br /><br />Singapore and KL are two of 22 cities around the world that are part of the Nike City 10K run this year. In addition to the physical race, Singapore and KL are the only two cities that have been challenging each other in a virtual race, where runners have been clocking mileage for their city since 1st September using a Nike+ SportBand to sync their mileage on Nikeplus.com.sg. The city with the highest mileage recorded on 31st October will receive a US$30,000 donation from Nike to its adopted charity. Singapore runners have chosen the Singapore Children’s Society as their adopted charity while Kuala Lumpur has picked Hope Worldwide Kuala Lumpur.<br /><br />Currently in the lead, Singapore runners have risen to the Singapore-KL challenge and are in prime position to win the US$30,000 donation for disadvantaged children and youths through the Singapore Children’s Society. <br /><br />“We wish to thank the 12,000 Singapore runners who have snapped up all the slots for the race and we are encouraged by their effort to beat Kuala Lumpur to the US$30,000 donation for the Singapore Children’s Society,” said Jayaraj.<br /><br />Alfred Tan, Executive Director of the Singapore Children’s Society, also expressed his appreciation when he said, “We are truly touched by the support from runners of the Nike City 10K. Our aim is to reach out and extend help to disadvantaged children and the Nike City 10K inter-city rivalry challenge is certainly a novel way to raise interest in running and awareness of the charity.’’<br /><br /> For more information on Nike City 10K Singapore, please log on to www.nikerunning.com.sg<br />………………………….<br />NIKE, Inc.<br /><br />NIKE, Inc. based near Beaverton, Oregon, is the world's leading designer, marketer and distributor of authentic athletic footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories for a wide variety of sports and fitness activities.

Starting off as a DJ more than a decade ago, Adrian steadily earned his stripes within the local club circuit and established himself as one of the finest in the country. His expansive style that spans from disco to house, from electro to alternative rock, has earned him much recognition from the press and public. Adrian was awarded ‘Best Local DJ’ in club magazine ‘JUICE’ in 2002, ‘Best DJ’ in the Motorola ‘Super-Style Mix Awards’ in 2007, while Adrian's indie-disco club night POPTART was picked as ‘Best Local Club Night’ in 2005 and runner-up as ‘Most Up-For-It Crowd’ in JUICE Magazine’s ‘Best of 2005’ awards.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sixx</span> <br />Formed in Oct 2007, the band draws from their diverse musical backgrounds to create a signature sound that combines the spirit of ‘60s and ‘70s soul with the energy of rock and indelible groove of hip hop. Sixx, whose name was inspired by how they knew each other – six degrees of separation – comprises of Kevin Lester (rapper), Aarika Lee (vocals), Kelvin Ang (guitar), Timothy De Cotta (bass), Hsu Xiao Hui (keyboards) and Mark Chan (drum). With their fusion of Hip Hop, funk, soul and Jazz, Sixx has been hailed by its peers as “the best hip hop band in Singapore”. <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Performing at Race Village and POP Zone (Near Nicoll Highway)<br /><br />Swagger</span><br />Swagger came together as different as they are alike: every member a big fan of music, but each with their own preference of genre. As each member exerts his own individual influence on their sound, they find a mélange of styles that translates into a unique, singular Swagger groove that delightfully defies the genres and definitions that limit some bands. Aisyah (vocals), WeiShan (co-vocalist & keyboardist), Yee Kiat (bass), Fah Yik (guitar) and Shah Azad (drums) will rock the stage with their covers of Top 40s or classics from the 60s, 70s or the 80s in electric and acoustic sets.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Performing at HIP HOP Zone (Bus bay after KPE exit along Nicoll Highway)<br /><br />Hip Hop Dance Blast Group</span><br />7 energetic Hip Hop dancers to boost the race.

Lylee's influences vary across numerous genres such as metal, rock, acoustic, dance, pop, including bands such as Muse, Switchfoot, Lifehouse, Hillsong United, Acceptance, The Classic Crime and so much more. They strive to bring something new to the table each time they play. Lylee loves what they do and hopes to create music that tugs at heartstrings.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">SHeares Band</span><br />SHeares Band consists of 13 NUS undergraduates who reside in Sheares Hall. Members of this band come from diverse musical influences and background. Prepare to rock out with them as they perform covers of songs that range from radio friendly pop tunes to hard rock!Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-43533741123061130102010-10-07T12:14:00.003+08:002010-10-07T12:26:23.039+08:00NIKE female athletes meet up<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/TK1LvLe12-I/AAAAAAAAD_c/XDSrGuW_NvE/s1600/IMG_1767.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/TK1LvLe12-I/AAAAAAAAD_c/XDSrGuW_NvE/s320/IMG_1767.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525155591761550306" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Yesterday was a splendid day at NIKE WISMA ATRIA... all of the women athletes, Vivian Tang, Anne Date, Jeanette Wang, Hui Qin and Me who are under NIKE sponsorship or seeding were down at NIKE Wisma for an interview session with an invited guest from NIKE U.S.<br /><br />It was a fun and warmth atmosphere where we all finally got together, not at a competitive running scene, but having some nice drinks together:)<br /></span>Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-72822590491140736482010-10-06T11:57:00.001+08:002010-10-06T11:58:49.643+08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/TKvz0VMiiII/AAAAAAAAD_U/9ldWw-_BqXM/s1600/Nike_SB09_Pink.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/TKvz0VMiiII/AAAAAAAAD_U/9ldWw-_BqXM/s320/Nike_SB09_Pink.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524777448268531842" /></a><br /><br />Runners, if u are interested in a nice and light watch, something to go with ur stunning running attire, do try this!:)Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-83461960310659054202010-10-06T11:36:00.003+08:002010-10-06T11:44:51.991+08:00NIKE CITY RUN<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/TKvwmz3DaWI/AAAAAAAAD-k/aEemRkFwwuI/s1600/NIKE+CITY+10K_SG_POSTER+(mid-res).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/TKvwmz3DaWI/AAAAAAAAD-k/aEemRkFwwuI/s320/NIKE+CITY+10K_SG_POSTER+(mid-res).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524773917446859106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/TKvwd9ye9nI/AAAAAAAAD-c/Pug_gvm4CcE/s1600/NIKE+CITY+10K_SG+MASTER+VISUAL+(mid-res).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/TKvwd9ye9nI/AAAAAAAAD-c/Pug_gvm4CcE/s320/NIKE+CITY+10K_SG+MASTER+VISUAL+(mid-res).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524773765493225074" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">NIKE CITY 10K<br /><br />Nike launches Singapore’s first ever inter-city rivalry race against Malaysia, giving runners a chance to lace up for a good cause <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />September 1, 2010 (Singapore) – The Lion City will host its first ever inter-city rivalry race in October with the launch of the Nike City 10K Singapore, a unique celebration of sport that connects and inspires young runners here to lace up against runners in neighbouring city Kuala Lumpur for a good cause.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are two out of the 22 cities around the world that will be hosting the newly introduced Nike City 10K this year.

Due to the overwhelming registration response for the Nike Human Race in Singapore for the last two years, this year’s Nike City 10K Singapore will expand its capacity from 10,000 to 12,000 runners. <br /><br /> <br /><br />The 12,000 participants can look forward to enjoying a special running experience, with vibrant performances positioned in 4 entertainment and motivational zones along the race route to motivate and energize the runners. <br /><br /> <br /><br />“We understand how our runners embrace music and hope to give them an unparalleled running experience by combining their love for music and sport. City runs are increasingly popular among runners, and the Nike City 10K will energize runners even more with a unique city challenge against our neighbours in Malaysia ,” said Vijaya Kumar Jayaraj, Singapore Marketing Manager.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Registration for the Nike City 10K opens today, as runners can sign up for either the Open category (Men / Women) or Under 25 category (Men / Women). Young runners can also sign up for the School category, which is open to runners from secondary schools, junior colleges, polytechnics and universities.

Womens game in the Great Eastern challenge at NUS:)<br /><br />I attended the first training on Tuesday evening, second training on Wednesday evening and just tried out the first ever game yesterday evening :)<br /><br />It was fun, however, definitely tiring!<br />I never realised that waterpolo can actually be so tiring on the body. <br /><br />The shots I did were lousy as I called it! With zero experience, I just tried to do my very best.<br /><br />Our NTU team was up against a full Swimmer team - Combined POLY team.<br />We could not outswim any of the swimmers there. We practically just played tight.<br /><br />Overall, it was a good experience. I managed to score 1 goal, but that was sufficient boost for me to cont the next few matches on the 14th and 19th:)<br /><br />Looking forward to playing with the team:) they are wonderful pple!:) Love u gals:)</strong>Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-51303703305561118862009-12-06T15:08:00.012+08:002009-12-06T15:25:26.846+08:00Angkor Wat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtcEDGRCkI/AAAAAAAAD9E/4NDwVFXA5IY/s1600-h/PC061813.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtcEDGRCkI/AAAAAAAAD9E/4NDwVFXA5IY/s320/PC061813.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412020601836603970" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/Sxtb4VycQqI/AAAAAAAAD88/TPP_-1n6n3A/s1600-h/PC061810.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/Sxtb4VycQqI/AAAAAAAAD88/TPP_-1n6n3A/s320/PC061810.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412020400695296674" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/Sxtbsb1wnXI/AAAAAAAAD80/NfSFfzn4Bmc/s1600-h/PC061807.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/Sxtbsb1wnXI/AAAAAAAAD80/NfSFfzn4Bmc/s320/PC061807.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412020196161396082" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtbS5rAIOI/AAAAAAAAD8s/IhjnXjPhHS4/s1600-h/PC061799.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtbS5rAIOI/AAAAAAAAD8s/IhjnXjPhHS4/s320/PC061799.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412019757492740322" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtbIxhalnI/AAAAAAAAD8k/61sNTd2Kc6E/s1600-h/PC061771.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtbIxhalnI/AAAAAAAAD8k/61sNTd2Kc6E/s320/PC061771.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412019583506355826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/Sxta-3R4GTI/AAAAAAAAD8c/Jkl8G87dngU/s1600-h/PC061766.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/Sxta-3R4GTI/AAAAAAAAD8c/Jkl8G87dngU/s320/PC061766.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412019413253101874" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtazoQGZLI/AAAAAAAAD8U/vB5QqLVM2is/s1600-h/PC061759.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtazoQGZLI/AAAAAAAAD8U/vB5QqLVM2is/s320/PC061759.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412019220240557234" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtaeKKRB7I/AAAAAAAAD8M/Z15XFKjBYNk/s1600-h/PC061749.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtaeKKRB7I/AAAAAAAAD8M/Z15XFKjBYNk/s320/PC061749.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412018851385771954" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtZ0U_18TI/AAAAAAAAD78/EG3ZN96YTBo/s1600-h/PC061717.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SxtZ0U_18TI/AAAAAAAAD78/EG3ZN96YTBo/s320/PC061717.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412018132740337970" /></a><br />Angkor Wat's race is really an eye opener:) Well organised (except for the start havoc).... hehe:)<br /><br />But i guess everyone comes here to do a good timing as the route is friendly, easy to run and definitely the weather here is much cooling. It starts to get hot only 2 hours after the race:) so if one comes in below 2hours for a 21km, then you should be shielded from the sun:) <br /><br />I was feeling butterflies in my stomach when I stood at the start point.. among all guys, they were squeezing and nobody wanted to give way... it was pretty unlike Singapore where ladies say "excuse me" and guys would give way... over here, i was practically like a hamburger meat... I even had to put my hands in front of my chest to prevent people from squeezing!!! hahaah...<br /><br /><br />Reflection of my 10km race today:<br /><br />The start of the 10km was chaos. The organisers held the board high up and asked us to stand behind a specific line, however the board was placed 10m infront. It created a chaos and people were shifting backwards, after that, they realised that the shift was not needed, everybody dashed to the front.<br /><br />I dashed too to get a good start position.<br /><br />I started off pretty fast as I did not want to be trampled upon. Many people were pushing each other and there were some people who fell and were stepped on!!!<br /><br />First 2km i was doing at 4:20min pace... i felt it was too quick, so i slowed down. Maintained at 4.30mins for the next 2km... after that, I could not really mark out the 1km timings as the markings on the floor was very confusing and was more inclined towards the 21km race. There was practically no markings for the 10km.. so I had to rely on the 21km markings and count backwards, but still, it din seem too accurate.<br /><br />I stuck with a cambodian runner for 3km and then at the 7km, I felt strong. I fastened up my footsteps a little quicker and held on to the pace for some time. At the last 1km, i felt strong and waved in and out of the 3km and 5km runners to get space.<br /><br />As i turned in to the finishing end point, i saw the clock, 42mins 01 seconds!!! i was smiling as i finished the race.<br /><br />Felt that I could have pushed a little more.. Din really felt dehydrated this time.

The crew at Red Sports are all volunteers and we cover events so that we can raise the profile of Singapore sports and have certainly no malice against anyone. Of course, we have our fair share of mistakes as with anyone and this matter has been resolved with Sumiko.<br /><br />Every report has its pros and cons:) and definitely some are negative reports...<br />in due respect of the athletes and the sport, as long as the report is true, We should all respect the reporter's view:)<br /><br />However, I still favour the reports of Redsports and the huge enthusiasm of the writers:) and will continue to give my support!!!<br />:)</span>Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-30319297373764350052009-10-25T23:17:00.009+08:002009-10-25T23:27:51.477+08:00NIKE HUMAN RACE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRuak0sJ3I/AAAAAAAAD7s/YYef62ceu1M/s1600-h/241020094268.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRuak0sJ3I/AAAAAAAAD7s/YYef62ceu1M/s320/241020094268.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396559656337024882" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRuW7WEgOI/AAAAAAAAD7k/C5oeDuTZfLk/s1600-h/241020094266.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRuW7WEgOI/AAAAAAAAD7k/C5oeDuTZfLk/s320/241020094266.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396559593663135970" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRuRQhAjQI/AAAAAAAAD7c/aOEPZeJdi1Y/s1600-h/241020094264.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRuRQhAjQI/AAAAAAAAD7c/aOEPZeJdi1Y/s320/241020094264.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396559496266943746" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRuL_fgHtI/AAAAAAAAD7U/xR3q1RODYJA/s1600-h/241020094270.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRuL_fgHtI/AAAAAAAAD7U/xR3q1RODYJA/s320/241020094270.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396559405797875410" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRuIelqddI/AAAAAAAAD7M/G9nMbki-Y5Y/s1600-h/241020094256.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRuIelqddI/AAAAAAAAD7M/G9nMbki-Y5Y/s320/241020094256.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396559345425741266" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRt_EMoXJI/AAAAAAAAD68/zUzrTn95WXE/s1600-h/8925_163718380473_585075473_3278079_5391347_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRt_EMoXJI/AAAAAAAAD68/zUzrTn95WXE/s320/8925_163718380473_585075473_3278079_5391347_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396559183722601618" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRt6krO1kI/AAAAAAAAD60/bJFNzLsP2xo/s1600-h/8925_163718275473_585075473_3278060_5952434_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuRt6krO1kI/AAAAAAAAD60/bJFNzLsP2xo/s320/8925_163718275473_585075473_3278060_5952434_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396559106541540930" /></a><br />NIKE Human race<br /><br />The race was fun, enjoyable and obviously exciting because not only we got to see the usual competitors, we also got to see old friends, old classmates and also people who just want to exercise:) it was great seeing these people coming together for a common goal:)<br /><br />I managed to start off with a relatively good pace:) maintained with the ongoing ups and downs with strong female competitors coming up overtaking, shaking off pple and also pushing the pace quicker:)<br /><br />The last part of the pit was a super happening one... we saw 450m left... and I made a mistake, I sped up at that moment, overtaken the 3rd Women from the Open cat... and then pushed the pace... however the more I run, the worst I felt!!! haahahah the last dash was not ending!!! seems sooo long even though we could see the finishing end line just in front of us...and I got overtaken at the last 10-20m... HMM:) a lesson learnt:) be patient:)<br />However, I must give it to Baoying.. super good and friendly competition pushing the pace to a greater level!!! great work babe!!!<br /><br />However, it was also a great thing to be able to squeeze into the top 3 of the under 25 category:) geat competition there:)<br />managed to luckily get 1st:) managed to go a PB for this run:)<br /><br />Thanks to my sponsor NIKE:) Andrew from NIKE, and also my fav shades which brought me thru this...<br />Special thanks to my good friend, Joshua Toh who was a great running companion throughout the race!!!<br /><br />Thanks to Wendi (Joshua's wife), Leon and Junko and Athlon team...<br /><br />Oh one more thing!!!! really proud of Ah Beng Buddy who did his ultimate PB!!!! wooowowowowowoww... hehehe:)<br /><br />Location: F1 Pit Building:)<br /><br />Kinda disappointed with RedSports.sg for reporting the wrong info... they reported <br /><br />Sumiko Tan, who placed fourth, had to literally crawl across the finishing line as she stumbled right at the end and had to be helped off. (Photo 7 © Lai Jun Wei/Red Sports)<br /><br />and then put a picture of me stumbled on the floor...<br /><br />I did not LITERALLY CRAWL across the finishing end line... as what they reported... I collapsed after crossing the end point ... and due to dehydration, I had to be helped by my friend, not first aiders...<br /><br />why do they assume from picture what happened and just report as they liked to?<br /><br />I have been suffering from Dehydration from races ever since I collapsed in a marathon at 36km mark 2 years back..Doctors suspected a heat stroke... ever since then, body seems to be having a little slow recovery...Like whenever i race, I can feel the body dehydrating..<br /><br />Last dec 08, after finishing the race, my body gave way too... partially dehydrated, then 09 june in thailand also the same thing happened after the race ended...<br /><br />I spoke to my lecturer on this and he advised me to look into my nutrition. Have been trying to better it...<br /><br />I seriously do not think that what the reporter has written has ever gone through serious considerations for a runner...the negativity is great and really disappointing...<br /><br />Look at the picture above... I finished at the end line... DID I CRAWL to the finishing line?????Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-5454550581850309322009-10-23T03:25:00.005+08:002009-10-23T03:27:46.484+08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SuCyIJjge6I/AAAAAAAAD6k/2HVipaY0PLE/s1600-h/10531_161097265263_517395263_3252257_7492358_n.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Shin did not hurt much... it was great competition:) I was lucky to have coach and teammates there cheering for me...<br /><br />However, the following week 3km was not that good... I was doing quite an ok pace for the first 3.5rounds... right into the 4th round, my heel started to have this sudden pain which started from the heel to the shin... then the pain came on and off... i dropped from 2nd placing to 6th placing by the 5th lap.. By then I was pretty demoralised and was tolerating the pain... <br /><br />I decided to drop out of the race.. as I had 2 other races coming up this week.. the struggle was not quite worth it if i strained my legs...<br /><br />Feel pretty upset but I guess it's part and parcel of every athletes life...:) Thanks for all the support:)<br /><br />Today we had the X campus run:) 6.8km Around NTU and up and down the SLOPES!!! my most hateful series of run.. <br /><br />I managed to get a good timing:) 29mins:) Lost to an exchange students who is a runner for her state:) SHE RUNS A 2.06mins for 800m.... gosh!!!!! i was like super astonished with her timing!!! her legs were soooo long....:)<br /><br />We had great competition.. both of us were trying to push the pace and held on to each other closely from the start line to 5km plus..:) at the last 800m to 1km, she pushed off, leaving me to chase after her!!! she took one step, i had to take 1.5 to 2 steps... WHY AM I SO SHORT>>> haahahaaha... but i guess the stronger runner always win the race:)<br /><br />I am glad to achieve second:) it's a great timing though... at least the foot did not hurt till the end of the race:)<br /><br />My team which consisted of Zhiyong, Feroz and Kenny came in first:) heheeh:) Zhiyong came in 1st for indi, feroz came in 2nd and kenny came in 8th:)<br /><br />Great teamwork and support!!!<br /><br />Some pictures from today's race:) ABOVE:)</span>Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-88288674936830680712009-10-20T21:31:00.000+08:002009-10-20T21:32:05.084+08:00<span style="font-weight:bold;">3,000 members of the public get the chance to attend concert by top local and regional acts at Nike+ Human Race<br />Rock acts such as Estranged and Agrikulture will join local bands The Fire Fight and Composition B on stage for a musical treat at the world’s largest running event!<br /><br /> <br />October 20, 2009 (Singapore) – Some 3,000 people will get the opportunity to watch their favorite local and regional bands live on stage this Saturday at the F1 Track during the Nike+ Human Race 10K. With all registration slots snapped up in a record six days for the race of more than 10,000 runners, the Nike+ Human Race concert will now open its doors to members of the public on Saturday, 24th October. <br /><br />Mr Glenn Heng, Marketing Manager, Nike South East Asia and Singapore said, “The Nike+ Human Race has set itself apart from other races in Singapore by understanding how our runners love music and embrace the race concert as part of their celebration after the event. To heighten the celebratory moment, we are opening the race concert to the public to join in the fun and bring this event to a new level!”<br />The public is welcome to join in the unique heart-pumping concert flag-off at 7am along the start lines of the F1 Pit Straight. The first 3,000 members of the public will be given access to the concert this Saturday on a first-come, first-served basis.<br />A highly energetic concert is expected to round up celebrations of the world’s largest running event, held on the same day in more than 30 cities worldwide, with powerhouses Thaitanium (Thailand), Agrikulture (Indonesia), Estranged (Malaysia) Chicosci and Taken By Cars (Philippines) as well as local talents Composition B and The Fire Fight taking to the stage. (please see Annex for more details)<br />For Eugene Chan, the chance to see his idols Thaitanium in the flesh is something he has been looking forward to since he missed the registration for the event. Enthused the 25-year old, “ I think it’s great that music-lovers such as myself are given a chance to catch our idols on stage and be part of an exciting event even though we did not sign up for the race! What matters to me is the experience we get out of the concert!” <br />Malaysian rock band Estranged will kick start the festivities for the day as they are set to play at the first flag-off, followed by a star-studded lineup which includes Philippine’s Taken By Cars. Indonesia’s Agrikulture is expected to welcome the first runner at the finishing point with their electro-dance mixes that will set the adrenaline pumping for the rest of the acts that follow. <br /><br /><br /><br />Singapore is once again the only South East Asian city selected to host the event, amongst 30 major cities worldwide.<br />The race this year will start and end at the F1 Pit building while bringing runners on a scenic route past Kampong Glam mosque, the National Stadium, Kallang Leisure Park, the Police Coast Guard and Kallang Water Sports Centre.<br />For more information on the Nike+ Human Race 10K, please log on to www.nikeplus.com.sg.<br /><br />NIKE, Inc.<br />NIKE, Inc. based near Beaverton, Oregon, is the world's leading designer, marketer and distributor of authentic athletic footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories for a wide variety of sports and fitness activities.

Being the only city in South East Asia to host the Nike+ Human Race 2009, these musical talents will take centre stage in Singapore in a distinctly designed event to amplify the runners' experience.<br /><br /><br />THE MUSIC<br />(Please contact IMSG for any email or phone interview requests for the following bands)<br />Agrikulture (Indonesia)<br />Indonesian dance rockers Agrikulture is a must-see for all fans of music. More than meeting the demands of contemporary music culture, their tracks are as well suited for the speakers in clubs as well as through live amplifiers in a concert arena. Their dynamic live set is merely a testament to the rigorous details set in their tracks. <br /><br />Estranged (Malaysia)<br />Quoted to be one of Malaysia's finest rock acts, Estranged is no stranger to playing to huge crowds, having festivals like MTV Worldstage, Kuala Lumpur's Sunburst and Taiwan's biggest festival Ho Hai Yan Rock among many others, as landmarks of their musical métier. Always breaking boundaries in song writing, this quartet packs in a fresh punch in their compositions with their brand of heavy rock music. <br /><br />Taken By Cars (Philippines)<br />Many acts claim to have a myriad of influences in composing songs, but Taken By Cars go further than just writing indie rhythms, they are creating a language that speaks to all of us. One of the most decorated bands in this year's line-up, our Filipino neighbours Taken By Cars have won Junk Magazine's 2008 Junksounds Regional Music Awards, "Album of the Year" as well as numerous accolades including wins and nominations in the 2008 NU107 Rock Awards, 2009 MYX Music Awards and 2009 AVIMA (Asia Voice Independent Music Awards). <br /><br />Chicosci (Philippines)<br />Chicosci has come a long way since their collective initiation. Their take on music laces modern rock technicalities with pop sensibilities. Already having 4 albums under its belt, the band has won the 'Best Directed Video' for the 2001 MTV Pilipinas Awards as well as the 2002 NU 107 Rock Awards' "Song of the Year" after staying in the NU 107 Midnight Countdown for more than 52 weeks, a feat that was then unchallenged by both local and foreign acts. The Nike + Human Race Concert is one of the many venues Chicosci are playing to promote their new material.<br /><br />Thaitanium (Thailand)<br />One might wonder how a concoction is rendered when you put the influences of Thai and New York street sounds into a mix. Thaitanium must have gotten the formula right, earning them a slot in opening for 50 Cent's 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' tour with Fort Minor. This concoction they've concocted has also won them recognition for 'Best Group of the Year' by Fat Radio and SEED FM as well as 'Best Hip Hop Album of the Year' by Season Magazine. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Composition B (Singapore)<br />One of the representatives from Singapore in this year's Nike + Human Race Concert is Composition_B. Having only formed in 2008, this band isn't short in talent as they are in years of being together. Tapping influences from the roots of the alternative rock genre, this new trio articulates their music in a vehicle that's pensive in thought and furious in execution. The trio is currently working on the debut EP which is aimed to be released in 2010. <br /><br />The Fire Fight (Singapore)<br />Probably one of the most under-rated bands here and quoted to be the 'next big thing' in Singapore, their latest contribution to Singapore's audio libraries, 'Henri' was well received by the press and their fans, selling out their launch show at the Esplanade Recital Studio, which is already an accomplishment on its own. The Fire Fight is meticulous in their execution and this is thoroughly evident in both their releases and their live performances. Don't expect anything less from this quartet at this year's Nike+ Human Race Concert.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span>Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-27770906206733568242009-10-13T00:04:00.000+08:002009-10-13T00:05:01.582+08:00<strong><strong><strong>Information for the Nike+ Human Race Entry Pack Collection

Though NTU sent in the wrong list of swimmers and about 11 of us had to swim relays instead of our individual events, we all took it in our stride. The team spirit and morale was strong:)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;">I felt good and worst at the end of the session. I did 4 x 50m freestyle relay and 4 x 50m medley relay.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;">At the 4 x 50m freestyle relay, I was the third swimmer, did a 35seconds for the 50m sprint. I have not done any times under 37seconds ever since i started swimming as I have always been either swimming 37 seconds, or swimming long distances in triathlons and biathlons. Was rather happy. Our team got third for the relay.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;">then came the 4 x 50m medley, I was the anchor swimmer, received the touch pass by the teammate swimming Fly and I plunged in, swam as hard as I could, however got caught up at the end by NUS team B. I felt so bad, felt very guilty because I lost the 3rd placing for my team.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;">I did an even better timing, 34seconds, but I was unable to hold on to the 3rd place for my team. I kept apologising.... I am really sorry for causing this loss... I guess I have to swim faster, train harder.... apologies...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">recovering from Shin Splint...</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Yesterday's training was a good session. Even though I had to walk down the slopes after sprinting up (instead of jogging down as usual), I still felt a sense of achievement. Managed to do 6 laps instead of the usual 7-8 laps if i jog down the slopes...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">When I am down with an injury, I obviously feel sad. But what can I do but pray for fast recovery, do easy sessions and also alternate exercises to keep my body moving. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">I feel that my body has given way and become weaker and slower... but I always tell myself, nothing is always at its peak. there are always times that people fall, always ups and downs. Next year is my aim, now? Just a phase which I have to go through before I reach my aim next year:)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Managed to meet up with my NTU Xtry gals on Monday for a light training session. Right under the sorching hot sun, we did 8 sets of 200m fas strides with 200m light jog inbetween:) went well:)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Today's training was splendid as Ilyas picked me up from hostel to travel down to ECP for a light and easy run:) Easy runs always seem good.... Legs felt sore from yesterday's hill sessions but was still able to run through the session today. Felt the shin splint acting up, just have to ice it again:)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">This Saturday race at West Coast Park.. SUNIG Xtry... I know I would not be able to perform at my best ability, but well, just do my part as a part of NTU Team:)</span>Sumiko Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684085925117909981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33942258.post-15066953605574246972009-09-23T01:12:00.001+08:002009-09-23T01:15:03.642+08:00<span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"><strong>DETAILS ABOUT NIKE GUYS VERSUS GIRLS RACE</strong></span><br /><br /><strong>Nike+ Human Race 10K to give 500 more runners the chance to experience the world’s most anticipated running event<br />The first 1,000 runners who purchase a Nike+ SportBand will also enjoy a complimentary entry into the race which has seen registration entries snapped up in record time<br /><br />September 18, 2009 (Singapore) – 500 more young runners will get the chance to be part of the world’s biggest running event, the Nike+ Human Race 10K, which has met with an overwhelming response in Singapore. Close to 9,000 runners booked their date to run with the world, in less than a week after registration counters were officially opened. Public registration slots were filled by Monday, 14 September. </strong><br /><br /><strong>Due to the great public response, Nike has decided to release an additional 500 slots for runners who did not manage to book their places for the 24th October event. In addition, the first 1,000 customers who purchase the latest edition of the Nike+ Sportband will be given a complimentary entry into the much sought after Nike+ Human Race 10K. </strong><br /><br /><strong>Mr Glenn Heng, Nike’s Southeast Asia Marketing Manager, said, “We, at Nike, are simply thrilled by the fact that so many people have signed up so quickly, and this proves that the Nike+ Human Race 10K is truly one of the most anticipated running events in Singapore.”<br />“The participants all enjoyed their experience last year and wish to come back for more. We have decided to extend another 500 slots to runners so that more people can enjoy the chance to to run together with others around the world. By hosting the Nike+ Human Race 10K, we hope to inspire more runners in Singapore to be part of this unique experience on the day that the world runs,” he added. </strong><br /><br /><strong>500 registration entries will be released to the public on Wednesday, 23rd September, at 11am, exclusively at the Nike flagship store at Wisma Atria.</strong><br /><br /><strong>While no purchase is required, each person can only register for themselves, and registration will be limited to a first-come-first served basis. Payments are strictly by credit cards or NETS only.<br />The opening of 500 additional slots for the Nike+ Human Race 10K is certainly great news to running enthusiast, 23-year-old Singapore Institute of Management student James Lim, who ran his first race during last year’s Nike+ Human Race 10K. He said, “Before I became a regular runner, I never thought that I could complete a 10km run, let alone compete in an actual race! Being part of the Nike+ Human Race 10K last year was a really special experience for me, as I was motivated and inspired by being part of such a huge running event for the world.”<br />Marcus Wee, James’ school mate, chorused, “I had an awesome time with James at the race last year, and it’s great that runners who buy the Nike+ Sportband can get a free entry into the race this year. I’ve been meaning to get the Sportband to help me with my runs, and getting it now will be like killing two birds with one stone for many runners!”</strong><br /><br /><strong>Runners who wish to do their part for charity can take part in the virtual Guys VS Girls Challenge on Nike+ this year. Guys, led by Mediacorp artiste Tay Ping Hui, will run for the WWF while girls, led by Hype Records’ artiste Rui En, will run for The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund. Each gender will try to clock the most number of kilometers in the weeks leading to the Nike+ Human Race 10K in order to earn a donation from Nike to their charity. </strong><br /><br /><strong>The first group which clocks the most distance from now until 26th September will win the first sum of $5,000 for their charity. The winning gender for the next week will win another $5,000 for their charity. $10,000 will be up for grabs in the third and fourth week each, and the fifth week will see the winning team earning $20,000 for their charity. </strong><br /><br /><strong>The distance logged in for each gender is cumulative, starting from the first week, and there is no limit to the number of runners joining in the Guys VS Girls Challenge. </strong><br /><br /><strong>The Nike+ Human Race 10K started last year when Nike decided to launch a global initiative to provide running enthusiasts with an unparalleled running experience by combining their love for music and a scenic 10km route in 26 major cities around the world. The post-race concert this year will consist of top bands from Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines to provide great entertainment for runners who have just completed their 10km run on a Saturday morning.<br />Singapore is once again the only Southeast Asian city selected to host the event, amongst 30 major cities worldwide.<br />For more information on the Nike+ Human Race 10K, please log on to www.nikeplus.com.sg.<br />………………………….</strong><br /><strong><br />NIKE, Inc.NIKE, Inc. based near Beaverton, Oregon, is the world's leading designer, marketer and distributor of authentic athletic footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories for a wide variety of sports and fitness activities.

I must admit I am not good at ball handling games, neither am I good at Team play... Maybe it was due to all the years having to compete in individual sports such as swimming and running... I have never really allowed myself to try games such as basketball or territorial invasion games...</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">however this time round, I really want to give it a shot...</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">And thanks to them, I managed to find the love and passion and drive to train harder for basketball:) It is not only a module, but the willingness to want to learn more about my flaws, seek improvement as well as to play better in the sport in terms of team play.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382733490828219138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O9e1aRgf5r0/SrNPl0lqEwI/AAAAAAAAD4c/qQv828Bu6KM/s320/180920094161.jpg" border="0" /></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Morning 1 hour training before the lesson starts was a great warming up for us:) Appreciation goes to the group who came down super early to train together.... after the 2 hour lesson of bball, extra half and hour of training made me able to see myself improving... but all starts from basic and we all have to understand that no one is perfect...however, to make urself near to perfect, nothing else but training must come into play for a start:)</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">The lesson was great today, disregards all the negative stuff that happened on court and outside court, we all have a lesson to learn.
