The Aviva Ironman 70.3 Singapore. An event that I will likely never be able or want to do. But still that does not stop me from going down and pay this photo tribute to all these brave souls.
Hats off to these group of physically challenged particpants
Nothing can stop them, not even a flat tire
This guy went all the way sans footwear
Hot! Hot! Hot! 2 cups of water to cool down
2 cups not enough? How about a whole bottle?
A sight for sore eyes and all the shacked guys!
Agony or Ecstasy?
It's a pleasure for this young lady!
More like agony for this poor chap
Finishing with Mummy!
All the Way!
No! This Way!
All prepared for the hot hot weather!
Nobody ain't going to block my view of Daddy!
Finished at last and a TLC moment from the Mrs
Aiyoh now got to brave the traffic to go back!
Mummy, it's over!
Koh, I want to know do you run with a camera in your hand or are you simply standing at the side?
ReplyDeleteHi Shiong, no lah for this event I was just taking pictures not running. This one is an Ironman event you know. I am a fragile nerdy wimpy old man - how to do this type of event?
ReplyDeleteA 70-year-old gentleman who is still participating in triathlons actively was the reason why a fat, overweight, 38-year-old non-athlete like me took on the challenge of training for a triathlon earlier in 2010. 2010 has ended. I've clocked 2 sprint, 1 standard distance and 1 Long Distance triathlons, lost 10kgs, done wonders for my health and confidence. Come 20 Mar 2011, on my 39th birthday, I will take on Aviva 70.3 Half Ironman on home soil. Nothing is impossible, my friend. Not for a 70-year-old man, not for this fat 38-year-old, and certainly not beyond you.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous, thanks for your word of encouragement. But no thanks. A triathlon or ironman is definitely out for me.
