change of plans for the weekend

A trip down to Powerbar in PJ, and a brief chat with Kak Rose made me switch my mind about going for GE30K. An adventure race without mountain biking is all that I can ask for before going back to Auckland and when there was a potential to win I guess I just couldn't resist!

So everything that needed to be done transpired in exactly 24 hours. I got myself a teammate, sold my GE30K bib, called organizers to register, made arrangements for transport & accomodation (which came with the teammate) and even squeezed in a training session. This has got to be the most last minute decision to race in my history of racing. And perhaps it is all this spontaneity, all this "in the nick of time" events and "lucky me" incidents that made this race all the more attractive.

So I'm about to leave with Lydia Tan, my new teammate, for the Ironbound Challenge 2009 in Taiping, Perak! Looking forward to heaps of good fun in the mud and sun! =)

Best of luck to every GE30K and 20K participant out there!
