Standard Chartered Marathon 2008

Date: 7th December
---------------------------------------------------------

I think the major draw this year should be the sundown marathon. It's a new route, a new environment, and crazy running enthusiasts from around the region have already snapped up the ultra distance! Time for me to give the marathon a go again, after more than 2 years.... Mileage anyone?

As for local triathlons, see how bah, given the fact that they are over-priced, over-crowded, and dangerous! Perhaps I will think of exploring the races in Malaysia, depending on how lazy i am. Hur hur.
