Hi. Let me tell you about myself. I like to do sport exercise ( Swim and Run), traveling with family, reading magazines, and watching TV. Sometimes I drink - red wine and beer ( Tiger Beer) .Before sleeping, I like to watch channel 8 Chinese 10pm news. Most of the time I do 1km swim or 5km run every other day! Please see my stories of my Triathlon and Biathlon exercises. My most interestings are about how to keep/improve my speed of swim and run after 40 year old in order to keep good body shape and health conditions, about the latest development trend of e-bsuiness. about share trade skills, about the features of mobile devices.
Every year I used out at least two long distance running shoes and one sprint shoe. I used three pairs of New Balance shoes, two pairs of Nike, One pair of Reebok, and one pair of Aasics.Price range from S$ 120 to 180. Now I am enjoying my Aasics I.G.S.. Shoe is important equipment for a regular runner. Three years ago I did not realize this. I bought a pair of cheaper shoe (price range around S$ 30) and planned to use it for a year. I laughed my friend who owned expensive good brand shoe but still can not be a professional athlete. After few rounds of training at park and MacR(cross country path), I felt unconformtable/pain on my heel and knee. And I found that my shoe's shap changed and bottom rubbed down so quick that my feet can not be supported at right position by the shoe. But my friend's shoe was still in good shape. Lighter and stable, almost new, easy dry after running, he had no complaints from his heel and knee. Then you see the investment point/value here if we want to protect our foot and knee.Another benefit to own a good brand shoe is to follow High-Tech devlopment trend and verify if the HT can bring the improvement on your running performance when the shoe is more light, stable and comfortable. So far I have no injury on my feet, no serious knee problem and still enjoy long distance running via latest brand running shoe after 2700 km running since 2003 to now(900km/year).
My Road Bike
I bought my first road race bike in 2003 after my first Singapore corperate triathlon race. It is blue TREK1200, an economic model but enough for me to improve my cycling records. The bike is lighter and easy to speek up. I used it to particpate 2004&2005 OSIM Singapore Triathlon and 2004&2005 Singapore Corperate Triathlon. Performance was improved up to 20% compared with my transport road bike .In Singapore there is not separate bike path along traffic road and not easy/safe for cyclists to ride bike in town. Two serious crash accidents I knew happened to sport cyclists during last three years. Caused one death. Usually I do the training at stational cycle in GYM and only do few times road cycling trainings in Sentaosa or East Coast Park just before race. I dream of someday we may have 100km specific bike path around Singapore town.
