May 27th 2007 was the way Iran up Mount Faber hill not once but 3 times. The minimum to qualfy the Ultra challenge is 3 times. I was targeting to just do the 3 loop up the Mt Faber hill as I worried that I might injure my knee in view of the Penang International Marathon.
That morning, Ultraman smsed me asking whether I need help for a pacer. I said "yes". He came and we ran together. Ultraman is a fast runner and one of the golden boy and sifu in the SGRunners community and a member of MR25. I was honored to have a friend like him to help pace me and gave me alot of encouragement and companionship along the route. With his help, I managed to complete the 3 loops in 3hrs 15mins and qualified for a running vest from SAFRA.
It was also a hot day run for me. I have learnt alot from this run especially from Ultraman himself giving me a few pointers on the run.
Thanks Ultraman !
Cheers !
