The 365 days of 2010

As like past years, I look back at what I had done in the last 365 days and do a summary as a record. This is what a person with short-term-memory-lost symptom needs.

2010 had been a great year, with plenty of satisfying achievements and sufficient holidays (maybe a little too much). Career-wise is kind of disappointing though. Well, you can't have everything rite?

This year, the running virus spread uncontrollably over me. It is like a disease went out of control, I keep signing up for races that by the time I realized it, my calendar was full of circled weekends. At least one race a month except Mar. I did 2 full marathon, 3 half-marathon, 1 duathlon, 1 trail run, 4 cycling events and many other rojak distance runs. Completing all these races bring along satisfaction. The damage? RM1238 for races' registration fee alone, yet to include traveling and accommodation cost. I had a mild heart-attack after adding all the numbers up 0_0

The list of races I did in 2010:
01 Jan Malakoff Interstate Fellowship Ride 2009/2010 149km RM30
06 Feb Putrajaya Night Marathon Half-marathon RM35
25 Apr Bidor Half Marathon Half-marathon RM40
30 May Malakoff 26km Penang 26km RM40
27 Jun Standard Chartered KL International Marathon Half-marathon RM45
25 Jul Taiping Heritage Run 15km RM30
01 Aug Century Ride Ipoh (Cycling) 100mi (161km) RM100
19 Sep Blackmores Sydney Running Festival Full marathon RM386 (AUD135)
26 Sep Newton Run 25km RM60
03 Oct Tanjung 10k, Penang 10km RM10
17 Oct Campaign For A Lane 2nd Edition (Cycling) ~80km RM50
31 Oct Genting Trailblazer 14km ~RM200
14 Nov Powerman, Sri Manjung (Duathlon) 5.5k-32k-5k RM70
21 Nov Penang Bridge International Marathon Full marathon RM60
12 Dec Starwalk Penang 10km RM12
19 Dec Penang Round Island Relay (team of 12)
31 Dec Malakoff Interstate Fellowship Ride 2010/2011 ~70km RM50

At the end of all these, my personal record for marathon is 4:47 (Sydney Marathon), half marathon 2:09 (SCKLM) and 56mins 10km (Tanjung 10k).

I've also slack a lot more in updating this blog. All I do nowadays is running/cycling, training and join races. If that is all I write, I'm afraid I might bored my readers to death with my very limited vocab and same-old description. Even I myself has gotten a bit tired of my own writing.

This year, I've also did some major traveling. Been to Macau and HK in Mac, Sydney in September and Koh Lipe in December. Din do any diving this year lor...insufficient fund :P
Did I mention before that I love to travel? Since young, I have this dream of traveling the world and venture beyond this place I called home.

I have a new goal come year 2011. I wish to run a marathon in a different country every year, that is if I can fill my piggy bank fast enough to make it possible. First thing is, I gotta work harder to earn money...pray pray kena lottery :D
