Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2008: Kids Dash

Not for the first time, D & E participated in a kids dash. This time is a 750 m dash around the Padang, similar to the distance for the Cold Storage Kids Run in June.

Both boys did well. Unfortunately, E took a fall after being pushed by an overly enthusiastic boy. But he wasn't hurt.



Yes, it was a hot morning! They were happy with their medals.

A recent dinner conversation evolved around distances for the deca ironman race. "How far is 38 km of swim? ... 760 laps!"
"How far is 422 km?... 10 marathons?!?"
"And how fare is 1,800 km? ... cycle from Singapore to Bangkok??"

Do you think you can do a kid's triathlon some day? 150m swim, 6 km bike and 1.5 km run? Surprisingly, E replied yes. In about two years' time.

We'll see about that.
