New Shoes or Shoe Fetish!

Some says that I have this thing about running shoes or should I say footwear. But I can't really help it. I burned shoes out here and there all the time and being someone who is an athlete and a guy who is the industry (Formerly managing products for a sports brand), what do you expect? I just love shoes. For a guys to have near 15 pairs of shoes is a lot. Ha!





Well, my new addition to my arsenal of shoes will be the Saucony Tangent 3. I have not try a pair of Saucony for a long long time and I guess I might as well pick one up. Can't wait for it. Well, I might just update my review after maybe a month of test running...Guru Talks again....Stay Tuned!

The Super Multi Vitamins!

Well, what I have been taking multi-vitamins for a while for my training and really I must say that I really appreciate the importance of this stuff. I am really not a faithful believer of diet...hahaha....ask my colleagues and you will find out what I have for lunch. So, it is very very important for me to make it up especially when I am planning and training for the Ironman distance race. I don't wanna break down due to nutrition deficiency.

So, what did I do? See what the top athletes eat for training. I found out that when training becomes intense, you need sustain vitamins, nutrients and minerals to keep yourself going. After attending workshops and seminars, of course with videos and worldwide web. I found what I am looking for. A complete systems of nutrients that I need.



Used by Asafa Powell (World record holder for the 100m sprint, 9.77sec) and Liu Xiang (World record Holder for the 110m hurdles). Double X has
12 vitamins, 9 Minerals, and 17 plant Concentrates. I love it. This is one of the stuffs that I rather take than anything inferior. It's important to me as I am concern with the things that I take.



I don't know about you. I rather take what the pros are taking to make me feel good on recovery. It's only about S$69 to help me to eat well and recover well. Why not?

Paris Roubaix - Sabah Style

Paris Roubaix (Men's In Tights and Mud)

Call it ridiculous or outrageous but that's just it. Every Cycling Buff would have heard of the ever notorious Paris Roubaix Bike Race where roadies hit this region in France for an one day hit in the muds, cobblestones and whole load of intense weather. That just it!


Hermit After the Ride

I got a taste of this style of cycling recently during one of the bad weather in Sabah, Potholes, muddy roads, cobblestone like road, granite chips road. You name it, Sabah has it and I am really beginning to regret of not bringing my Mountain Bike (Oh! I almost forgot I ain't got a Mountain Bike anymore).


Hermit's Rear Deraileur (Mud Patch)

The result is a whole load of muddy trails on the bike and I must say that Hermit is quite a steed that is able to take hard knocks and I am beginning to love this partner of mine. Of course the dirt and mud that hit my face make it even more interesting in my training.

Shoes In Mud too!

Bottom line, learn to take bumps and be prepare to do the bunny hops and jumps when the hole comes in you face or you will have imprints or the tarmac gradients...Technical Riding 101: Learn to Eat dirt or prepare to bite the dust!
