Race rating (4)

Comments: This is a great race with a great atmosphere. Very freindly staff, spectators and competitors. I feel like this was something of a draw between me and the race. Will be back next year leaner and meaner - there were 60 finishers between me and the guys coming in at 2:30. With a bit more milage under the belt I reckon I can take them.

Comments: When the torrential rain came, I decided to toss my goal times out the window, especially for the bike. Just goes to show that you never know what will happen. The course was nice, but there were very few spectators on the bike course. The organizers were terrific, and the participants seemed relaxed and happy to have a good time. Definitely a Singapore-based race, with very few folks (only my group of friends?) traveling any real distance to do the race. Even the organizers were surprised we traveled all the way from Beijing. The kids race the next day was well organized and a lot of fun for both children and parents, which made it a real family weekend. Being stuck on an island without a bike shop and then being gouged by the Singapore-based bike mechanic that came for the race was a bit disappointing. Overall, a nice excuse to visit Singapore and have a fun weekend in the sun with other families with children of all ages. I was very gratified to see all of my consistent training
