Action Asia Challenge 2004

Last weekend. Michael Maddess, Race Director and Course Designer for Action Asia events, raced in the Men's Masters category of the Kent Ridge Mountain Bike Championship 2006 and came in 6th! I doubt he even had time to test the trail as I heard that he had just touched down in Singapore the night before! Madness? No, Maddess!

Anywayz, Team MingLing just can't get 'nuff of all that torture and have just signed our lives away for this year's Action Asia Challenge 2006! *gulp* Evidence that we're suffering from short-term memory loss......it'll all come back to haunt us again when the pain hits us where it hurts most during the race! Yikes!

At least we'll have good company : Becks and Rina are forming an all ladies team, and Tian and Cyen have also decided to jump on the bandwagon! To read more about Tian+Cyen's belated account of the 2004 race, click here.

Then called Team Ming-a-Ling, have yet to complete our write-up of the 2004 race...hope this is not an indication of our snail-paced perfomance this year! Hee hee!

Check out the following articles on the 1st Action Asia Challenge back in 2004...the merlion.......all the squid bodies.....the bridges.....it's all coming back to me now! Double yikes!






39 more days to go before 3 September 2006! *shudders* Only thing I'll be doing consistently from now til then is carboloading on kettle chips! Haha!

*shudder* Memories of last year's catatonic crampfest come rushing back. The cramparalysis at BT was not funny at all. Have to train hard..........

Say no to "Cramps"! Drink 100 plus with ORS (Oral Rehydration Salts), not Ribena, even though your mother says that's good for you too!
