Hello You Really Want to Go Ultra meh!

Wayang Quote
当你失败的时候,身边会有一群关心你的人,他们会问你发生什么事,听听你的失败经验,然后心满意足地离开。 

Have you run a Ultra? Do you know once you complete a Ultra, you will level up to become Ultra-man. 

Running a Ultra if you never did it before seen like a difficult task. Please don't think like that. Ultra is not really that scary. Ultra mean 50km above, so is just a full marathon and more. If you did a full. A Ultra is nothing at all. And to me running a full marathon is more difficult than running a Ultra. Let me explain. A full marathon cut off time is shorter. In Singapore may be 8 hrs but in other country is 6 hrs. So you need to speed up. You can't stop, even drink water is waste of time. You only can eat gels if your energy low. But as for Ultra. The cut off time is long. Shortest I know is 12 hrs. Ultra you can run or even walk and many food is offer. Maggie mee lah bread lah watermelon and so. It really like a party run. Run run eat eat. If tired can just seat and gossip together with the Ultra elites. Or get some tips and trick from them. And plenty of photo cause many photographers will be there.

Once you complete a Ultra, you will reborn. Your level is up and you will get addicted. There only three type of Ultras. First the road Ultra where you own self support own self and run on hard pavement road mostly PCN race like Craze Ultra. 


Second the Hamster Loop Ultra, where you turn loop and loop in the same place until you vomit race like Bedok Ultra. Third is the Trail Ultra, where you will buy so many stuff just to join a 10km race in trail race. Mostly just want to see Sunrise in the summit.
This are the three I only know. If you know more, let me know.

Want to join faster join. Every years the Race event price going up. So the faster you decide, the faster you save. You can go every year if you can afford. No one stop you. But you will not have the fun where you can see familiar faces and see new elite born.

Ultra Singapore every year got new elite. Any every year the standard getting higher and higher. Last time you run 100km is something. 
Now no 100 miles don't seen like a real Ultra. So don't just restrict yourself because you scare injure or some coach say cannot run so far. Cause you never try you never know. I always encourage runners to go Ultra. Why I do that? Cause is their legs.I don't care. and every time you run those 5km 10km or half marathon race and PB so many time you not bore meh. I give you PB a million time but if you still never upgrade to Ultra mean you never really experience running. So if 5km or a full marathon no more shoik to you. It time. You become a Ultra-man or Ultra-woman. You need some negative to conquer in your life. If not you will not grow.



Be Brave, Be Wayang. Don't be boh ji. Ultra is for children. Kids also can do. If not you can ask Elite Kannan's son.
So if really want to go Ultra. Faster make up your mind. Don't worry. You will not die. Maybe injure a bit if you not enough mileage. ( to be frank, I no join Ultra very long already)
