Took my new hydration system out for a run today. Two hours and over 22km later, I was happy and hydrated.
So today I bid goodbye to my trusty waistpack that I’d used in my two Sundown victories and countless training runs. It treated me well, but after running with a hydration backpack I realised I’ve been choking myself these past two years. Seriously. That waistpack really restricted my breathing. With the backpack, I can carry up to four times more water (2 litres) and it feels less heavy too.

hi!
your personal and ST blogs got me inspired to do some commuting by bike.
so am wondering when you ride to work do you ride the paris or the pista? izzit possible to commute about 20k on a fixie? izzit tough on the hills? if i can afford a fixie to my bike collection that’ll be real sweeet!
Hey Nur,
I use either bike, depending on how I feel that day. Of course it’s possible to commute 20k on a fixie. It’s possible to go however far you want on a fixie. I’ve climbed Mt Faber on my fixie. You can make it however easy/tough you want, just select the right gear ratio. I think I use 48-18, if I remember correctly. Or maybe it’s 48-16… anyhow, choose a gear ratio that isn’t too heavy that you can’t make it up hills but not so light that you’re spinning like crazy on flats. And Singapore is pretty flat anyway.
