YAYYYYY PB of 5:31:43 at the Ironman 70.3 Vietnam today! Danang is known for being a very hot race and today was no exception.
I struggled quite bad on the run and I couldn't find the legs, so I just carried them home to the best I can.
I think I left everything out there so although the run wasn't what I targeted, I'm still happy with the result - a PB and a 4th place (yes, again lol) in my age group.
Thank you everyone for the support; I SURVIVED!!! Race report will be out soon.
Next up - the 25km trail race at Volvic Volcanic Experience in two weeks!

RACE WEEK! Can I tell you how much I love tapering? Shorter workouts, less intensity, later alarm calls... heh! The lead-up to this Sunday's Ironman 70.3 Vietnam hasn't been as smooth; with the past few weeks being busy for me and all, but I will bring my best and do what I can come race day. It's gonna be a great event with many friends I know going, so we can all wave at each other and laugh at ourselves for putting ourselves through the sufferfest.

Sometimes when times get dark, you just need to press on and keep finding the light.

It's been a week after VVX and I'm missing it! This goes down as the most scenic run I've ever done, possibly also the toughest run I've done. But that's when it changes you, after you've been pushed out of your comfort zone and made to experience new levels of challenge.
What's super cool however, is that the Volcano Regional Park of Auvergne I was running in, is where the Volvic natural mineral water is from. It is one of European's largest and oldest preserved ecosystems. The unique taste of Volvic water is from mineralisation through six volcanic layers over 200m thick and DID YOU KNOW it takes 5 years for each drop of water to get through the layers and reach your bottle!
Bottled right at the source, Volvic remains completely untouched by man throughout the process, so you can enjoy its natural, refreshing taste.
I learnt a lot on this journey, about myself and Volvic, and I'm sure there is a lot more to learn. Massive gratitude to @volvicasia once again for giving me this opportunity! I'll keep finding new 'volcanoes' to conquer in life!

VVX route recce! So beautiful that I'm never gonna be able to catch my breath because 1) the views are so breathtaking and 2) the elevation is steep. Lol!

RACE REPORT: Volvic Volcanic Experience 2019 (link in bio)
I knew that trail running is another beast to be tamed altogether, but when I was given the opportunity to take part in the VVX – a 25km race with 1,000m elevation in France – I was like, YASSSSS I’M IN.
It was gonna be – and it was – a huge challenge but that’s what changes us and pushes us to the next level right? We don’t have any mountains or volcanoes in Singapore, so it’s hard to get proper trail running training done. As part of my preparation for VVX, I ran at Macritchie Reservoir and Mount Faber, did incline intervals on the treadmill and also stairs training.
Stepping into unfamiliar territory was definitely a redefining of limits, as well as a giant push beyond the comfort zone.
In trail running, I realised that you need to have the strength for the inclines, the courage for the descents and the heart for loving the landscapes. It is very, very different from road running!
The cutoff time for this race is 3 hours to receive the official certificate. Based on my watch, my time was 3:56:22 for 26.26km. They don’t pull you off the course so at least I got to finish it. It was an eventful race, with a sprained ankle no less, and certainly a lot of areas I can improve on.
Nothing is impossible and if you want something you’ve never had, you need to do something you’ve never done. Definitely learnt a lot from this experience and I am very grateful to @volvicasia for this opportunity to try a new challenge and discover new limits to myself.
That’s two races in May successfully completed – now it’s time for a holiday!
Post-race update: My quads are aching so sorely (as expected), but my shoulders and biceps are aching too! I think it’s from carrying the 2L hydration pack lol. As for my ankle, it’s stiff, swollen and bruised but I can walk so all good.

2 days to race day! I am really grateful for the chance to do my first trail race at Volvic Volcanic Experience. Just realised it's also my first race in Europe! #VolvicSG #FindYourVolcano #cheryltayworksout #triathlon #triathlete #trifit #trilife #trilove #trigirls #getfit #lovefit #fitforlife #fitness #fitnesseveryday #instafit #igfit #ironmantri #ironmantraining #activelife #trailrunning
Sitting down to catch my breath because these views took it away... #breathtakingviews #cheryltaytravels #rununtilshag #cheryltayworksout #triathlon #triathlete #trifit #trilife #trilove #trigirls #getfit #lovefit #fitforlife #fitness #fitnesseveryday #instafit #igfit #ironmantri #ironmantraining #activelife #trailrunning (: @mynameisjizeng)
Getting some running in to keep the engine warm! The weather is cold but once you start running it's fine and sooooo refreshing.
Swipe to see the beautiful quarry that we ran at (this isn't part of the race route). It used to be a volcano!
