race equipment

race equipment is one of the small things that matters in how you end up performing in both urban races, triathlons and marathons.


the right shoes make sure that you go the distance without you getting blisters, sprains, aches (provided you are conditioned). the right socks make sure that your shoes work well.


wearing a comfy dri-fit helps as well. sleeves or no sleeves? need to wipe your perspiration? sleeves then. rather tan your arms? or use your scary arms to freak out the other racers? wear sleeveless! hahaha, i'm really kidding.

i usually like to wear what is called a buff as well. its a multi-function head-gear, which acts as my: towel, hairband, rubber band (to tie hair) and sports band. i perspire pretty easily, so really need to get the perspiration out of my face and eyes! (ouch! the salty sensation...)

if you are in the mood to shop this weekend and errr... help to save our nation's economy, do go to the following places! race gear sale is on! wahahhaahahahaha...

  • Saucony Warehouse Sale: 15 Kaki Bukit View. got shoes between $49 to $79! i got me a new pair of racers from there.. wahahahhaha... got other stuff like running vests, shorts starting $4.90.
  • Crocs Expo Sale: At the Expo lah... shoes for you to go into and out of the water. i like crocs personally.
  • Millet Sale: Tat Ann Building in Jalan Pemimpin. Somewhere on Level 3. good to pick up backpacks for travelling.
