Enter into a new timing for Ultra

2016 could well be the time my ultra timing goes from 24-21hrs to 18hrs. I just got my PB for Craze Ultra 2016 with a timing of 17hrs 51mins for 101K. I can see why the timing will increase.

Its due to the improve running form with stronger core n good planing of the pace to go for to ensure a planned completion time. I was supposed to be running the group leader pacer for 1.20hr group at the POSB kid dash 10K but when i reach home n rest, its 3am on Sunday morning guess my alarm clock did not ring so when i woke up at 6.15am, the pacer group already entered the pen n I am no longer needed. Thankfully the 50min pacing was called off so with enough pacers to move around.

I did screw up big time for this POSB kids dash 10K. But back to the craze ultra. I continued doing HIIT after my diet program ended in Feb 2016 with a strong emphasis on the core. I also had a rice-less diet as much as I can. It did help to reduce my cabo intake.

The weather for craze ultra continue to be sunny in the morning of Sept 3 n the weather did not stop in the night where the temp still remains high. its not easy running in the heat but since my training was in hot sun and i was wearing a black long sleeve running shirt, the heat is trapped inside allowing my body temp to be maintain in a constant temp through i need to drink enough fluid at each station. I also carry one full hydration bag (2L) with 1 750ML plastic bottle to act as secondary water/coke/isotonic. I avoid using the plastic cups except for the lychee drink. I also drunk 1 bottle of coconut water at CP5 on top of the instant oat with coffee mix. It kept me awake all throughout since i was faster, i don't have any issues with the night. I did took around 2hrs to each CP0-3. I will need to plan my food intake at CP3. the seafood stall is calling me for next year edition.
