Re: Liondash Sprint, 3 Nov 2012?

I think 2 months is enough; it's "just" 500-600M runs with some obstacles. And going by tough mudder type races, people need to help each other at the difficult obstacles (or else you are given something else to do, e.g. burpees, if you really, really can't do the obstacle).

Re: Liondash Sprint, 3 Nov 2012?

no idea, but I'd hazard a guess at a "low" wall, monkey bars/swinging rings, balance beam, very much SOC type obstacles. Not sure if they will have pipes to crawl through, jello/mud pits etc, like the tough mudders races, if that's what they plan to emulate. Should be a walk in the park for us 300er...

Re: Liondash Sprint, 3 Nov 2012?

yeah it's a bit pricey compared to a normal run, but I guess they need just a tad more work to setup obstacles etc in comparison.

Any other "volunteers"? Its $54/person for a group, if I can find 4 or more (so that's currently 2, xian and myself...)

Liondash Sprint, 3 Nov 2012?

http://sgcyclenrun.com/lion-dash-sprint-2012
[edit] official website: http://www.liondash.com/ [/edit]

5KM w/10 obstacles, so that'll be like running 400m and doing something... (sounds like 300!)

anybody interested?

Re: Annual 300 2012

well, if we decide on 14th, theoretically I can do late afternoon. I'll leave it to you guys to decide on whether it's 7th or 14th. Or we can do one now, before Keith leaves, and we can do another a few weeks later for everybody else that couldn't make it.

Re: Annual 300 2012

I likely can't make 14th (corporate retreat); theoretically 14th is a half day... but the last time it was supposed to be a half day, we finished at 5.30pm...

so potentially very late on the 14th!

Re: 2012 Powerlifting Championship Series

well, I get the feeling I'm the only one in masters I (or any masters class, for that fact)... I thought that wilks formula is actually penalizes lighter lifters (e.g. if I could lift 3xbodyweight, that's only 210kg, whereas a 150kg lifter lifting 300kg in absolute terms is stronger). I did weigh in...

Re: 2012 Powerlifting Championship Series

I just need one competitor in each event to lift just a little less than me so I'm not last (although I might still be last in the overall standings)... :P

Re: 2012 Powerlifting Championship Series

OK thanks. 90 minutes per event, if at most 6mins/competitor (2mins/attempt), that means they only have ~15 competitors in all the weight classes combined? I thought they'd have more (unless they have multiple racks and judges?).

yes, let me know where to get tickets too, sophia's coming, and I think my mum is coming down too (probably to make sure I don't kill myself).

celebratory dinner? Any idea what the schedule is like, and how long it'll go for?

Re: Annual 300 2012

the weekend of 13/14 July is bad for me too, so 8th is "ok" (despite my lack of training).

not sure about venue yet, can someone check with Sufian re: JJC, else we have to do it at SWF? Or shall we "break-in" Aldrin's new place heh...

Re: 2012 Powerlifting Championship Series

Who me? I ain't got no oly shoes. I'll be doing everything in my merrells, I don't think whatever extra weight I can squat in oly shoes, will do me any good in the overall standings, last is still last (but I'm hoping for 2nd last, haha!).

Re: Phing's birthday WOD

Not sure about knee wraps and belts, but you can get wrist wraps from Lewis (SWF) or Carl/Aldrin. Check SWF website? They may have the rest. I checked the SWF online store before posting, no wraps or belts. Went around town on saturday too, but didn't find any place either, except belt. Will check ...
