I wasn’t able to make it to this Thailand stair climbing event due to some severe dizziness I had just days before the event. I decided best not to go and risk not being able to run it, and it turned out to be a good choice. I was dizzy for 4 days. I’m STILL dizzy.
Anyway, my friend Alfred did do the Baiyoke Sky Hotel run up in Bangkok on April 1st, 2012 – and got the following videos I spliced into one. Thanks Alfred!
The race was won by one of the Kenyan runners in a time around 12:30. There are 18 floors of parking lot garage to run up prior to hitting the steps. There are 84 floors of steps minus 18 parking floors – so, 68 floors of steps to climb.
Wish I could have made it – will be there next year more than likely…
Cheers,
Vern
congratulations on doing the climb Dad, very proud, just the thought of it makes me feel out of breath
Heh Vern thanks for doing the write ups on my dad I have been wanting someone to recognise his amazing fitness and mental strength! He is a huge inspiration to me, dad introduced me to running and I am doing my first full Marathon this September in his honour
Adele Meston
That’s great to hear Adele. He told me you did a half marathon already – amazing. Though I’ve done triathlons, running races… etc – I’ve yet to even do a half marathon. You’re doing great! I love spending time with your dad – he’s got a lot of insight into how to train, and this coming from what he’s learned first-hand usually. I have more material to put up over time – and always trying to film more videos. My email is: aimforawesome@gmail.com, let me know what yours is. Cheers, Vern.
This is the champ of this yrs baiyoke tower.thanks you for running together and hope to see next year.
