Two races are fast approaching and I’m considering which to do – or to do both, or neither. Ha! A bit indecisive… KL Towerthon in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – has no way for me to pay to register online. All their payment methods are for Malaysia citizens I guess. If I’m going to race there [...]

Best Workout on a Hill – Ever
Posted on 22 February 2012.
I used to climb a lot of mountain peaks on Oahu and Maui, but I was more climbing them for fun and at a fairly relaxed pace most of the time. There were times I pushed it – but, pushing it moderately up a 3,500 foot climb is different than pushing hard up a 1,500 [...]
