5km Run

Finally did my first run in JKT. Woke up at abt 5.30am (JKT time). Put on my running shoe and off me go. Basically running ard the Taman Anggrek Estate. Thank God I have my Nike+ w me. Completed 5km run in 38mins.... Feels good, should wake up @ 5am cos the sir would be fresher and better.... there's just too much pollution over here....

My Review on Nike+ Sportsband

Date: 17 Jun 2008
Time: 2145hrs

Distance calculated on runningahead.com : 6.63km
Pace calculated on runningahead.com : 5.53/km
Distance measure on Nike+ Sportsband : 7.19km
Pace measure on Nike+ Sportsband : 5.25/km

Results: 8% difference wo any calibration.

Using Switcheasy to attached sensor to shoes. At least three rows of laces were attached to the unit.

By the press of the button, was able to make connection to the sensor. Started using my normal pace. As the sensor was secure with three rows of laces, I dun really feel anything on the feet.
Only issue is that, there is no backlight so running at night, will pose a problem in monitoring your runs..... As I was wearing my own sport watch so, timing on the sportsband wasn't much of a issue.

Ended the run wo any issue, just by a press of a button. Only issue left is uploading the data via Singnet.... hear that the Nike team is still resolving with Singnet on this issue.

Apart form this. Costing $99.90 for the sports band. $16.50 for the switcheasy unit. Its a steal if you compare with brand like polar, suuto & garmin.

Though not a perfect measuring gadget, it works for me & for my traning......

Trilympics 2008

Trilympics 2008 is a collaborative effort between Singapore Management University (SMU), Student Volunteer Corps (SVC) and Jurong Junior College (JJC), as a tribute to youth volunteerism and support for disability sports in Singapore. Inaugurated in 2006 as part of the Olympic Dream Series, it aims to reach a climax in September 2008 as part of a send-off party for Singapore Disability Sports athletes heading to compete in the 2008 Paralympics, Beijing.

This year, we aim to go "Around the World in a Day", by completing a total distance of 40,000km, either through running, or spinning on stationary bicycles.

Everyone are invited to help achieve this goal by participating in one or both of these segments, and show their support for disability sports by taking part in Trilympics 2008.
