Just Keep TRI-ing

Oh my GOD, this news just in today. SCKLM will be postponed to 29 September due to the haze in Malaysia. Is this really meant to be? I cannot believe it. I could very well go back to Malaysia and participate in the race at the end of September. I have another issue though. I will be running in the Melbourne Marathon on 13 October, just 2 weeks after SCKLM. A to make it worse, I have New York Marathon on 3rd November. I don't know if it is a good idea, but I could take SCKLM as a really long LSD, go all out in Melbourne and just enjoying the New York Marathon.  Thoughts?

I was supposed to run at Standard Chartered KL Marathon at the end of this month. I was so excited to race in my home country. I never ran a full marathon in Malaysia before. It would be nice to see all the familiar faces of Malaysia's running fraternity in our marquee event, and I have set a lofty target to be in the top 100 finisher. For that I have trained hard during this hot Doha Summer. All that hope to run the streets of turned out to just a wishful thinking. My planned leave was denied because I am still in a probation period. I just changed a new job last month and it is impossible for me to ask for a long leave anyway. I dont want all that hours of training go to waste just like that so I am planning to race in a marathon somewhere near on the same weekend. We'll see. I still have to sort an unfinished business from Paris Marathon last April.
