20.5 km run at East Coast Park on 13 Oct 2013 Sun

The plan was to run 25 km at 6min pace, but my lack of mileage spoiled the plan. Felt ok for the 1st 13km but I could feel the toll that my body was taking. Asked my running mate to carry on at his pace, I started to slow quite a bit. By the time I passed the food centre at ECP, I slow to a walk. Completed 20.5 km. After passing the washroom after Mac, started to run slowly but then after only about 200m, both my tigh cramped up. I have no choice but to walk and stretched. Walked till the last 3 km, started running, this time it was worst, developed cramp in both tight again and worst then the last one. This was it, I could not run anymore, I was not perspiring anymore, so have to be careful, too dehydrated. It was a demoralising run, but then my mileage is just too low. Wonder how I would fair for this Sunday Newton Run, 32km......I guess just run easy and not to over stretch my legs !

SpaceX Starship first touchdown

SpaceX Starship 3rd ITF is likely in later part of March 2024, looking forward to the first successful touchdown of the both booster and Starship !  Controlling the engine sufficiently would be critical to achieving the landing either on land or at sea based platform.  Looking to see the first payload by the 5 or 6th launch. If the 3rd test can see the Starship coming back for a controlled landing, then progress should be fast. Should see at least 4 to 5 Starship flights or test in 2024.

It’s the only way they can think of that will generate sustainable energy to travel over distances! Generating sustainable energy without burning too much fuel is always the issue with transportation over significant distances! Or perhaps the fuel source is the issue with human travel!
