20km run on 31 Jan 2015

Followed an old route which I used to run, from Lentor avenue-Yio Chu Kand Road junction towards Yishun, via Yishun avenue 1 to Seletar West Link. The Link is now open and it turned around when I reached the 10km mark in 59min43sec. Previously this road was still under construction and I had to turned back around 9km. I started the run early, around 4:56pm, therefore the weather was quite hot.

For this run, I was focused on keeping a sub 6min per km pace, and was trying hard to maintain this pace or faster. I almost forgot that it was 5plus pm in the afternoon, and my transition lens shaded me well, as I did not feel the glaring sun much. I was running well despite the hot weather but I did have 2 water break at Seletar reservoirs park toilet at the 3.2km mark and 16.8km mark.

I eventually finished the 20km run in 1hr 58min 5sec, this is a good run as I managed to push myself to maintain an average pace of 5min54sec per km for the entire run.

Human nature of greed and power will kill itself! Human nature is probably hard to change .....!!!!

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.

Human need to move away from combustion engine

With the current technology, it’s difficult for human to think about moving away from combustion engine. 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!
