Definitely A Cracking Good Crab

Let's learn about Horse-shoe Crab or Belangkas today! :) ------------------------------------- Publication: NST Date of publication: Mar 16, 2009 Byline / Author: By Evangeline Majawat Definitely A Cracking Good Crab MYSTERIOUS and unappreciated, horseshoe crabs are slowly revealing their secrets to a team of local scientists.

On 6th May 2012, together with my 2 colleagues, Nelsey and Laura, we participated in Borneo International Marathon 2012. For the first time in my life, I jogged non-stop for 5KM! I had never jogged that far before. However, for the remaining 5KM, Laura and I continued to jog and also brisk-walking. Steffy, Nelsey & Laura. Both of them showing off their finisher medals.  That's me showing off my bib number :D Yes I made it! 10KM in 1 hour 22 minutes. Without training. Nelsey completed her 10KM in 1 hour 19 minutes, while Laura in 1 hour 22 minutes, just 2 seconds earlier than me. The picture below shows the official result from BIM 2012. I got no. 213 out of 775 10KM Women's Open participants For sure, I am going to join BIM again next year. Maybe Half-Marathon? 21KM here we come!
