Pleased to see Eric Li back in town for one of the short Bonaqua Lifeproof Action Sprints as am sure he'll enjoy the 14km course

“I wish I could do pre-race training on the trail. However, there is no high mountain in Singapore where I've been past couple years. I have no choice so I can only run on the flat. I have been racing for the trail running for more than ten years and I am a fan of Action Asia Events.  2008 Action Asia 3 Day Marathon in Vietnam is a really impressive trail running race for me.  Also the 2015 MSIG Singapore 50, I am waiting for its return in 2016,” said Eric Li Yuk Ki, trail runner coming all the way back for racing Bonaqua LIFEPROOF Action SPRINT series – Repulse Bay from Singapore.

What is your pre-race training?

I usually do running on weekends for 15-20k once or twice a week. I wish I could do pre-race training on the trail. However, there is no high mountain in Singapore. I have no choice so I can only run on the flat.

你的賽前訓練是?

每星期我都會進行一至兩次的跑步訓練, 通常都在週未,週日跑步, 每次跑15-20公里. 我也想在山上練跑, 但由於新加坡沒有高山, 所以都只能在平地練跑。

 What do you think about the course this year?

I know runners needed to wear helmets to cross river gullies in the past SPRINT races but this year we don’t have to do that because of the AFCD restriction. It is definitely a pity that swimming section is a feature of the SPRINT race. It could offer more choices to runners if the swimming section is retained, but I still like the rest of the course as I enjoy running on the trail.

你覺得今年的賽道如何?

我知道往年的短跑系列賽都需要佩戴頭盔去攀越河澗, 但今年因為漁農自然護理處的新限制而取消涉水環節, 那真是十分可惜！畢竟這是歷屆賽事特色, 若保留下來也能給跑手多些選擇。但我仍喜歡餘下的賽道, 因為十分享受在山野間跑步。

 What is the most impressive race to you? Any new races you are looking forward now?

I have been racing for the trail running for more than ten years and I am a fan of Action Asia Events.  2008 Action Asia 3 Day Marathon in Vietnam! That is a really impressive trail running race for me.  Also the 2015 MSIG Singapore 50, I am waiting for its return in 2016.

哪一場比賽是你印象最深刻的? 有任何新賽事是你十分期待的嗎?

我已經有十多年參加越野賽的經驗, 而且經常參加動感亞洲活動的比賽。最難忘的一場是2008年在越南舉行, 歷時三天的Action Asia 3 Day Marathon。還有2015新加坡動感亞洲50，十分期待今年這場賽事的回歸。
