What races to do this year?

This was what i posted on 30th January this year:
"Upcoming races would be:
NUS biathlon 17 Feb
Singapore Biathlon 1 March.

Then i have a huge gap till OSIM triathlon and Aviva Half Ironman.
Army half marathon
Standard Chartered Masters Swim
And finally the Standard chartered marathon end of the year.

Other races i'm thinking of would be Lion City Marathon. Might do another Triathlon such if i can find it. And probably one more run/aquathlon.

Haven't really gotten it planned out yet. But i'm hoping to not have too big a gap between races coz i would lose focus and get bored. Ha..."


So basically NUS biathlon is over and i missed Singapore Biathlon due to flu. And i have been slacking coz i haven't signed up for any races coz i was unsure of what i wanted to do. So in typical Singaporean style, when cannot decide, just go sign up for everything and anything. This is basically what i have found out so far!
So basically, now i've gotten the dates, its a matter of signing up. Psst.. the only race i've signed up for so far is the Army Half. Hee.. But need to decide on Saab by tonight. Early Bird ends tomorrow.. So refuse to pay more for procrastination!

08 Jun: Saab City Duathlon 10km (R) 40km (B) 5km (R)
29 Jun: Lion City Marathon - No news on this one yet. But probably doing it.
12-13 Jul: Osim Triathlon 1.5km (S) 40km (B) 10km (R)
19 Jul: Port Dickson Triathlon 1.5km (S) 40km (B) 10km (R)
3 Aug: King of the Road 21km (R)
16 Aug: Desaru Long Distance Triathlon 2km (S) 90km (B) 21km (R)
24 Aug: Army Half Marathon 21km (R)
07 Sept: Aviva 70.3 1.9km (S) 90.1km (B) 21.1km (R)
05 Oct: Tri Ladies Triathlon - No updates yet
09 Nov: Powerman Malaysia - haven't found out much yet abt this as well
07 Dec: SCSM 42km (R)

Other things i am interested in but have not had any updates yet are the Fuji Xerox Open Water swim, Singapore Masters Swimming and NIE Biathlon.
There, the list looks comprehensive and some races are pretty close to one another. But the aim is to go out and have fun and complete the race. Considering i've only done 1 biathlon before, every thing will be a first for me. So lots of PBs to collect. Not sure if i have the time and motivation to see all the races through. But the highlighted ones are the ones that i've decided on. The rest is anyone's guess. =)
So now, need to go website and sign up for races. And start getting off my lazy ass to train now i have something to look forward to! It has been a slow 2 months. Hee
