In an ITT event, the ability to push yourself to the edge and hold it there requires mental and physical toughness. When your legs scream for you to stop and your lungs are about to burst, you push through the pain and keep pedalling.
It was an exciting event to witness, with the spectators ringing the cowbells and cheering on for their friends. Kudos to everyone who completed the race!
The Course
The course was a flat 5km road with a U-Turn along Tanah Merah Coastal Road. Each lap (there and back) was approximately 10.8km. The riders were dispatched at one-minute intervals and were counted down from 5 seconds before setting off.

The Race
Athletes from Paracycling Singapore kicked off the event at 6.30am.


Sarah and Emily have been training together for over a year. Tandem-cycling isn’t an easy sport; it requires great communication and coordination skills as both of them have to pedal in sync. Read more about Sarah here.



Choo Ling Er from TWC Racing Team dominated the women’s field in a time of 47:13,78, finishing the 32.8km course with an average speed of 40.7km/h. It was also the triathlete’s first time competing in a National Championship. Well done Ling Er!

In the Men’s Elite field, Goh Choon Huat, a Singaporean pro cyclist from Terranganu Racing Team, defended his title by blazing through the course in 41:56,10. To let you have an idea of how fast that is, he was riding at an average speed of 45.8km/h.
People who made the event possible
Thanks to all the race organisers and volunteers who had to sacrifice their precious sleep to ensure that the event ran smoothly.
According to Mr Lawrence Loh, one of the commissionaires of the event, the organisers made sure that no rider was drafting or cutting the course. He was also assigned to report back to the base in case of any accidents.
As an avid road cyclist himself, he shared with us why he chose to volunteer for this event:
“I volunteer because I want to ensure that everybody has a chance to compete in a fair and safe race. This also allows me to be a part of the game and do something good for our local cycling community. It is actually more fulfilling than being a cyclist racing there!”
The winners
Medals were presented to the top 3 individuals in each race category. In addition, the top 3 Singaporean riders were given medals for each category, and the top Singaporean rider, a champion’s jersey.
