SINGAPORE: A participant of the Singapore Bay Run, also known as the SAFRA Sheares Bridge Run & Army Half Marathon, collapsed and died on Sunday morning.
25-year-old Captain Ho Si Qiu, a platoon commander at the Singapore Armed Forces Officer Cadet School, collapsed at 7am at the end of his 21-kilometre run.
Off the record, people have got to stop killing themselves while running, swimming, biking etc etc. It's bad for the sport.
On a more serious note, this is pretty scary. First it was TC, then now this guy. And both were supposedly fit guys. (I'm not questioning their fitness by putting 'supposedly') I am considering making plans in case I drop dead on any of my runs.
Condolences to CPT Ho's family and friends. This is the second shock this year in Singapore's sporting fraternity. Lagi best Aviva happen again. Then jialat liao. @ 21:47
