Recently, I watched the evening news and get to know that our local Ultramarathon Runner, Mr Lim Nghee Huat once again completed another Ultra Marathon race.

This time round, he completed the Brazil 135miles (217km) Ultramarathon race (Brazil's most difficult foot race) where the race started on 23 Jan 2009. He finished the race in around 52 hours (Ranking 26) and is the 1st Asia Runner to complete such race. He dedicated his run to the recent achievements of the Singapore table tennis team. Not an easy task for a normal person like us to complete such a race.

Once again, congratulation to him for such an achievement!!
