imaRunner: CATWOMAN

June 16, 2008

Completely by chance, was how I met CATWOMAN. It was on the flight back from Phuket. We'd just completed the Phuket Laguna International Marathon, and were chatting and sharing our experience.

CATWOMAN (harmoni on SGRunners) has been running since 2002, but you'll remember her for running with her costumes. She is well known for her catwoman or skeleton (as in the Sundown) costumes.

She runs about 13 to 15 events a year, not only in Singapore, but around the region as well. Other than completing the half at Phuket, CATWOMAN has also recently completed the Oakley duathlon and is currently training for the OSIM triathlon (she plans on training during lunch breaks to get used to the hot weather!).

CATWOMAN tells me that she has to run slower due to the costumes. I would never have been able to run with any costume! Credos to her!

When asked why costumes, CATWOMAN replied cheerfully: "To make it more interesting!"

Indeed, our races would be all the duller without the likes of brave souls such as CATWOMAN and SPIDERMAN!

See you at future races!
