2 Message from Race Director New members are welcomed into #113FAMILY, and to the existing ones - a very warm Welcome Back. Time never waits. Let's kick-off the second quarter of 2018 with a bang by throwing ourselves into the challenging world of triathlon. Just last month, we pride ourselves with organizing the first 113 KiTS at Marlborough College Malaysia. And now, another new addition to the existing 113 Series, our first-ever 113 OD Triathlon race in Melaka. A huge congratulatory note goes out to ALL newcomers, it is no easy feat to dabble into triathlons simply because you'll have to master three disciplines instead of the usual one. Please do not fret about safety as that is our Number 1 priority in any of our events, all you need to do is go enjoy yourselves! And again, to the regular triathletes, thank you for your continuous support and do look forward to some PBs on this fast course. The host state Melaka is known for many historical places and great food. We know this race is important to you and you might not have the time for such pleasantries hence we have decided to bring one of their local ice-cold favourites to cool you down during the hot run - do keep a lookout for this and have a break on us. You've already put in the mileage & training, now is the time for you to enjoy the event! We are #113FAMILY. Always Believe. Cheers, Andy Foo Eventure Global
