2007 SEA Games triathlon champion Mok Ying Ren to make marathon debut

Story by Colin Tung/Red Sports

Sunday, 29 November, 2009 – Mok Ying Ren, the 2007 South-East Asian (SEA) Games triathlon champion, will make his marathon debut at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon on December 6th.

True to his hard work and performance, he delivered the goods. He made a big splash, and continued to leave achievements in his wake.

After he retired from competitive sailing, he left a prominent trail of personal records in the marathon. Who would imagine that he was amphibious in nature!
