Sabotage Attempt at Aviva Ironman Singapore

I know this news is a bit outdated, but I would just like to share, just in case some haven’t heard about it.

“ While the cycling leg of the race was going on, some metal tacks were scattered on the road near the Keppel Flyover. One witness told Channel NewsAsia about 30 to 40 participants had their bike tyres punctured by the tacks and had to drop out of the triathlon as a result. In response to media queries, event organiser Hi—Tri said it cleared up the metal tacks immediately after being told of the incident.”

I only found out about this from the taxi driver on my way to changi airport to go back to Brunei.

They must have already cleared the road before I hit the road, as I didn’t see any tacks around. Lucky for me I was slow on the swim. :)
