Jaray Hits the Heights Among World Triathlon Elite in Hawaii

First-ever Thai to complete back-to-back Ironman and Ironman 70.3 World Championships

Thai triathlete Jaray Jearanai of Phuket is on top of the world after completing the legendary Ironman World Championship in Hawaii, among an elite global field of triathlon competitors, in a time of just over 11 hours.

His achievement yesterday (Sunday, 9 October) is all the more remarkable as this was the first-ever full Ironman challenge for Jaray, a marketing executive at Laguna Holiday Club in Laguna Phuket – venue of the annual Laguna Phuket Triathlon and Ironman 70.3 Asia-Pacific Championship – and just weeks after he successfully completed the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Las Vegas.

Jaray now holds the unique distinction of being the first-ever Thai to compete in both back-to-back Ironman and Ironman 70.3 World Championships in the same year.

The annual Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, comprising a 3.8km swim, 180.2km bike ride and 42.1km marathon, is considered the ultimate triathlon challenge and most difficult one-day endurance event in the world, with its 1,800 entry slots are highly coveted by triathletes worldwide.

Jaray, sponsored by his employer Laguna Phuket and Thanyapura Sports & Leisure Club where he trains, to compete in Hawaii and Las Vegas, crossed the Kona finishing line in a time of 11:04:35 after a swim of 1:04:35; bike time of 5:48:27; and run of 3:51:22.

An ecstatic Jaray (31), said: “It was the toughest experience of my life and I’m so happy to have completed it.

“It’s always been my dream to take part in a full Ironman – I just didn’t expect my first one to be the World Championship in Kona alongside some of my biggest heroes.

“This race and the Las Vegas Ironman 70.3 have been incredible experiences and I’m so grateful to Laguna Phuket for helping to make my dreams come true.”

The Kona World Championship was won by Australia’s Craig Alexander in a new course record of 8:03:56 and Chrissie Wellington of Great Britain took the women’s title in 08:55:08.

Alexander, who also won the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Las Vegas to make it a 2011 World Championship double, has been invited to compete at the Ironman 70.3 Asia-Pacific Championship at Laguna Phuket on 4 December.

First Rawai Nai Harn Golf Day

The End of the Internship Road

Although I came into 91.5FM Phuket FM Radio and announced the weather forecasts as usual, today was not just another normal day. Today officially marks the end of my internship. Today was the last time I got to announce the weather or do features on the Afternoon Show with the Doris. That’s right, somehow it is already the last day of my internship at 91.5FM! When I first started I thought to myself, 3 weeks is a very respectable amount of time but now it seems too short. Then again when you’re doing something fun and enjoyable, I guess no amount of time is sufficient really.

To end my last day, I did a special summary feature where I talked a bit about what I have been doing and what I have learnt during my internship. Hopefully this won’t be the last time I am ever live on-air! My internship at 91.5FM has made me positive that working in the media, whether it be in radio or television is the career I want to pursue. Everything I did was enjoyable and has only made me want to learn more.

I brought my camera in the other day as there was no way I could finish without a few memorable photo’s! I can’t thank 91.5FM enough for letting me intern with them for the past few weeks. Now, I can proudly tell people that I have been on live radio. Not something any old average Joe can claim they’ve done 🙂

That’s all from me, Alice the Weather Girl and intern. Thanks again for everything 91.5FM!

Students from Headstart School at 91.5 FM studio

 91.5FM Phuket FM Radio had some special guests in last Friday! Brendon, an 11 year old boy and Nyke, a 9 year old girl both came from Headstart International School to the station to lend their voices for an advert for Funstart. Funstart is a leisure center in Kathu that provides children and their families with a range of activities to do. They were given a script so that we could record their voices to use in the advert. The kid’s did a great job and can now proudly say that they have made their first radio debut.

I am interested in learning as much as I can about everything that goes on in a radio station, whether it be the technical side of things or in this case advert production so I sat in during the recording to learn what I could. To anyone out there that thinks that making a 30 second or so advert is easy, then think again! Getting the tone of voice right for the type of advert you’re doing is never an easy job and then there is all the editing that goes into the advert, such as choosing the right background music. Seeing the finished product and then comparing it to the rough product at the beginning that had no music or editing makes you appreciate how much work goes into a good advert. It’s all worth it in the end when you have a fantastic advert that you can play on the radio again and again. Hopefully I’ll get to make a radio advert sometime in the future or be involved with its production.

I hope you’ve all had a great weekend and are ready to start the week positive and fresh.

Alice the Weather Girl/91.5FM Intern 🙂
