Gulf Bank 642 Marathon, Half Marathon, 10km and 5km

What does the ‘642’ stand for?
642 is actually the total number of muscles in a human body!
That’s where the “move your 642 muscles” slogan comes from.
Gulf Bank 642 Marathon is made for every individual who wants to experience a run, touring through the beautiful landmarks of Kuwait. From challenging athletes to beginners and even families. This event caters to everyone.
Gulf Bank 642 Marathon is the first full road race to take place in Kuwait and three of the race categories have been accredited by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF Athletics).
Following this rigorous assessment, three categories (10 KM, 21 KM, and 42KM distances) of the Gulf Bank 642 Marathon have been AIMS certified. These races now appear in the international calendar of races.

As a social responsibility, Gulf Bank 642 supports a cause each year to raise awareness and donations. Since 2016 Gulf Bank 642 Marathon has been supporting UNHCR. The goal is to help their donation campaign and collect as much as possible to support.

Beautiful Baguette Saturday

Pretty darn pleased with myself for a first attempt at making baguette. And they taste awesome with a little salted butter on them though more like a sour dough, hard crust, air bubbles and a little chewy. Yum! 

For 4 smaller or 2 large baguette:

1/4 tsp dry active Rapid Rise Yeast

(Note: if you want to use a traditional bread technique, add the whole package of dried yeast or 2 1/4 tsp) 

1 1/2 cups water (325 grams)

1 3/4 tsp salt

18 oz by weight all-purpose flour (500 grams), about 4 cups

- Mix dough and let rise 12-14 hours or until doubled

- Punch down and shape loaves, let rise covered with floured plastic 1 to 1 1/2 hr or until almost doubled

- Bake at 550 F. Place a baking tray of water in oven before heating as steam is important for the process 

- Spray baguettes with water before baking, at 5 minutes, and at 10 minutes during cooking time
- Bake about 15 minutes or until well-browned

Bread making has always been my nemesis even though I'm a pretty decent baker. I have a great bread maker and that worked fabulously with malted grain flour that they 'used' to stock in Sultan Centre but they no longer have it. The normal bread flour as a loaf made in my bread maker became a little boring. So I found this recipe it looked pretty easy and although it is a lengthy procedure, it's well worth it. So prep it the night before, it takes 2-3 minutes and in the morning - punch down, shape, reproof, wait, bake and enjoy.
