Completed my 1st half IM. :)

I’m so happieeee la! Completed my 1st half IM!! Woohoo~ :D

I enjoyed the swim, didn’t get whack left right centre anyhow, very glad, also finished under cut-off, my biggest worry aside, proceeding to the bike leg, scenery is awesome, riding along the expressway, all the way to west coast. Prolly paced myself too much @ the start of my bike leg, I whacked hard on the last and final loop! Now bike aside, YEAH!! 21k and I will be half IM certified! But, before I embark on the run leg I had to change to my run skirt la! Very vain I know but who cares! It’s MY race!! :P =p

Results out~ I finished 4th in my age group category, in 6:28:37. Sbr spilt = 0:54:46, 3:14:12, 2:10:07.

My very first 70.3!

Gosh it is less then a week to my first 70.3!

Feel very the stress 1 hor!

I’m awfully worried about not being able to complete the 1.9k swim under 1hr 10mins…… Sigh yes ‘s swim again… My weakest link…

Also very the worried about the bike leg, especially sharp corners, bends or turns, I WILL, unclip, stop, flip my bike, then carry on… #)

But once I clear the 2 disciplines, I will heave a sigh of relief because running is the least stressful for me of the 3. @ least I have something to look forward to, my attire!! Heehee

And, did I not mention it’s the most expensive race fees ever!!

So I just hope to be able to complete the race…

Wish me luck will you… I need it…….

Singapore Biathlon 2009

Singapore Biathlon 2009

Saturday, 7th March

My very first biathlon! O.D.!

FYI, I am certainly not glad about the mass swim start for I WILL kena whack left, right, centre! :$

07:30 BANG!

I hesitated for a while, I was like okay, to avoid unwanted congestion, I need to swim far, far away from the crowd, so I picked a spot far, far away from the lane rope and started my 1.5k swim For a while, I was swimming quite comfortably, quite happy, until I find myself somehow, caught up in the midst of the crowd…… The current has sent them here!! My happiness was short-lived! Being a weak swimmer, I had difficulty breaking away. Hence, I AM caught in the mess for some time. :(

And, needless say, bottlenecks @ the turns again.

I heave a sigh of relief after clearing the 1^st 750m. *Phew*

But somehow the 2^nd 750m seems forever! And, I can still kena kicked by breaskstrokers every now and then. Arrggghhhh!

I tell you, I was so annoyed with the amount of kicks I am getting, I just felt like giving up. Yes, it was that bad for me.

Stroke, stroke, stroke, eh, how come I am still very the far leh.

I was sighting, and I thought I caught a glimpse of a blue cap swimming furiously past me.

I suddenly felt super duper stressed can! “Oh no! Oh no! Did I like miss the cut off time? Are they gonna fish me up anytime?” kept running thru my mind as I continued to stroke.

I just felt like giving up! Yes, again that thought came up again when I saw a couple more blue caps swim past.

But! Nevertheless, I endured!! So, I continued to stroke and got a teeny wheey tiny bit happier when I felt the sand. Ah!

I never felt so tired out of the water before. I suspect I was wrestling more then I was swimming!

I was pretty demoralized by how slow I am @ the swim leg, that I just got no mood to push for the run leg.

I just lost my focus there and then How could I lose it so easily. :(

But, I knew I had to finish what I started and so I did.

Obviously, I didn’t feel good after the race. Because I know I did not put in my 100%.

I took freaking 45 minutes in the sea. Too slow girl!!

As a matter of fact, I always finish among the last few, which I am pretty CERTAIN I fall in that category. Yes, results showed!!

I really, really need to work on my swim, seriously. Well, well, that's what I always TELL myself, you know the say but never put it into action kinda. Well, that’s me! At least, for things that I do not find joy in doing!

Montaigne once said, "Saying is one thing and doing is another." So true lar!
