That was yesterday. Really thankful the sis came down in the end! Hehe. Great to have someone cheering and taking care of you all the way, minus the taking of so many pictures. SO manyyyyyyyyyy.......
Actually, I kinda enjoyed the swim and the bobbing waves much more this time round. It was less crowded. So no drowning this time round. Except something hit me on the head and the following stinging sensation was quite painful. And the sea water was pretty filthy with alot of things floating around. And the salty-ness is still equally bad.
The bike part was pretty fun after all. Except got a little painful towards the end. Cuz I wasn't wearing tights. Okay, I admit I kinda slacked quite abit here.
The run was badbadbad. On my first round, I really thought of what'll happen if I walked. (And my brain told me, everyone will zoom by me!) So I decided not to be loser-fied like the slow ppl ard me and just keep MOVING MY LEGS. Many thanks to the sis for the 100plus at the loop-ing point. Really refreshing except I choked on it. The second round was MUCH better. I experimented with opening my legs with bigger strides and the muscles responded well. So I kick-started the engine and just overtook overtook, aim for next person in front, overtake! Weather on second run wasn't too nice. A little hot. Very thankful for the short route to the end. And then it was over! YAY.
I'm now officially a triathlete :)
And then I came back to choing my work all the way till 3+am, slept for 3hrs+ woke up at 6+ to continue doing work till class at 12.30 (jap quiz) till 4.30pm where I then was able to eat lunch.
Swim training was slack and fun! With 50m kicking scissors paper stone!
Goodnight.
