Race Season Gone By
Sunday, March 28, 2010
9:18:00 pm
And so today marks the end of yet another season; 4 races; the month of March!
Truthfully? Today's race wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Perhaps hearing how Angie wasn't here today really released the pressure before the race!
No race evaluation for me but just, hmmm, reflections! hehe so here goes:
I really don't know what I was doing during the swim! Seriously.... It was an all-over-the-place swim. Not good! Run was pretty okay. The hills weren't THAT bad. The drinks station sadly only had SIS when I wanted W-A-T-E-R! The gap between Sumiko and me kept staying abt the same and I didn't quite care to push the extra bit really! Till she got nearer at the steps and Marcus cheered to run faster and since she didn't seem to be speeding up? Okay, why not? So all in all, it wasn't tough at all! And I actually enjoyed it! :) The end!
What I've gotten over these 4 races, is to get real experienced in pre-race preparation the night before! Haha. 3 consecutive weeks left me feeling "again?" last night.
And most importantly, I REALLY enjoyed it all! And I've come to realise that I've grown to LOVE this sport I'm doing a LOT A LOT. And because of that, I am HAPPY! Also, not forgetting, graduation from Monster School! :)
Oh, AND a whole load of race pics on FB!
Many thanks goes to thE SISTER! And Mr. J! For all the constant support <3
The race ended at 9am and prize presentation was at noon and so guess what we did in 3hrs?
Nothing much really.
Walked around a little. Talked a little. Took some pics. Stoned a little. Ate PBBs. Collected goodie bag. Bathed. Entertained ourselves with Pam + Zj's mini "relay"! Collected 3 medals of the same colour today. Somehow diminishes their value no? But yes, some are valued more than the other :)
Headed to Bugis via MRT from Buona Vista for lunch at MOF! I didn't get my mocha coffee gelato in the end :( We didn't want to follow the rest to idunnowhere to eat Chinese dessert so, Lyanna, Michel and me, led by Leewei went to Shaw Tower (new sunset try-out spot!) to find Tom's Palette only to find out they're closed on Sundays! Aghast? YES! The craving for ice cream led us a junction away to Andersen's at Suntec. Ahhhhhhhh, iceeeeeeeeee creammmmmmmmmm :)
4 happy smiles!
Then to City Hall MRT to NEL home.
Then home and trained all the way back to NTU.
Dead tired? Yes, very!
And somehow I feel like I've trasversed the MRT line back and forth back and forth today!
All in all, I feel pretty accomplished this season and Glory to God for giving success to His Child! :)
And to the sister for yet another win! (As expected as Mok's) And a amazing 3rd to the SLEEPY+tired+training bike Jambion! :)
I am so blessed to know of / have so many monsters in my life!
And because I somehow wake up so early STILL, I shall SLEEP EARLY! Too much lack of sleep!
(bytheway Michel sleeps at 9PM EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!)
IT IS 10PM! Bedtime folks!
Have a great week ahead!
RECOVERY WOOOHOOOOO :)
