if only we can juz plug and play.. like lotsa mp3 players or game consoles can... juz plug in the module u wan.. and play...
been trying to learn more abt my work in the last couple of weeks... found some books and articles on it... but it's damn difficult to juz learn by urself... juz by plain reading... no one to teach, no one to ask questions.. sigh.. if only i can juz upload these info up there....
for friends who knows me... u'll know that im useless in water, the main reason why i've nv really participated in any Triathlon (relays not counted).. i think the possibilities will be endless if i can swim well... and in open waters... there's so many triathlons and ironman races in the regions, ard the world!
aiyah the next closest thing will be duathlon liaoz.. run, bike, run.. (as opp to swim, bike, run)... did my 3rd duathlon (a tiny one for the 1st, a full distance one as 2nd) last sunday at seletar / mandai area... Run 1 was 3km in the Seletar Reservior Park, it started with a downslope after flag off...n ppl were already sprinting!! and coz it's a down, i can't help but to pick up some speed as well... by the time i reach the bottom of the 500m slope, i was already breathless!! useless! anyway i din stop la...very su seh leh, to walk 500m after flag off... aiyo... the path in the park wasn't extremely easy to run, there's a few up slopes and i nv train on such high angled slopes at all... the last stretch of this leg is a 2 km flat in the open... but in the warm morning sun... personally i'll prefer a cooler weather la... anyway i took close to 17min for the 1st leg. not too bad..
biking was relatively smooth, no major screw ups or complains, im a better cyclist than a runner/jogger.. but cycling on a mtb with slicks, u cant really compete with serious roadies with aerodynamic bike frames, body frames, and even helmets (looks like a droplet of water from top view, reminded me of PUB mascots...hehe...) but i was quite surprised to find only a few rookie cyclists... most of them looked pretty serious.... i was saying to chelsea mayb this is the main difference between competitions like this and mass public events like marathons or bike rally or runway cycle... took slightly over 33min for 2nd leg..
leg 3, the last grueling run in the park... by then it was close to 10am.. the sun is high and air is humid.. the final stretch along the flat open was quite a torture... 2km under the scorching sun, many times i feel so much like stopping to walk.. but i din, i know tht if i did, i can nv start running again...took 19min for the last leg...
3km run, 15km bike, 3 km run... 1hr 13min 59s.. ok la.. acceptable... i was preparing to take 2hrs... hehe.. very forgiving hor?
i think im complaining too much... it's only a sprint distance! the real one is coming in june...
no photos as phone was deposited in the bag area and the wife was at home with the kid...
