TRIBOB DUATHLON 2008

it's been a looonnnggg day..

dragged myself out of the comforts of my cool bed and room to face the brand new day..

peered out the window.. and memories of school days flashed back.. waking up at such hours.. 6am... but the same ole me.. woke up @ 6, and rolled back into bed again.. and thankfully germs called me again @ 645.. WOOPS.. late..

Finally got down at 7 n off we were on the journey to Mandai for the TRIBOB Duathlon..

Cool place.. reservoir view was lovely.. breeze was morning fresh n tat miss forgetful forgot to change into slippers while we cycled from the car to the start point.. and when we got to start point she realised that she didnt bring the $50 for the chip.. had to cycle back to e cary again...



Soon enough race begin, 1st leg of 3km was great, pacing each other all the way, and then the 15km stretch.. one BIG lesson learnt.. usu its the bad workmen that blames his tools but for me.. my mountain bike was certainly the wrong tool for the race.. the road bikers whizzed past and I was still crawling away..
Oh well.. nonetheless.. that was cleared and the next 3km was painful.. muscles tightened, breathing lots heavier.. and the heat.. yes the mighty heat.. took loads outa me.. dehydrated me so much that I walked most parts and was dying for the water station.. and after I hydrated meself a bit.. it was great that the girl marshalls were so supportive and cheered me on even when I was one of the last to finish the race..

WEll.. today's fulfilling, exhausting, joyous, muscle aching.. and even as im blogging about this I dozed off twice.. better get on my OSIM i pampie to ease the tight muscles and off to recharge!!!

NExt up .. OSIM triathlon!! WOOHOO!!!!
