yesterday's xphysique was a blast! the combi of bryan, clarence, afri and i created much synergy. clarence and bryan are very strong team mates to race with. i was kayaking with clarence and we were going fairly fast. we managed to overtake about 4-5 kayaks ahead of us. definitely much better an attempt than trying to paddle with afri the last time round. he kept hitting my head with the paddle. bleah... after clarence and i hit the shore, we were about 5mins ahead of afri and bryan. both of us got the chance to abseil down shaw towers too.. it was nice meeting jasmine at the abseil site..haven't seen her in a while. towards half way of the race, afri started to feel cramps and punctured..thanks to bryan we went to the back to keep pushing him on, afri continued to press on. i just kept on pace to continue jogging and not stop while clarence shuttled between me and bryan. our team came in 6th in position..but was later alleviated to 3rd position due to the time penalties the earlier teams incurred. it was a pleasant pleasant surprise for us =) we were just beaming away.
apart from the 4hrs race itself yesterday, i kick started it early at cali way at 9am. 9-10am i was bodypumping.. 10-11am i was down spinning. after spinning, i had a nice warm shower before walking down 2mins to youth park to register for the race. race started at 1pm and ended quarter past 5 for us. after the prize presentation at 720pm, i cycled home.
so much for an adrenaline packed day!
next up is the duathlon this sunday. and after that, 2 more weeks to vertical marathon.
woohooo..so much fun!!
adrian mok pm-ed me to tell me he might be able to find me a team mate for sabah.. -keeps her finger crossed- i really really want to go for it.. but with no team mates, i can't.
i think body pump helps a great deal in terms of building my strength. so thankful for those biceps and triceps which have developed a little from all the iron pumping. it helped during the kayaking quite a bit. heh heh..continue to do my dips!!!
weiliang's going to take a break from mtbiking..and he's going to part with his klein. i think i more heart pain for him. his klein-veronica, is such a babe. i hope the person who buys it over will do it justice.. race with it..it's a machine meant for the trails.
was too sleepy to run this morning though i did wake up at 4am. guess i'll push it back to tonight. will still get on with my noon jog and stairs..followed by swim tonight. after i get home, then i'll do my run.
one thing i have always kept in mind during races- keep moving. keep running. we will get to the finish line, eventually.
