long sunday

totally exhausted when i stepped into home yesterday. it was an extra long day for me.

at 2+am i was woken up by a mozzie which gave me 7 "love"bites. surprised to find justin online. we chatted till abt3+am. feeling all restless at 4+am, i put on my saucony shoes and went for a 6.5km run. got back, showered, lied in bed for a while before picking myself off my bed and cycled down to east coast park for my race.

got there really sleepy as i managed to keep myself awake by talking to some friends. i love races, coz those are chances to see all my friends. tri circle is not big..so more or less, after a while, those familiar faces become easily recognisable.

the weather yesterday was beauuuuutiful! no hot sultry sun..just a sky with hovering greyish clouds and those blow-me-away gusts of wind.

i raced within my own expectations. happy with it. ok..goal 1 was to NOT come in last for my category...2nd goal was to do a sub-3. i was estimating, 10km run=1hr, 36km bike 1hr 15mins, 5km run=40mins. i did a 2hr 45min (according to my own stop watch) i did a 54mins 10km, 1hr 19mins bike, 31mins 5km. the bike wasn't too good as i was hoping to push harder but the headwind didn't make it too easy. i was spinning at an average of 90rpm..but i was only going at an average 29-30kmh. i really don't like those hair pin turns as they force me to slow down drastically and then having to pick up speed again was..ARGGH. nonetheless, overall, it was a good race for me.

the not-too-good part came only AFTER the race. i had to ride down to running lab to start work at 1pm. by the time i ended the race and gained composure (mine was the 3rd wave..so i ended a little late) it was already almost 1230pm. having to find my way out of the cordoned off areas i was only on my bike by 1240pm. 20mins?!? how to get to rl in 20mins.. so i sms-ed sam to tell him i'll be late. got to work by 128pm.

worked at rl till 830pm.

cycled home! i got home in 1hr5mins. i would have been able to do better, if not for the numerous red lights! i stopped for about 8times at the traffic junctions. totally disruptive!

had a good dinner of cucumber and crab sticks with some ham for dinner. shortly after which, i plonked on my bed, zombified, dead beat and asleep.

this morning, i did a slow recovery 4km run to work.

i'll attempt to run and climb stairs during lunch time if i don't have to go to school.

tonight will be swimming..ahhhhhhhhhhh..it's going to be muo gui training again! hehehe..

let's see what we're made to do tonight ya? =) will update tomorrow!
