Finally, the day has come

Osim International Triathlon 2007

Had a bad night though

Could not sleep well

Maybe just feeling excited

Anyway, got up at 7am and set off at 8

Well, definitey I am not cycling to ECP so took a cab

The cab driver is so helpful and guess wat???

He is also an avid cyclist

We were chatting all about bikes till we reach ECP

Had to take the far route as the service road is close

Then panic struck me when I try to assemble my bike

My back tyre alignment was off

Damn I panic

Of all time, it has to happen to me

At ECP, just before the competition

My back tyre just refuse to move

Had to carry my bike all the way to the food centre

Damn, it was a daunting task, with the weight and distance

It just dawn on me that its gonna be a bad day

Lucky for me, when I dismantled my bike and put on the tyre back

It just fits in nicely

Damn I was lucky

And there we were

Dawn, Steven, Sherlene, Maria, Annchi and myself

Feeling a bit jittery but it all fade away after a while

I still have the cheek to have roti john for breakfast hehehehe

Our wave started at about 11am

Yeah, we waited for 2 hours

My, was Dawn and Steven fast

Was just preparing myself for the cycling leg

And there they were running down from the bridge

Now here is my turn

Running with my bike

Trying to gain a head start

And hell i put on my running shoes... hehehe

The mud does not deter me a bit

Off i went on my bike

(Annchi was like telling me after that they could not notice me when I set off, guess i was like a lightning)

Hey, feeling a bit Kan chiong i guess

But it was a good ride

Feel like "Tour d France" ala Singapore style

Wheezing past some cyclist

Damn i admire those road race bike, and the legs that drives the bike on

They gave me added booster trying to play catch up with the season triathelets

Then, a thought struck me

How many laps was I suppose to cover????

Oh gawd, I forgot

Oh well, just continued with two laps and hey, I was right

(only after I confirm with the officials hahahaha)

Nontheless, I was happy

And it gave my runner a good buffer for her to be in comfort

Overall it was a great experience

If only i could swim

Had i joined for the individual sprint

hahaha

Guess i need to learn swimming

Now, waiting for the next triathlon to come to town

Thanks Dawn for roping me into this event

And to the supporters that came to lend us their voices under the pouring rain

namely Lisa n fren, Syifa, Eve, Maria's fren and Anthony

Thanks guys!!!
