19 Apr....the day was nice for a gd tan...lots of hot bikes, hot babes...hot guys...ok got not so hot ones..but who cares...everyone were out to hav some serious fun..and the sun was ever so obliging...gd news for the skin..bad news for the bodies...went to hav my body marking done...now this was fun...u had yr race numbers marked on both sides of your arms and i realised this was the fav photo opportunity moment for most..darn..shld've got a camera wit me..since i got mine marked by 2 girls who juz can't stop giggling while painting my arms...:)
so i started on the slow wave...gauged i will take more than 20mins for the swim since I HAV NOT BEEN SWIMMING....clocked 19mins...was like half front crawling n half breaststroking...dun care la...just swam as pro as possible...no matter wat muz got a bit of action la i was thinking...
next..hit the beach...legs were still ok...ran to my bike..swiped the sands of my feet..socks on, shoes on, vest on, sunglasses on and finally helmet on...but wait...fatigue sets in...ok...powergel 1 pack 1st...bike off the rack...mount..hehe...now can rest liao i was thinking...but no "ON THE RIGHT" cries were constantly heard..fed-up with having to give way..I also up the ante and join in the "ON THE RIGHT" bandwagon..boy was i wrong...it seems my legs has not gotten over the muscles used in swimming and by peddling in low gear..i am not letting it enuff time to switch...and i was to pay for this mistake during my run...cycling circuit was a nice and flat n we got the entire changi coast road, so overtaking was much safer..
bike off..helmet off..i lose track of time by now..sun was blazing its ray on me..so glad i rmbr my sunglasses this time..so i started my run...eh...wait..legs funny leh...shit..feelings of cramps in both calf...alright..no nid to hurry...it better to finish slow then to finish injured...so i do my "leisure" run...and after 2 rounds..it ws finally over..so happy to cross the finish line and the girls at the end point was nice to raise the tape again for me to dash past...haha..my less than one sec of fame..
so that's my virgin attempt at triathlon...how did i feel one day after...muscles are aching, shoulders, calves, tighs, and even the groin area..but i still felt gd...will i hav another go again...you bet!
