it had been months since i last posted on my blog. it had been month since i did any form of serious training. and it had been months since my last event.
this year started out slow and this swim+ run event at sprint distances is a good way to gear up for the 2009 season. quite excited when arriving at the venue to do the usual in-processing. but seriously i was in a very relaxed mood - no pressure and just have fun and enjoy the event.
i chosed to start in the last wave where it was non-competitive all male group. thought i got in the right wave as the pace was more forgiving and have less jostling during the start phase.
although the event was non competitive for me, i did set some target to make this event more meaningful. i was doing some laps yesterday in the pool and i took about 25min for 750m. so i thought anything close to 22min will be good. to my surprise i did it under 20min on my watch! i was so motivated to transit into my run then which i was targeting a slower 6min/km. which i also achieved just slight under at 29min. wow! i shaved more than 6mins off my target combine time of 55min. well done i told myself! hee dorry for the self praise and indulgence. don't we need some self encouragement and motivating from time to time? you know what i mean.
overall the event was great and i had loads of fun. the main difference is this time A* was there throdding around with my dslr for the first time to capture some nice moments. enjoy some of my favourite photos.
