Had such a tiring swim session yesterday... was not funny... my arms were aching by the time we got in to our 5th set of 200m... which is weird as i normally would be more then able to swim 200x5 , but somehow yesterday my arms did not want to move i blame it to the 2 days of wake boarding. Friday and Saturday that's more combine in the last yr altogether, but i must say it was good to be out at sea feeling the sea breeze socking in the atmosphere was the best part about it all.
Had a really sinful week last week as well, beer beer and more beer plus pork knuckle and all the works, not to say deep fried chicken wings with fires plus more beer. brup think i'm making up for the last time. Since i started training for tri's and shitz i turned my diet around a fair bit acutally. I can sit down watch my friends eat supper and i would not be eatting, for one that loves to eat lol.
Well, would be looking forward to interval training today, haven done any in like 5 months i'm so going to suffer, but somehow this sort of pain i enjoy.

In a long time!
Okie i know it's been awhile since i wrote here, well actually a month. Been kinda of busy and to add lazy hahahaha ..... Did the open water swim today. It's nice to go to an event where you just meet up with people you know doing it. Seems like whatever event you sign up for you will have the same friends doing it as well. Thanks to the spirit i take it. O should i say only triathletes are crazy people enough to sign up for event after event year round. Did the 3km swim today. Which was to be a 3 loop course. Only swam once last week after which i feel ill to the flu bug an was out for the rest of the week till yesterday. Actually even yesterday, i was still abit under it. But having signed up for it was going to do it. Just take it like a relax swim and plus all the people who have donated to the cause i could not let them down as well. Thanks to all those who donated!
Having been so hot and sunny for the last few days, i was half expecting that i would wake up to rain like every other sunday morning so far, but no when i got up this morning it was not raining. Dragged myself out of bed, checked if i was still sniffing from the cold which i was, but thought to myself that after the warm up it would go away. Anyway, after having not been able to do anything for the last 5 days i was really feeling the need to get some workout done. Funny how now adays if you don't do something for more then 2 days one starts to get a bit moody. I've asked a few people an they tend to agree with me. I guess it just does not feel the same body wise. Okie back to the swim. Drove down to F2 reached there about 7am. Meet up with some of the bskl people they were heading off to tuas today as changi coastal has gotten abit mess with all the road works now. So a smoother ride would be to the west. Go west life is peaceful there came to my mind today. Meet up with small circle, jerrywan and awhole lot of other trifam people who where doing the race. All of us were in high spirits. It's like a get together session. My wave was suppose to start at 745 but we did not start till like 810 i think.
POOOOO the horn sound an we were off. Me being in the first wave as the second wave was the second wave was the masters which means people over then 35. Decided to start off at the back of the pack as we all know if you are up front it's either you zoom ahead or be in caught in the human washing machine. SO i slowly made my way over taking people, got in to my stride of things. The first lap went by rather fast i say. All in all i avge about 20mins a km not to bad la. The second lap i was thinking to myself why why lol .. i guess this is where the mental part of it all comes in to play while you are in the middle of any long distance swim you are doing. Switched between breast stroke and free style. Came to the third loop the final last km of the swim, looked at my watch was a little behind the timing i gave myself. So for the last 500 meters or so i decided to up my pace abit. Surprisingly i still had alot in me. I guess all the monday swim sessions paid off. People that over took me now i was over taking them now. All in all it was a good swim. Just that when i got out of the water man no thanks to the salt water i kinda lost my taste buds for awhile and my throat was sore, but after a few bottles of water it was all back to normal again.
All in all i had a good work out after a long time. Tomorrow i can go to the pool an play water as i already did my mileage for the week *wink*
