3 yrs an counting!

So it's been 3 yrs since fei passed away. Somehow when visiting his niche yesterday the feeling was abit different then before. Guess losing my mum this yr has a part to play for it. Sadness came over me once again, of a life that was once so great being taken away, just like mum. Thinking to myself why again. Fond memories came rushing back in to my head of the days gone by where fei would joke or call me Zeus. So weird how it is the 3 people that have passed away in our family was due to leukemia. Not a day goes by i wonder do i live my day to the fullest or at least i try. No day but today! You are still missed fei, an our heart still aches with the pain of your lost.

Back to life, so subic bay is less then 2 months away. It would by far be the longest race i would have done. 4km swim, 120km bike followed by a 30km run. If i can complete this race then IMWA should be okie. I got 3 weeks to get my bike up to 120km... i'm so dead lol. I've started to push myself harder on training and made my distance longer. My run is more or less settled since i can a marathon 2 weeks ago, swims more or less covered i think .. all i got let to do is my bike. Well , i update you sooner then you think so stay in tune..

Aching and in pain!

So yes i finally did my full 42km..... Not in a very respectable timing but i did it none the less... The route on the whole was not as i expected.. the first 25km of the run was good after that it's were it got abit hard. Rather undulating especially after the 25km aid station, the path was narrow actually the path was narrow almost everywhere after that besides a few places. The up's and down's reminded me of running at mac, not to add the few over head bridges that we had to go up and down from. If you ask me i rather swim bike and run then do a full marathon. Even 70.3 was alot easier then this. On a whole i guess i could not ask for me as i was rather under trained. I only had 3 months proper to get ready for it. At least, i finished before the sun rose so i can still call this marathon sundown marathon. 

Like to thank jeanette for pulling me on the last part of the run if not i would have been walking still. Cheers babe you ran a good race :) To all the ppl that came down to support thanks alot, especially to my dad and aunty for waiting for me at the finishing line the thought kept running in my mind how bad i felt for making them wait so long, was suppose to finish this race under 5 hrs not after. 

Well my legs are sore, i taking this whole week off training to rest them then it's BSKL need to start training again, subic bay is in 2 months an i so not ready for it.
