Went on our family holiday to the states and tokyo, which was a blast. pics are up on my facebook. Had a wonderful time, not to say i've not been back to LA in like 10 yrs since i left SMC( santa monica college) was good to be back there. A few changes here and there but nothing major till i could not recognize it anymore unlike singapore, you go away for 2 months an wow something major has happened. It was the 4th of july weekend and not to say summer sales. So you should know how cheap things get in the states during that time. Think i did a way bit to much shopping hehehe.
Tokyo was nice, the city on awhole was abit just a wee bit to crowded, but it was a good experience. Easy to get around actually, for a first timer i was afraid that getting around would be a problem, but it was not. The tube system there is very comprehensible. Once again pics are up on facebook.
After that i was pretty much in to getting back in to shape after being away for 2 weeks with no training what so ever. Had portdickson tri in 2 weeks so had to pick up the training pace again. Did something freaky in PD just before the race, which rendered my right thumb useless. Basically did the whole race with out it. Swam by folding my thumb under my hand as i could not apply any pressure, the bike was rather painful as anytime the road got bumpy it would affect my thumb. Through out the whole run, my thumb had this throbbing pain pulsating through out the whole time. but none the less i finished the race.
Well went to see a doc, had an x-ray blah blah, found out it's a damage ligament... means 3 to 6 months full recovery. Hopefully everything is okie next week when i c the doc then i can start proper training again, cycling on the bike trainer is very boring, have not swam in 3 weeks. bah feeling lousy to some extent. o well better to rest an recover if not won't be able to race anymore that sucks even more. Well thats all for now folks. Later, god bless and be safe!
