Sunday , OSIM day ... maybe not .... was down yesterday to support some friends of mine taking part in the sprint ... and at the same time to check out how the place was ... it was more of an adventure race at the transition area with the mud bath ... one of the guys was going it's more like a muddy place to waddle in with a beer ... So having learnt from yesterday ... i brought 2 coleman filled with water, trash bags, rags to battle the mud ...
So once again mother nature played a late April fools joke on us ... The sun was out this morning, was so looking forward to a nice sunny day doing the OD... but alas ... at about 11am a storm from the south west started blowing over ... lighting thunder blah blah blah ... so the whole race was postpone by half an hr .... there were still ppl cycling and swimming in the choppy sea .. the sea was white capped ... that's how bad it was ... tumbs-up to the ppl who were still in the sea swimming ... not to say the safety crew working out in the sea as well ... i'll put up picks once i can get my photo shop up to resize them :) Mr coconut at work hehehe ...
Okie back to the race .. so having delayed it by half an hr, it was about 11.40 before the rain stopped an everyone was eager to start the race again... But BUT BUT .. due to the time ... blah blah blah ... the roads need to be open at 2 pm there is not enough time for all of us to complete the race .... so the swim was canceled ... least to say we were told to cycle 2 rounds not the full 4 rounds and 1 round of the run not 2 ... So, i decided that it's not worth getting all muddy for a 20km bike and 5km run .. i went home ... so much for my first Osim OD .. my last as well i think ... next up is 70.3 woot !!!!!
