AFamosa Triathlon (Olympic Distant) Mar-12-2006

( extracted from Trifam AFomosa Thread)

I thought after KL Marathon I could have a decent break before the next cheong again. Never had I expected the Crazy WWSK (Woof Woof SK -- aka Indabigin) needed some company going up AFomosa… so jio jio the SLK gang to go up with him… even email registration on out behalf…

We (BKlew, Timme, Jennifery, Edkor, WWSK n myself) departed Singapore Woodland check point at 3:50am on Sunday. Most of us have less than 2 hours of sleep the nite before so it is definitely going to be challenging.Yes, Like what Edkor mentioned in his post, we were greeted by 2 hills before the race started. Bad Omen!!!.

It was a mass and wet start. As I didn’t have a good pre-swim warm up.... I was a bit panic and got choke badly 5m after the swim. Wave my hand to the safety boat but 2 seconds later decided to push on…. and manage to finish the swim and proceed with the rest.

The Bike course was tough (esp after weeks of slacking in Bike training) it seems that the bike route is more uphill then down hills... Althought the down hill is shiok but the rough road surface put me on high alert looking out for pot holes and dangerous spot. Quite Demoralising!!!…. But mange to putt thru.

The run was straight forward just run run and run .. Keep telling myself just endure and for another XX mins left..…Hot sun was shiningg hard from the back…can really feel the HEAT!!!

What a relief reaching back the finishing point. The Icy PowerBar Towel, Colling Ice Milo ( I think I had 7 cups of them!!!)

It was a great feeling having to meet other Trifam Kakis there: SmallCircle, Poon, BlueShoeMouse, SBSSAR, Marco, Tee4two&Bro, Victoria, Tri-Jon, Mervyn, … whoelse??
