I had an easy day today. Was planning to do an easy 2k swim and then
2k pull, but I ended up swimming 3.8k straight and pulling only 500m.
I figured I should get used to the feeling of swimming 3.8k! Felt good,
really relaxed and really easy... I did it in about 1h 10min. Nothing
much else other than my Orbea frame cracked and I've got to get a new
frame now. Have decided on the Pinarello
F4:13 in pink 42.5cm. Buggin Ah
Hock to ship it in asap, so please pray for me and that my new bike
comes in soon!

160k!! The longest bike ride I've ever done!! And I could get off the
bike and walk normally, no back pains... a good sign! well ok, the truth
is i biked 142k and then went to wash my bike at Cycleworx and then had
lunch and biked home. So really it's not 160k straight. But a bloody good
effort don't you think???? And that's after running 16k yesterday! Right,
I'm REALLY excited about the Ironman now. So far today I've eaten - for
breakfast: 2 slices of banana bread with peanut butter, 1 kopi bing, half
a powerbar. during the ride: the remainder of the powerbar and a litre
of 100plus. after the ride: an assortment of biscuits. lunch: scraps of
duckmeat, one ang ku kueh and one can of liang teh. snack: fruits and
2 slices of bread with peanut butter. As you can tell, I really need to
work on the nutrition department. How many calories you reckon I burn
on a 160k ride? Better get a nice dinner.

I had a really good day today, partly because I had no work. Partly
also because I went back to RJC and did a long run with Mr Leong. Running
with him brings back memories of my jc days when I used to run with him
every day after school and on Sunday mornings too! He is an awesome athlete
and an equally amazing coach and now training partner. So we went on for
about an hour and a half from rjc to macritchie through SICC and to pierce
reservoir and back. A very nice and slow pace that allowed for nonsensical
banter. Our next run is going to be on Wednesday, and we're going for
three hours... it's been a good week so far. After taking Monday off following
the PD tri, I've put in three 16k running sessions and one 5k swim. Tomorrow
will be a 150km bike (I hope!) and perhaps Sunday will just be an easy
spin. I'm getting really excited about the Ironman!
