22 Feb 09 ---- She completed her first ever Swim Run event and truly enjoying it!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day before, I informed Susan that I’m putting her contact as my emergency contact since JC is having his training in the morning. I told her it’s my first open water swim event, I dunno how it’ll turn out. So make sure her phone is turned on in the morning in case the medic or hospital call. And my race starts at 830. Spent like half an hour preparing a checklist and packing all the stuff… Oh man….I have one full bag of stuff to bring!!!
We reached Tg Beach and get ourselves settled at the transition area. Arranging my stuff in sequence and found a prominent sign to remember where my spot is. Greatttttt…… I saw the marking of the turning point for the 200m swim..Ok…the distance looks comfortable.
We were walking around and dip ourselves while waiting for 830. And one thing I observed...... majority of the participants looks darn fit man!!!!!We reached Tg Beach and get ourselves settled at the transition area. Arranging my stuff in sequence and found a prominent sign to remember where my spot is. Greatttttt…… I saw the marking of the turning point for the 200m swim..Ok…the distance looks comfortable.
8.15am, I went to the start point with Tao and met up Lala & Eugene. We both are nervous indeed. Gun off at 830 the fun begins!!! Tao requested that I keep an eye on her and I agreed. But merely 20m away, I have lots of ppl surrounding me, goggles is getting a little foggy, I decided to just swim and swim and swim. Thank God I didn’t get kicked or punch. Just a slight body contact with someone at the start. The rest are all well. Zig zagging here and there and managed to overtake quite a fair bit. Turning in the next 100m into the transition area, I spotted Roonz from a far. Taking her as my target, I look no where except her…hehe..Roonz…are you reading this?? Nearing to the shore, she is there cheering for us ;) Yay!! I completed the swim!!
Ran into transition and about ready to go when Tao came in. Get my way out of the transition (so that my transition time will not be longer than swim time :) ) Waited for her at the running path. The run itself….was ok except some hard breathing. Finishing together in…xx:xx:xx…. Oopss….didn’t bother to look at the watch at all. Probably it’s somewhere around 25minx plus minus. But who cares….I’m luvvvinnngggg it!!
