Yesterday, i did my swim again. Once again, i managed to do 35.05mins for 1.5km and 48.00mins for 2.0km. Why so inconsistent??
Doing a half ironman is never an easy thing. Not only you will be physically affected but will mentally as well. This feeling, you can never tell it to people who do not do sports. When you try telling them, their reply will be no one asks you to do it, right. You have yourself to ask for it… Can’t be more encouraging meh.
Thou my beloved mentor SC had again n again assure me that i be fine but i am just scared. He asked me to get rid of that fear thoughts. Nothing to be afraid of, he says. SC had been an ironman for countless times and he did double of what i be doing. Today, he told me that the oldest participant @ Langkawi Ironman is 73 years old. Despite the age, the old man did 14 hours over… Amazing. He must be damn strong.
I must brace myself to face it. Anyway, is my choice to enter this race and i can’t regret but to look forward. Many times, i feel like breaking down and let go but i think of mummy Shawn. She is really my idol. Thou she might not have the speed but her endurance is greatly unbeatable. Salute her.
So nothing to scare, nothing to fear, ok..just go ahead with it…
During weekends, i have to wake up as easy as 3 plus in the morning. Reason for doing so is to avoid heavy traffic. See how consider am i … LOL
