Ironman


Aviva 70.3 Ironman this sunday here in Singapore. and OMG, Macca is here, plus Craig and a whole lot of elites. So tempted to go and watch on Sunday morning.
it is starting at 7am but I wanna do my long run. maybe what i shld do is to do my run earlier and then pop over there to cheer and get a glimpse of Macca. that would be my game plan. LOL
I have always wanted to do a triathlon, and the ultimate Ironman (full). Swim is my greatest barrier, and the thought of swimming in choppy open waters is really not appealing. So, ended up I only did a team event and the rest is history, staying on land. Maybe i shld take up swimming lessons and correct my strokes and efficiency. mmm...but mich and family is not gonna like it. "u got a family", "open waters is too dangerous"...
Or I shld stay on land and do the ultramarathons and powerman duathlons, i.e. those endurance races on land?
dilemma? this is the only mind bogging thing that bothers me for a while.
Anyway, just bought a number of CDs from Sembawang which is having 50% storewide sales. Now, loading music into my ipod, a gift from mich. muak..hehe.. spice up my long runs.
Ironman supporter I am, woohoo...

thanks tekko

u mean the ironman or the ultra-distances? i think for me, water is a psychological barrier that needs time to break, of course, i need to make the step to take up lessons.

let me chew on it
