It was a nice morning. I reached the area at 6.30am, had a breeze collecting race pack and body marking. But I felt like shitting! But the toilet at the race was so packed. I decided to warm up to lagoon food center and do my business there. It was gooooooddd! Had a good  12min warm up to and fro.

After that, i went to put my stuff at the transition. Saw quite a few army buddies there! But not much time to talk as I needed a long swim warm up. It was already 7.20 (my race start at 7.45) I quickly swam abit trying to looosen up by muslces. Have not been swimming much this year, about only 3km a week since january! I saw a long queue to go in to the starting area, so i thought just warm up more la. waste time queuing. THen i decided to go and queue at 7.40. I had a nice chat with Joshua. haha

Suddenly, we heard “you are now in the hands of the starter” I was like WTS! I cut queue and got my attendance marked and chiong into the sea in the middle of the pack. I was caught in the mess with all the punching and pulling. Quite fun though haha. I admit that I pulled one guy on the shoulder as I was desperate to get in front (thats what people do in international races) it was crazy but he pull my shoulder back. damn aggressive too man! hahaha. quite exciting. but oh well.

I stayed relax on the swim, swimming with willie loo! haha. didnt know it was him. he got botak head. when we came out i then knew it was him. Transition was shitty too slow. I had some difficulty wearing my shoes. haha. too long never practice.

On to the run. damn shiok! i have never felt so good on the run after a swim. It was a good run in good weather and I totally enjoyed it!
