Finally its over

Finally, duathlon is over.All the runs and cycling have finally come to an end.It was a tiring race indeed.Its all in your mind.

The day starts like this.Woke up at 0500hrs in the morning.Was late actually but manage to be on time, went for a quite breakfast but it wasnt that nice.Left camp at 0600hrs, drove all the way there with a sleepy mind.Reach like 0640hrs, waited for the rest of the commanders to reach by bus.Went to the bicycle shop and took the bicycle, check and get everything ready.I pity the uncle and aunty, got to wake up so early for us.Sorry.

The race kicked off at 0930hrs.First was the 10km run, was pretty okay compared to the training that we have.Completed the run in 55 minutes, went into transition for the 36km cycle.Was kinda de-moralize, my brain was tired and im dehydrated.The first 2 leg was fine but once I go into the 3rd leg my leg wasnt listening to me.Im really suffering from dehydration.My throat is dry, my mouth is dry.Really couldnt take it.After cycling for 36km went into the last 5km run.Wow..the run was like forever.Never ending.cramps and aching is everywhere.My knee is giving way.Anyway, manage to complete the whole race.No, since the duathlon is over i can rest my mind.But whats next??The IPPT which is coming in 2 months time, meaning training again plus the swimming heat im having next month.Its pretty taxing.I dont wanna take part in the swimming heats but i have no choice.I have to go.

I learnt something from today duathlon.How tough it is and how we should train or keep fit.Its not a matter of winning the race but completing it with your personal best.Through this race we could gauge how well our endurance are, how much we could push ourself.Yes, its in your mind.several time when i wanna give up i think about why i wanna join this event.Maybe its to test my endurance and how strong i am.But also to set a personal timing.To me, winning or not is not a problem.This is the first time i took part in this event i just wanna gain the experince.Whether anot i will take part in this kinda event again that is a question mark.

I feel that we really need the support and motivation from your love ones to cheer you on.Sometimes at a certain point of the race we just need to hear the voice of your love ones calling for you to push on.Well, overall its a good race.

Guys, have you took part in such event before??How does it feel??Tired, mentally and physically tired...ehmm...congrats to all the winners and the participant of the duathlon.We had a great race today and everyone is putting in alot of effort.Especially, the commanders of 4 SIR 12th mono..We have met our objective.To complete the race and built Espirit De Corp.All the way commanders.

Towards Greater Heights

Cheers
