I have not been training for a while again. =(
My Strava has yet to log anything =(
While I intend to ride on Friday, I look in amusement at how fast the Rain Animation is changing.
I was about to step out of the house when I get this severe headache. Not sure what it is but this is the second time it strikes.
Back of the head.
Decided to sleep it off, as it worked the first time.
The moment I hit the pillow, the thunderstorm started.
Phew...
Sleeping at 12pm on Friday night, I know my Saturday Ride is off.
I seems to be able to find tons of excuses for not exercising. =(
Got told off by Mike on FB for playing FB games instead of cycling.
(Not too sure if u guys can see the posts, cos I cannot see it on the Wall! But I got it in my email notification.)
Haha, while I went to collect my Tri-Bike Race Pack, I started thinking.
I am positive that my whole non-training issue kinda started when I start my current job.
Pretty intense, but satisfying work.
But my training regime took a huge hit.
It snowballed into a training woe just before IMWA, so I am pretty happy and feeling lucky that I scrapped through the race. With time to spare. =p
In more ways than one, I am glad that I completed IMWA.
A Dream Accomplished.
Seriously speaking, I would not have imagine what would have happen if I did not complete. Major Bouts of Depression?
Truth be told, 80% of the people thought that I may not complete but praying for me to complete.
I wish to thank all of you for keeping me in your prayers.
You all were all too kind to keep the negative thoughts from reaching me. I thanked you!
By completing IMWA, I did not know what impact it did.
But slowly I realised that I have Inspired quite a number of individuals to step up to the plate and try to accomplish their own Dream.
I gave them that Glimmer of Hope that once you work towards a goal, Anything is Possible.
I never know that I can be an Inspiration, but hellya! =)
The downside of that one single race is that I started have knee pains that just won't go away.
I have not have bad knee pains for quite a while, so for the pain to surface right after the race meant that I have truly torture the knees.
For a month after the race, there are times where I walk and my knees suddenly buckled.
What a price to pay for one race =(
If I dun exercise, I dun feel it.
If I do, it come back to haunt you in varying degrees.
Again I believe that this is one of my many excuses for not exercising.
The recent incident of reckless drivers does take a bit out of me too.
Especially so cos Kristen Koh
s accident happen in my own backyard!
(I will write more about Kristen at the end of this post.)
Maybe the Real Cause could be the Lack of Motivation.
After the DREAM, it seems like what is next?
I am not one who target for Personal Best.
For the better half of the last 5 years, my focus was on completing an Ironman.
Now that I have done that, I dunno what to do next.
I thought my failure at Kuantan Century Ride would have woke me up, but it did nothing much to turn things around. =(
My wife keep asking me to sign up for races to keep myself motivated, so we shall see how things go.
Enuff said. Let us all just pray for the best...
Either I get back into sports enthusiastically or maybe I may just turn lethargic as what this picture suggested.
More on Kirsten.
Local Papers have turned her into a sensation, but I truly think she is an inspiration to anyone who wanna piece their lives back together again.
I saw her after the Tri Factor Swim and she was grimacing while putting on her socks.
I was wondering how she is going to complete SunDown Marathon a week away in this condition.
I am glad she did. =)
Maybe SunDown Marathon to her now is just like what IMWA was to me.
I am pretty sure that one of these days, she will set her goal on completing an Ironman, if she has not done so yet.
Her Tri Factor Swim timing is better than me!!!
OMG!!! I need to find a hole and hide. LOL
P.S. Finally saw and realised what happen to my blog postings.
Hope you guys din have a terrible time reading the previous posts which does not have paragraphing.
