10th November 2012 Running

Was sifting through and clearing my FB messages.

This is what I found. Sweet memories.
Bintan Triathlon 2008

I also just realised why I feared Tour de Bintan!
I went to TdB with an alu bike, normal cranks and 3 bottles of plain water!!!
Not so much about the bike, but 3 bottles of plain water? No salt tablets, no electrolytes (Gosh, din even know about such stuff till 2011. Really a super noob.)

Reading back on messages dated 2009 to 2011, it was really awful.
I am literally working most weekends and public holidays.
Glad those days are over.

 ****

Felt the urge to do a run so off I went.
Again, the first km was tough.
But once past that, things got better although the second km always meant a gentle climb.
I can feel the pace a little faster than yesterday but that does not necessary translate into better timing.
Was so disappointed when I saw 34.58 on the watch.
Only when I brought up yesterday's timing did I gain some relief...
I was half a minute quicker. Phew...
