CHIN WOO BIATHLON 2010 - BREAST STROKE ALL THE WAY!

This was my first biathlon competition. Actually Amsyah had 'racun'ed me before Sundown Marathon, more 'parakuat' and 'racun rumpai' being add on upon the competition date is getting nearer.

hancik (muka control) and Me (muka sembap), sori, perut tak sempat nak tarik....

Eventhough my swimming capability is at beginner's mode 'tahap lemas', I told myself that I can do this. My running had no problem so far eventhough just completed 42km in Singapore last Sunday, this will be my recovery run. The only thing is I have to train is, my swimming technique.

aik, kena candid jugak!!...tengok tu...dua org aquaman sedang memerhati amoi

I'm not good in freestyle swimming, the stroke, breathing, kicking, all had to be syncronized. I just can only make it 50metres and after that 'kaput' already.

My Kasut and Amsyah Kasut - Size 13! (US)

Beli kasut lagi besar dapat Coklat Zip dgn gatorade.

muka poyo sebelum start...ni swimming kat tempat cetek ni, kategori slow cengkerang

Kapal selam breast stroke

The best thing to make it through this biathlon is to swim breast stroke style all the way. The best form that i'm confortable with and its safe too....

ceh wah...power tu..!!

Thanks Mr Tey for the photo

We have to swim 800 metres and run 7km. The chin woo swimming pool is 50 x 25 metre. We have to swim at the 25 metre side (horizontally, vertically?) as such, we have to swim for 32 laps...huhu...!!

First met with Hancik (rusfarizal), later Amsyah and Ramlan Sulaiman came. The race for kids category starts at 7.30am. Hancik 4th wave at 8.30am, Me and Amsyah 5th Wave at 8.50am, and Ramlan much2 later wave.

Senyum ke menangis ni - Hancik dgn muka gembira beliau naik bukit

Hancik and Amsyah (the aquaman) from Atlantis swim too fast!! while i'm the last one out from the pool I guess (ah lantak la...!).

Amsyah lari mesti tengok bawah -  cari coklat Zip tadi dah hilang

I finished my swim at 26 minutes (out of 30 minutes during training..wohoo...!!), during transition, put my sock and shoes on, and off I go (not wasting much time like Ziff in his Powerman episode). The running took me about 40 minutes and I finished at  a total time of 1 hr : 06 min  - yahooo!!!

First time pakai tight lari - fuh! Bangga...

Both the aquaman from Atlantis (Hancik and Amsyah) did better than me..congratulations to them too...!!

It's a great experience! Maybe will come back next year. Freestyle....here i come!
