the day started slowly. i was sleepy and generally felt lazy. met up with josh and desmond and elston at NYP. i didnt feel like doing too long a warm up, so it was quite chillax all the way and just chatting around with people like jonathan perreira and sham.
the swim was done in quite a funny manner. as long as there was a free lane, they would get people to start swimming. so there were no wave starts, but just a as-and-when-you're-ready kind of thing.
started the swim slightly slower, before picking up the pace after 150m. josh was in the lane next to mine, and he was swimming quite well. came out of the water at about 6:01, (josh at 6:06) did a quick transition, and ran off. josh was right behind me and we went to attack the run route at a blitzing quick pace. it was a 2 loop run with 2 small up slopes and 1 big down slope.
josh overtook me after the up slopes, but it wasnt gonna opening up, so i maintained just behind him. at the downslope where we were beginning the 2nd loop, josh hit this girl who were trying to isue us the bands to mark that we have run 1 loop already. i overtook back and just kept going. by then i was panting like nobody business. i just told myself that its only 4k, almost same as 1 loop around simei.
i just kept going and going and finally finished at the track. for the first time i managed to match josh on the run! he came in just seconds behind. turned out he was feeling some pain in the leg due to his crash last time, so that was the reason he slowed a bit. but well done!
the results came out and i was first! josh second and devanthas third! shioks!
the prizes were amazing. i couldnt believe my ears when i heard them. as my FB status says: I finally made a profit from racing!
