spent over 7 hrs at SP. less than 1 hour racing, the rest of it was simply waiting. Josh and i were expecting to get our podium places, then the lousy organisers screwed it up such that Sam Soh (zy's friend) was announced first with a timing of 48+mins. Josh had done a 43 plus and myself a 45 to 46. so in truth it should have been josh 1st, myself 2nd, then sam 3rd.
dun get me wrong, im not trying to kick up a big hoohah here, but this was one of the few times that i could actually be on the podium, and the SP people messed it up for me. thanks a lot man. (NOT!)
anyway, onto the race itself, josh did fantastic on the swim, sticking with me the whole way. i came out of the water seconds before him, both of us went into T1 together, ran out together, before josh as usual killed me with his run. halfway through the run my legs simply wouldnt fire. wait, acutally throughout the whole race i wanted to push harder but i just couldnt. haiz. sian. but o well.
the girls did fantastic as well. 1st - zy, 2nd - mich, 3rd - chermaine, 5th - lala!
norman and JJ were second for the relay as well.
teamNUS came back trophy laden!
i thank God for me in being able to complete the race nonetheless. what i have is a gift that i am thankful for. whether i finish on the podium or i walk to the finish line, i am grateful for what God has blessed me with, the love for triathlons.
the company for the rest of the day was great. really thankful for the friends i have. some came down to see us even though they werent racing. i believe we really have something going on here in the team. and it's called family =D
