it all started in august
it was a race of little consequence, that i just wanted to do for fun, and see how things went. then i came back from the desaru long d tri in 4:55.
"wow, doing a sub-5 half ironman is well, doable... hm............."
about half a year later, i now get the chance to see whether this thought can become a reality at the aviva ironman triathlon 70.3 singapore. i started training in december after i decided to skip the singapore marathon and just focus on the season in march this year.
everything is in place. well, almost everything. the shin splints from last year is still there, and i have not been able to train my run much. instead of being able to be all rounded in all 3 disciplines, i now have to take a gamble by going hard on the first 2 legs and hang on for the last 21km.
and instead of having my own set of reynolds race wheels i had to borrow a pair due to financial restrictions. o well, thanks dex for the dura ace c50s!
tomorrow will see whether the dream that started from a thought 7 months ago will become a reality.
but whatever happens, i will give thanks to the Lord for the blessing He has given me, and i race as a form of worship by giving it my best to not waste the passion and ability He has given me.
Amen
