ironman

i was up in langkawi for the ironman event. i felt so inspired. the people were great the supporters were even greater. i feel like without the great support, it would make the entire race even more difficult. 

and this day, i have a dream. i have a dream that one day i will race ironman. my dad, my sister, my cousins, my closest friends, my boyfriend would come and cheer for me and support me. They would be at the finishing line, waiting for me to cross that line, to hear that epic line 'you are an ironman'. 

the event was great and the experience was great. i stood under the sun, cheering for them. eventhough i did not know them. it was amazing. 

and you know me, once i decide something, i'm kind of full speed ahead. i just signed up for the power bar duathlon in november. although i merely signed up for the sprint duathlon. this means it will be a 5km run followed by a 30km bike then a 5km run again. but i have to bear in mind that the day before, i have a 21km obstacle viper challenge. hence why i did not go for the full duathlon. i am still on the fence as to whether i should join the nusajaya traithlon on the 30th of november. yes no maybe? i will definitely need alot of training. my bike and swim is nowhere near average and my running fitness has gone down so much lately. 

this weekend, i am planning to get a bike. and thus begins my training. probably some time during the week i am going to try a 2.5km run followed by a 15km bike and finishing it with a 2.5km run. i need a plan. 

my standard chartered marathon is in a mere 10 days and i am SUPER not ready! 

so today is already thursday and i won't be doing much today because i'm working till 1am. so i am coming up with a rough training plan for next week.
