I Don't Need A Girlfriend

Love is a tricky thing. I've had several relationships since i was 16, some good, some not so good. I still believe in love, and i do know what perfect love is. Unfortunately, i've got just enough love for a couple of important things in my life right now, and loving another human being in a romantic way just does not seem to cut it for me.

(Easy for me to say all that when nobody's interested in me, huh?)

Yes, whatever. No girl will want to fall in love with me right? I'm too obsessed with triathlons to even care about girls anyway. (cue: sour grape)

Unless she's into triathlons? Yummy.

On a seperate note, training has been good this week. After recovering from the flu, i've swam 3km, cycled 21km and ran 22km in total, over the last three days. I'm more cautious now as i'm starting to see how diet plays a more important role as training gets tougher. I'm pushing my body more but eating less. That has caused some giddy spells at work. Last thing i want is to fall sick again.

I also need to manage my expectations as i don't want to risk injuries while i'm trying to achieve some unrealistic goal. Like i've said before, i want to achieve my physical best, although i may not swim, cycle or run faster than most others, the only person i'm competing against is me, myself and i.

I thank God for keeping me safe and healthy; that blessing comes from the Lord and the Lord alone. Even the fittest of athletes can just drop and die. I can train this body to be fitter, but i believe 'health' comes only from God.

And it's time i also matured in my thinking that i got to be a man and face my weaknesses. Cycling is my weakest leg of the race, and its training is also the most time-consuming. I got to face it and double up training on the bike.

Let's ride.
