just what i needed

Had a really contented week. Did most of my shopping, met up with the ex-colleagues for another sushi buffet on thurs, met the doodes for movie-night on sat and topped it off with an awesome race-day-sunday.

There was a heavy storm on saturday night and i almost decided to give the race a miss when it was still drizzling on Sunday morning.

The Battlefield

Although it wasn't the best condition for racing, i'm glad i didn't miss it in the end. The transition area was muddy, the waters were the roughest i've ever swam in and the bike leg was dangerously crowded (the kids race shouldn't have been flagged off that close to the adult races).

Surprisingly, i managed to do a sub 2:50 timing! I cramped up with 6km of running left, but managed to keep running with nothing but mental. Remembered praying alot, talking to God to distract the pain and i clearly remembered saying if God will let me finish the race without walking, i'm definitely going to church later.

And He really did.

I even got to meet a good friend during church and had a nice time catching up with her. Awesomeness.

Well, it's gonna be another awesome week. When my legs finally recover, i'm gonna hit the road with my new shuffle and new shoes!

42km, here i come!
