Sick To The Max

What rotten timing - Got sick the past week and a half... and with race day next week, i'm really gonna race on a miracle.

Only clocked 3 runs of a total of 32km, 1 swim of 2.5km this week. No bike. Best part is...even with a throat and nose full of phlegm, i'm still indulging in junk food and late nights...

I'm way beyond panic now - just gonna wing it next Sunday. Oh man oh man...

Panic Attack...

I'm having a panic attack. It's effectively one more week to race day (taking taper period into consideration) and i haven't been on my bike since...last year's race.


Physically, i was prepared to wing it - longer runs and swims should improve my overall stamina. Yes, agreed - but when i was going through the race route in my mind, i realised i could be really rusty in handling my bike now. Especially the steep upward turn 50m in front of the Bike Out.







I've seen people crashing at that turn. I personally think it's the dumbest idea to have a sharp turn so close to the transition area and where earlier waves of bikers are coming in hard and fast from a long (overtaking) lap. Stupid.


But excuses aside, i should have, could have done more to train. Oh well.. as race day approaches, physical training always tapers down, while mental preparation ramps up.


Whether i've done enough, it's too late to debate that now. I'll just trust in whatever i've done and use whatever i've got to swim/bike/run an injury-free, fun and fulfilling race come Sunday after next.


So help me, God. :)

3 more weeks

Not sure if there's anything much to do...with only 3 weeks left. Must keep my focus, be in good emotional and mental form.

I must not let anything distract me. Not now.
