What is pain? Pain is something that can numb you from the reality of life. Keep you focus on something else other than your worries and sadness. Pain distracts you, keeps you from thinking about what always pops into your mind. Pain is something that I see “House” uses to numb himself to enable him to be able to be the doctor that he is. Maybe pain is what I need, and that is why I am pushing myself physically. Feeling the ache of my body after running does distract me, maybe that is what I want, what I need.

Today went for my first sprint duathlon, 3km run, 15km bike, 3km run. Was quite an experience as it is my first time doing 2 sports in the same event. The run was nice, just a few slopes here and there, running within the Seletar Reservoir Area. The bike portion was a little tough, cause the slopes of Mandai is “up then down then up again”. But got quite used to the slopes when I ride in Clementi Road Area. The same kind of terrain. During the transition from the bike to the run, had a slight cramp on my right leg, good thing I could still continue to run, but at a rather slow pace. Quite happy that I finish this, think I should start training my swimming so that I can do a Triathlon.

Well that’s the end of my first Duathlon. More to come. HAHA.

Been emo for quite sometime already. But getting better each day, with the support of my friends. Like the title, New Day, New Hope.

Well, I have decide to have a new goal in my life. Something that I might not be able to achieve, but it would be something that would challenge me for quite sometime. The goal is to be able to compete in an Ironman distance triathlon. (2.4-mile[3.9km] swim, 112-mile[180km] bike, 26.2-mile[42.2km] run)
Because Life is an Ironman triathlon. And also when you finish you get to brag for the rest of your life. “Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life”

And I believe this long term goal would keep me occupied for quite sometime.
