DNF

I was awaked by the sudden downpour at 4am. First thing that strike me is, horsay leow, no swim later.

After a while, the reality sinks in. Why am I having such negative thoughts! Am I so not looking forward to the swim later?

It was drizzling most of the time and at times pretty heavy as I make my way to the pool.

This particular morning, the feeling sucks! Maybe I put too much expectation on myself and the whole idea of training is fun/leisure has lost it meaning. Accordingly to training, I am suppose to do 3.5km and I secretly hope that when I reach there, I will push on to 4km. The feeling is like taking part in IPPT. The sian kind of feeling, LL loh just have to do it. I hate this kind of feeling, I just don’t like it.

The water is warm as expected. Rain at early morning, will not have much effect in the pool. I started off feeling out of syn and heavy. It took a while, after getting myself calm down, things get back to the groove.

It started to drizzle and it is actually pretty cool to swim at certain portion of the pool. Light wind and cool water hitting on the arms are Therapeutic.

As the body get warm up, the rain come in heavier. Soon enough, lightning flashes across the sky, damn it this is not good sigh. Finger crossed….but not for long, a few more flashes later, the final whistle have blown! Sigh. I have to stop my swim at 1.8km. Damn it!

It wasn’t a super slow swim, 48mins for 1.8km. Don’t know if it is blessing in disguise or just fate that do not allow me to clock the mileage.

I hate DNF of any kind, may it because of technical issue, act of GOD etc! Just like Osim tri and the recent Triladies event. What to do? Sigh….

Thought about going for a swim during noon time. After this morning stoppage, abit frustrated. Was joi by colleague to visit another colleague in NUH. Decide to go with colleague instead. Have a good lunch at Dover market...Yummy!

It was a slow and wet drive to Suntec this evening. SPIN class was slacking for me. I don't feel that fresh and didn't really pushing up the intensity.

After 10mins in the class, the floor is WET, at the end of the class......don't need to say....haha. Complete a 2km run after that.

Nice and cold day. Wasn't a great day for workout. Alas, ust one of those day ba. Gotta Run.
