Another Dawn

Woke up at 6am this morning, early than the alarm. I guess body clock have still not adjusted to the layback atmosphere here. :(

Suppose to cycle to the jetty, do a swim, cycle back. Alas someone weak mind! Citing raining! The floor is wet, but there is no rain! Not until 4 hours later when I spotted rain!
Not everyone is like tigger! Just have to go with the flow of nature don't I?

The weather is pretty cold this morning. I guess is low 20 degrees. There is wind as well which make it more challenging. Tried some rounds on bike in the camp compound. It is freezing cold! Damn it! Have to slow down on the bike as it is too cold for me.

We have breakfast first. Thanks to George for his "egg in the whole", I have a good tasty breakfast. Do not know why I am still hungry after the meal! It seems that I am constantly hungry! Growing Tigger? Hehe!

Took a short nap as the rest just nuan and chitchat around.

Finally bike out at 10am. It was cruising to the jetty. Try out the aerobar, realise that the left bar was loose. It was cold until body is warmed up. No sweat as humidity is low. Need to be careful about hydration!

Stopped at the bike and campus corner to look around before heading over to jetty. The water was very rough compare to yesterday calm water. It look like desaru water this morning with lots of wind! So different compare to yesterday!

Hop across to race expo to take a peek since we are there. The WOW factor for Ironman logo is strong. Many stuffs are printed with IM logo. I guess next time won't have the effect! If there is a next time! Didn't get myself anything as I will be back later.

Head back to the campus. It was a difficult cycle back in strong headwind. Even aero position didn't help much. Looking at the bright side, it give me an insight on what is install come Sunday. I have to change my tops to NYC long sleeve on bike leg as it is going to be a cold, windy and hot.

It started a flash rain the moment we step into our room. Heng!

Head out with everyone for registration. As usual the sequence proceed. Head over to expo and grab myself a top/bottom/timing belt. I have tried, but still succumb to it.:p

It was mid afternoon when we have a light lunch(pie). I feel pretty bad with the supporters to have make do with the participants schedule. They have to take late meals consistently and didn't have much vacation here. In fact until today everything is centered around IM and we have not went out for a real vacation yet! Unless you mean visiting a new town center, walking around looking for food!

Attended the participant parade around 4:45pm. It was a small scale event, very simple and refreshing! I enjoy the mingling with other athletes. As expected a large Singapore contingent gathered at the parade. We walked to the carbo loading tent that is a few hundreds meters away. Have to wait for about 15mins before we are let into the tent.

Nothing spectacular about makan. Did have a little too much. Hehe. What to do tigger constantly hungry!

Head back to campus after that. A raining evening followed. Cozy night!

2 more days to GO!
