Desaru Triathlon 2008 - 3 Toos
As much as i would love to go back to Desaru and complete another HIM. This time round, i am physically not capable of doing it.
2km swim, 90km bike, 21km run. It wasn't that difficult on my last 2 completion of such distance. This time round, decide to split out the work between the 3 toos - tao, ccf and xz.
Anyway, i have decide to bring the too for a exposure to IM environment. Desaru is the perfect race - economy and nearby. Just a weekend affair.
Date: 16 August 08
Time: 10am
Distance: 2km/90km/21km
Venue: Desaru(Golden Beach Resort)
Water is equally strong as last year. Nothing much to be alarm on. I was a bit complacence and take it easy and didn't do a good analysis of the route/strategy. I was swimming out of straight line and spend some time getting back on course. First loop is 26mins+.
2nd loop is much efficient. I swim conservatively, drink a few mouthful of water and take another 26mins to complete. I saw an Indian participant keep pulling the rope and pushing himself forward. This is very bad!
Out of the water, i start to run, follow by chiong till the transition area, passing the ribbon to Tao for her bike leg. Swim Time: 53mins
Check my HR, seem decent. Rest a few minutes and it shot up! KNS!
Decide to take a few cup of Ice-Milo and head back to the room, wash up and rest and eventually doze off.
Woke up and head to the transition to cheer those on the road with the rest of the gang. Weather was hot.
Tao came back 3:40hr(estimate)for the bike portion. CCF took over the ribbon and off he went off chasing after Burz.
We have a bet against Burnz. CCF overtook him 3km down the road. Hehe.
It start to drizzle and rains came. It is good blessing for CCF. He completed the run just under 2hrs. Cool.
Total time: 6:36hr.
Everyone did well to complete. Everyone complete the distance without any major hipcuo. CBJ did super well with his "ironhorse"! This crazy boy!
Cool. I hope everyone brought back with them a valuable experience.
