Panther spotting

It was a cool morning. water was a bit chill, which is always welcome in the morning.

From the start, it is 100 meter breast and 100 meter freestyle circuit. Did 10 of these. Not really tough, since i have did similar distance over the last swim. So decide to go for it again to put induce another dose of confidence.

After that a 50 meter breast follow by 3 lap of freestyle for another 2 sets. Just need to get back the rhythm of the past and let see if i can move further than that. Another good 100 meters of breast stroke to call it a day.

2.5km in 65mins. Decent timing. Not as tough as last week, maybe mentality have crossed the edge. Cool.

Was talking to B over the past few days...wonder how did the fellow manage to reduce about 30mins in IM's swim. Coach say must do 3 sets of swim, 3 set of bike and 3 set of run in a week to prepare for IM. Hmm......Each swim is 3.5km! *FAINT*! Ok, i won't faint...i see if i can upgrade to 3km first...3.5km is not say impossible, just that don't have the time as i need to rush back to work.

Ok...Panther Pending....

It threaten to rains. It had a few drops at 7pm. Chase them off to MF, before the unthinkable will happen. There is only weak mind ok!

We waited for a single late comer....for 10mins! Gosh!

The run is as usual not comfortable. Not that i am going fast, just not comfortable with running. Sigh...

It take some effort, but i make it to the top of MF. Without taking a break, did 1 small loop after jio by epalite. My right knee start to show sign of sng...this is no good. The knee has been on/off showing signs over the past few weeks. So i am aware and in constant monitoring the progress. So only 1 loop this evening.

Have a jog and walk and chit chat with ST all the way back to TP. A nice return run.

Maybe it is time for a rest.
