Tuesday - Awakening

With some mixed feeling i head to the pool.

There are quite a few things to do and just don't have the time. Maybe i am just lazy to leave everything to the last minute. Certain activities have to wait for other activity to finish first before proceeding. I wanted to skip the swim this body and follow up on my outstanding chores and give myself a piece of mind.

Make a quick detour, phew!Reach the pool about 12 mins late. At least clear something and let the nature takes it course. Was slightly relieve and when i jump into the pool.

It was the same crowd at the beginning and get more people when the time ended. Some siam here and there which is unavoided.

I wasn't feeling at ease on the swim. Maybe the mind still affected by the activities. Decide to take it easy on the swim and complete the distance. Somehow along the way was affected by the swimmer beside and start to pick up the pace.

As times goes on, the engine get warm up and i am going at a pretty good pace. Not too chuan, but enough to get myself remind myself to breath normally and control the pace.

On the last 3 laps of the 2km. HR went North again. Sigh. No choice but to slow down for the last few laps and crawl to the finish. These is twice in a row on the swim! Jia Lat.

Complete the swim in 52mins.

More activities to be carry out later the day.

The bladder seems to be over taxed when we started the run this evening in CBD. Worst is that i am late due to the bad traffic and decision made. Fortunately ST decide to fall back to run with me. We make a pitt stop at Fullerton.

We have a good chat on TNF and gossip around at the back.

Saw Slingrunner with his family. His son is adorable. :)

We did the Zuok route this evening. The run was okay, abit short though. Even though the heart tell me to skip the stair climbing, dunno why was drag into it. That Zhu Bao Bei fault!

Actually can't blame her. Although just finished TNF a few days ago, she has to keep the fitness for Trailwalker. She can't afford to slack and at the same time recovered from TNF. It is not that straight forward i could say, given that i have did similar back to back events. Like fishing, when to pull and let go...is an art....depending on situation as well.

Anyway, both of us did 2 sets of stairs climb and head back to TP. Hmm..even have time to catch up with Too Mor and Ms piggy at the first traffic light! Are we that fast? Or someone is slacking big time behind?
