Pro Camp Day 1

Wake up at 0545 in the early morning. I have booked a Maxi cab and they pick me up at 0615, they arrived in the right time, very punctual. http://www.limousinecab.com/singapore/space-taxi/
The Female only track session should be start at 0700 at Kallang Outdoor Track, i arrived there with by bike in pouring rain, thunderstorm and heavy lighting! I saw the guys is already running their program with no lights in the track, 0700 is still very dark.

Their toughen minds wake me up, the first girl i met is Sarah and Karen, they both come from Hong Kong Lantau. All the girls have been chatted awhile to wait the rain to stop. But it doesn't look like it will. The super star Belinda arrive with Nicole, we have been introduce awhile and we have to get wet now.

Track is good as recommended by Belinda, you can know how far you can push with the time and distance more scientifically. We start together with 5 laps warm up.
2 Set non-stop (200m Fast + 200m recovery) x 5 laps+800m at the fast tempo race + 400m recovery

I done my best, running all out in the pouring rain. At last, i feel really empty and no fuel at all as i didn't take any breakfast. I use to go for a long run without breakfast in the morning but not for the speed work, Lesson learn :)

Then i follow the Trudy and Tanya, ride over to the east coast Coffee Bean via Kallang, Fort Road and park. I really enjoy this ride, the time is around 0900, not too much traffic and my first time to ride in the city of Singapore. Very misty as the rain is over, the air is fresh and calm at the east coast. Enjoying it.

Breakfast at Coffee Bean in the park. With my hot tea and full breakfast, i feel better now. Nice chat with the girls together. 2km walk to Costa Del Sol in Bayshore Road and ready for the swim session.

300m warm up (250m
