Splash and Dash Race 1 @ Repluse Bay

Challenge Distance: (500m Swim+5km Run+500m swim)
Welcome back the Splash and Dash race back in 2012 May! I arrived a bit late and once i have put in mys tuff in teh transition area not so long, the race begin!

Hot, Toste is what we all expected at the starts! I was not feeling quite well and i still wish to go! Run on the beach to swim and again, i swim away with peoples to avoid flighting abd after 250m i know i'm on my pace. Come up from water around 10 min. somethings.

Pick up my visor, and put on my socks and shoes. Yes, is socks for such short killing race. i knew is totally stupid to put socks on to loose so much second but i insist as i have long road to run to keep my feet in good condition for the coming 6 months hard training. and bang and go!

Two ladies ahead of me with a bit hard pace faster than me, i try to tag on with them and see how long i can. The breathing is not what i want at the begining and the storm i can see is coming over from the middle island towards us. And after a minute, the pouring rain, storm, thunder and lighting all happened and we are happy to running in the rain. After the 2.5 km, i can feel i'm picking up the pace and past the ladies in front of me and keeping myself at a modest pace. And not so long i see the beach where the FINISH line just there and I cross the line together with Lissie:)

Nice to see Janice racing with her Dad, so much courages!
Well done all girls and Sonic:)
By completing the last Olympic distance Tri and Aquathlon race yesterday, i feel myself where i am now and i feel that my competition mode is coming back for flighting the up and coming races! Lets pushes ourself and sucked in! I knew it will be pain, will be in the dark, will be hopeless, will be lonely! But by not far, i see the glory moment with my determination and commitment to myself.
