Finished 32 / 129 Overall gender

The pain, tears and sweat is overly exploded 3 weeks before the race day. The peak week made me like a monster, i could no longer hold on anymore. The training intensity increase, the duration increase, the stress and i have to cut down the sugar and carb. , my unfortunate illness (allergies) is coming back. I have loaded extremely much supplement since that week and with the mental strength and determination i overcome this physical condition!

The last two weeks before the race day is living in nightmare, i could not perform the best time neither in run nor swim and of course my solo bike ride! I started to ask myself why and is it because the session that i missed or physically my body is not ready? I'm living in doubt and feeling weak until it close to my tapering weak. It started to feel flushed out, not because my physical condition is in good shape, but i knew i could not do anythings better and i'll just leave it to my body!

Not to mentioned my back injury back in August, i have hurt badly from a Back squat attempting just 37.5kg at my box. ( Don't get it wrong here, i'm still believing the weight training is part of the key success) its takes exactly 3 months with intensive physiotherapy treatment
