2013 Aquathon series - Race 1 (400m swim+3.8km run)

Haven't been race this only pool Aquathon race for 2 years i guess, happy to back to this lovely Kowloon Tsai Park and picking up my old days memory when i'm a newbie back to 2004! The beginner spirit is on, I'm nervous when we are arranged to be seated in line according to our race number and line up at the pool which boost my endorphin higher!

Gun starts, every girls is fighting in their own lane, i can sighted most of us gone in the same speed at about 15m in the splash of water,  water is still chilling and i always told myself to clam down, maintain the pace and breathing! when i first do my 50m turn, i started to feel somethings not right as i cannot see clearly on my right eye due to the goggle is borrow from Charlie. (So bad of me i forgot to bring my own!) And i really want to quit! Given the spectators is all seated at the platform and everyone is cheers for the competitors, i don't want to look bad to crawl from the pool and have a DNF! Just slowed down my pace and sucked in this 400m pool swim. Come up from the water the first 3, ran into my transition and pull everything into myself. 

The race belt and the pin doesn't help me, one of the pin is fall and the other was not closed. My bib fall off at the first 100m run, the race marshall scream at me and i have to run back and picked it up. Theres no time to think about how to do with this bib number, i just push into the top of my swimsuit and ran as fast as i could. I have hope on my run, and i have giving all out at the last lap! There's really have no room for you to think about how to split your pace at the beginning or the run strategy, you should run as good as you could! and i did it, no left behind! Feeling great to cross the FINISH LINE at a total time of 29mins. 17 sec.

Surprise how my run can do and i cam the champion of female 30-34 despite the top ladies is not in the race today! But i'm happy with my finish time! Now more speed work for me for the next race!

Standard Charter Marathon 2013 - My first SCM half marathon

Loving the spirit and the feel of being part of the HK biggest running event:) Love Hong Kong!
Haven't been race for just a running race for long time. Despite the off season and the Chinese new year, i didn't train consistence as i scheduled myself. On the Wed. sess i told Evan what if our running time is slower than the run time we did at the half Ironman race. That will be in shame!
I try to push myself on a hard interval on Wed. and see how i could do. Feeling is great and fresh!

Could ran a better result if i can train more regularly and more consistence but i would have no friends and family:) lol! My finish net time is 1 hours 50mins. 2 sec. alot s better than i expected! I can now take out my best record i set in 2008! Thank Ah On to warm up with me and the tips of the road condition! Thanks Kenneth yip my coach still pushing me the time that i don't believe and the correction of my running form recently!

Official Result: Top 23 at my Challenge Female Senior group

有規律的生活

我們習慣了放逸, 想做什麽便去做. 但到我這種年紀, 便開始發現, 有規律的生活才令人快樂! 沒有該做不該做的事, 只是時間分配的問題. 一切在於平𧗾......

I search for balance in my mind, the more i go deeper the more i realize a disciplinary life. I live, i work, i eat, i play, i workout with a discipline. All is about the matter of how you arrange your time to live your lives the most and became efficient. 

Great to know DPR

Love to kick start my 2013 with a sunshine and a bit of challenging way by finished King Of the Hills at Sham Tseng, a 23km trail running race at the beautiful country side:)

Me at the last decent (610 steps in rough) 

Love this type of weather plus the condition for run! Not leisure though!
