-------

Life gets in the way and my swim suffered. Last Sat when I did the 3 hr bike ride, I was feeling negative. Infinit wasn't working with me. Even in Zone 1, my stomach is nauseous. By two hour and a half, I had enough. I took my coach advice and alternate between solid food (Clif bar) for an hour and Infinit for another. Solid food works fine for me. In fact, I got quite hungry when I start eating.

Instead of going for 4 hours as I planned, I bailed and did 3 hr as my coach scheduled.

On Sun I did the Half Chili Marathon with Anners. She actually paid for me. In return, I pace her. I am glad I went.

Just changes in my life and my head hadn't been focus on training. This season, my long run never last more than 2 hours. My coach schedule me to do 1 hr 40 min max. So I guess I am being 'lazy' by following my coach's plan. Last seasons, my long run stretches to 2 hr 30 min.

Before the race, I stood there rembering....

I remember my cousin and my aunt coming to watch me do Toronto tri.

I remember meeting Darren for the first time and him showing me around Orangeville (hilly).

I remember running and cycling further than I ever dream of.

I remember my friends seeing me finish at The Canadian Half Ironman.

I remember the pre-race jitters.

.....ok i am done now. I am going to go train. This Sat night I am flying back to Hong Kong. Before then I want to put in a few more hours of training.
