Few words...

Yesterday I went to the pool and did 1,500 m (WU 500m, Drills 800m and paddles/CD 600m). I did a quick 15 min jog afterwards.

Yesterday was my b-day. I am fortunate and grateful to have many friends and love ones to celebrate with me. A surprise party was held for me a few weeks ago. It was great.

I am now sitting here with my laptop trying to describe the past few years. It has been quite an experience. For my actual birthday I didn't do anything special. I enjoy being healthy and being happy. I enjoy the challenge from triathlon.

You know what I mean. Going for a relaxing bike ride. Enjoy the nature and the quietness of life. Away from the busy-ness of life and be calm with oneself. The training, the fun, the laughter along the way.

Since 2005, every b-day weekend, I would go for a long ride. There will be an exception this year. A father from my church passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago. There are times for celebration and a time to grieve. This Sat, will be on the latter.

....have fun and keep doing what you do...here is youtube video of my surprise b-day party..

Happy belated Birthday! I couldn't tell how many candles were on that cake but I'm sure it's only about half as many as that would be on mine :-)
