I had just collected my bike from servicing. When i was at the shop, my technician said i am the 4th person of the day to collect his bike and going straight to PD. I heard there will be in excess of 1,500 participants for this year's edition and four of them came from my housing area. Woohoo... tak sangka mat2 kat cheras nih ader group triathlete gak.
Anyway, at the time of writing, i have packed up my racing gears - goggles, swim cap, shortie, cyling jersey, helmet, running shoes, socks, cap, Powerbar, Powergel etc. Hopefully, i have not forgotten and left anything behind.
Everything is in order. I hope my performance will be in order too.
I have never swam in an open sea before. Let alone a 1.5km distance. Goshhhh. There will be some anxiety when i enter the water tomoro. I hope i will be able to cope with the euphoria and the funfare at the much touted competition.
Weather forecast says that there will be some light drizzle in the early part of the morning and sunshine throughout the day. I am expecting a sun-baking condition coming to the running leg of the competition.
Mentally, i am stable now. Pyschoing myself for the event. Drumming my head with motivational mantras once used by legends like Muhammad Ali, Lance Amstrong even Rocky Balboa.
Physically, no injury. resting. recuperating. Im giving my muscles the much needed rest before the grand battle tomoro.
I have no specific target for tomoro except to complete the race once again.
I need to prove to myself that A'famosa was not a one-time wonder. I am will fight the demon in me and prove that A'famosa was not a fluke.
I hope i can beat myself tomoro. Wish me luck.

As a diver you will NEVER catch me swimming in the open sea like that. This tells me that one can just do anything when he puts his heart and soul to it.
Excellent job! Gua SUSPECT lu bro..
