My first triathlon for 2009, after my operation!! We drove into Malaysia on 11 July in a convoy of 7 cars! And boy, was it eventful. After the causeway, at the Shell station, one of my friends got into an accident!! As he was driving pass a car, the car's door opened!! And banged straight into my friend's car! Luckily, the damage to his car was minor and he could still carry on the journey to PD.

We went for the famous roadside "ko lo mee", and then proceeded to PD. The girls were tired after having to wake up soooo early on a Saturday!

Port Dickson was welcoming to my 2 girls, and one of the first things they did was to go for a swim in the pool! After all, they have been looking forward to the pool all day long.

I had a shock when I found that my registration has not been accepted!! I had to wait till about 6pm when they put me into another category. I am racing after all!!

Race day! As this will be my first race after a long time, feelings of anxiety abound. But, I have raced in PD before, and that happy thought at least calmed me down. Well, to cut the long story short, I finished the race. Not in record time, cos my run is still slow, as I am not up to speed yet. My swim was almost back to normal, bike was a bit faster, but run was a dismal 8min/km!!. But, I finished. And that's important to me.

Next race? OSIM International Triathlon. And this time, my 2 girls will be racing too!
