Bought a tri-specific bike in the Sept hols after looking and hunting for several weeks. The bike will serve my purpose to prevent fatigue after cycling to the running phase. Been trying to get used to it. Still wobbly, as the riding position a bit different.
I like the colour, though... Ferrari red!!. Will it help me in my triathlon races? Well, I really hope so, so let's wait and see

Went for the event on 14 June. My fitness is still not top peak yet. Although at times I can pull in 38-40km/h, my average speed was only about 30km/h!. Finished the event slightly more than 2 hours... Slow sia...
This means I need to train hard if I still want to do Aviva Ironman 70.3 next year. Its in March 2009, so not much time to train.
Started full swing in swimming, doing once a week, 40-50 laps (2 to 2.5km) per session. Its the running that's pulling me back. Did 10km run in 80+ minutes!! super slow. Will most prob go back to the gym for threadmill work. Hope to get back speed of at least 10km in 1 hour! Which will probably translate to 5 hours for the marathon (law of diminishing returns?)
My personal training schedule so far:
Sunday: 10-15km run
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: rest
Tuesday: 8-12 km run
Thursday: 40-50 laps swim
Saturday: 90-100km bike
Would love to train everyday, but its quite impossible, given the school schedule and work.
