I made a decision today. I've registered to participate in this year Singapore Biathlon competition. To many others, this is a simple decision which doesn't required much consideration and much thinking but why am I taking so long to decide?
Well, it's not easy to convince myself to accept this challenge at the start of this brand new year 2008. I've got a very bad experience back in year 2006 where I fell sick (real sick) at the very last couple of days before the competition. To see all my hardwork wasted was never a satisifying feeling. It was aweful.
The competition will be held much earlier (this year) than previous years. That means my preparation time will be much much shorter this time round. I will be expecting myself to challenge the pool (swim trial) within these 2 weeks. Only if I pass the swimming trial, then I will be allowed to join in the actual competition on 1 March, at East Coast.
My personal training started few hours ago. I was away from the pool since year 2006, still managed to clock approximately 20mins for a half the required passing swim laps. Not really a very good sign but keep my fingers crossed, just keep training. Tomorrow will be a longer swim.
