Pictures from my triathlon in Bintan

Relaxing in a cafe hours before the race.

Posing for the camera before my swim.

Transition 1: After the swim, on to the cycling. I'm the one circled in green!

Going out for my bike leg.

Lap 1 of my 10km run.

Lap 2 of my 10km run, let's play with sponges!

When it's all over, time to catch a breath..

Exiting the transition area after the race.

Victory! Completed the race. =]

Lastly, thanks for your support! =]

Bintan conquered!!!

Whoah! Finally, I've completed my 1st ever triathlon..Well, the Bintan Triathlon was a very good experience, and I'm looking forward to Singapore's OSIM Triathlon in July. While in Bintan, I made many friends there who are experienced in the field of triathlon, and I've learnt loads from the talk we had and the pointers they so freely gave when they heard that I was participating for the 1st time. =]

Well, for the statistics, I shaved off a whooping 10mins from my previous open-sea swim in March this year at the Singapore Biathon. I did 38mins for the swim leg. For the bike leg, I took 1hr 27mins. Lastly, for my run, I took 58mins, which was insanely lousy. Well, that's where I have to improve on for the next event! =]
Overall, my virgin triathlon timing is 3hrs 6mins.

It was really by God's grace that I even managed to complete the event. =] Was thinking that the injury to my left ribs will hinder me in the running leg, because a few days before the event, there was swelling in the region. However, it subsided radically just 2 days before Bintan, praise be to Him that it was ok.

Ok, that's all for now, will upload the pictures when I get hold of the camera. =]

Humbled

I'm truly humbled by the way the Lord blesses me..All praise be to God that I've been successful in my application to Medicine in NUS! =] This is indeed nothing short of amazing. Thank You Father! Your grace continue to cover me as I finish up the final administrative work.

You go before me, You shield my way..

Hello people! I'm back! More updates.. =] This past week has been one filled with many ups and downs! Well, I will focus only on the good ones and give thanks for them. Earlier this week, I've beaten my personal best in the pool and clocked 32mins 17s! Praise the Lord man, I can really see loads of improvement, but I will have to work on my running soon, it's really in the doldrums! =] Second, I wish to give thanks for my interview for medicine admission on Saturday. All praise be to the Lord, I was asked mainly about my army life and about myself. Now, all has been said and done, the waiting begins. I will now place all my prayers and desires into His hands. Yay!
