After training, I rushed to cell group at the faculty of Engineering and caught up with the rest. Li Yan and Joanna came back from China and they brought us gifts! Hahas..I got a monkey! It is super cool, its hair changes colour based on the temperature! How cool is that!? =]
On Saturday, Valentines' day, we had training at Sentosa. I seriously did not feel like attending it but I did. I was still reeling from the effects of the last 2 days of training. After coming out of the water for the 1st set, I quickly put on my shoes and commenced the running leg. The blister on my Achilles' tendon was taped up but came out after the very 1st swim. A mixture of sand and salt assaulted the open blister and quickly send pain signals to my brain. It was freaking pain, but I had only one thing on my mind: catch the person in front. After a while, the pain seem to take a back seat as slowly got used to it.
Out of the 5 sets of transition training, I completed only 4. I thought the timings were pretty decent, though I would very much like to improve on them further =] To wrap up the training, Zhiyun introduced her Valentines' day special in which we were to pair up and swim. The second person will hold on to the first while he/she swims. I did it with Lemin and it was fun! Thankfully we were not last =x hahas..
Today, the gang met up for the usual Sunday morning bike training. We did 8 x 5km sprints down the coastal stretch. It was insane! After being off the bike for like 2 weeks, I found it hard to keep up, but I ignored the effects of lactic acid in my quadriceps and sprinted to keep up. It was osgasmic when we completed the sets! This is the kind of training to start the day! =] You will end up feeling really good about yourself for the rest of the day! Hahas..
Ending off with some quotes from chocolate wrappers:
"The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight shoes"
"The curve of a smile makes a lot of things straight"
