I have been overseas for many months now, and because of this, I have missed out on many races that I would love to take part. Singapore Biathlon (I have been doing this for 5 yrs, and this will be my 6th, if I am back in Singapore), OSIM International Triathlon (why must they shift it to the week I am suppose to fly back home... no time to train :-[), and of course Aviva 70.3 (this would be my first... aiyah)
Now I am looking forward to mostly Malaysia races. Port Dickson and Putrajaya 70.3 in July, Desaru Long Distance in October, and hopefully the inaugural Ironman 70.3 Asia Pacific Championship, Phuket, Thailand in December.
Training while overseas have not been too bad. There is a great gym here (don't expect it to be like California Fitness or one of those nice gym in Singapore). Well, I am 1300+meters high surrounded by desert, what do one expect. At lease we can do runs, and spinning on stationary bike. Also did weight trainings and also brick training in betweens. But sadly, cannot do any swim training here. I will need to catch up on this when I get back home.
Looking forward to go home, see my beutiful and loving wife and kids, start some serious training (including swimming... ha ha ha) and take part in races. First one to warm myself up and to relieve the "Gianness" in doing Triathlon will be the Singapore Sprint Triathlon by Tribob. Will give the Bintan Triathlon a miss as it is getting more expensive.
Hopefully my aspiration and dream of being an Ironman, even Half IM this year, will be fulfilled.
