TRIBOB SPRINT TRIATHLON! HERE WE COME!!!

I DID IT! WE DID IT!!

We each had a Pong Pong Girl! Nope, no Peek-a-Boo-mini-cheerleader-skirt, nor skimpy toga halter neck top! But Sweet Starry did brought some plastic "clappers" to my house the night before and was asking me if she should bring them for today's Pong Pong Girl involvement! So Sweet! Hahhahah! Of course i stopped her! I am not supa Iron Woman lah! Just aiming to complete stronger than last July during my "Virgin" sprint triathlon at the OSIM event!

The fabulous gang includes Pong Pong girls - Milo, Z n Stella!
The Siao-onz musketeers include - Sheila, Clarissa n Me!

So Stella stayed over at my place the night before, Sheila n Z were nicest to come fetch us in the morning at 6.30am this morning! Psst! Cutie Starry was so paranoid that she dont have enough time to prepare in the morning that she couldnt really sleep well! & Oh, every1 noticed that she put on Make up! Wuahahah! Silly Girl, you dun have to look even prettier than you already do to me!

It was pouring like crazy this wee morning! I was thinking to myself, the last training we had paid off! We trained in a Thunder stormy weather!! Wuahah! Luckily it stopped when Sheila n Z came!

Loaded the bike & Off we go to the race site at Changi Coastal Road!

RV-ed Clarissa n Milo there and prepared for the event!

1st: Set up Transition Place!
After we 摆阵 (arrange our territorial positioning).

My Bike Set Up!

My Trusty Orbea Dama, New Balance Shoes
& my Lucky Tortise&Hare Green Matching Sock!




See Sheila getting all ready!
*Psst! Her Pooh Bear is going on an Adventure!



Princess Clarissa getting all Perked up!

2nd: Body Making! I am known as 595!!!
I rejected the offer of a Handwritten Numbering by the volunteers! So Sorry! They looked very dejected when they beckon me over but I told them I will wait for the Number Stamp body makers instead! My 1st experience with Handwritten ones, a very ugly set of 4 handwritten number tanline for 2 weeks!!! Argh!!! No way!

See! I am Number 595!

We are Ready to go!
From Left: Z, Sheila, Milo, Clarissa, Me n Stella

3rd: Be nervous and wander around aimlessly!

Wuahaha! False symptoms of urgency to pee pee n poo poo came! I am pretty sure it’s gotta do with the butterflies in our tummy!

I love this shot! Niceee!

Stretching Warm up!

4th: Decided to warm up to the sea water!
I concluded that the water here is saltier than East Coast Park’s, but Sheila and Clarrisa confirmed that Sentosa’s is the saltiest of them all!! Hahhahah!
The seawater feels good! Under current seems mild, we were all feeling good!

5th: Waved off for the 1st 2 Men’s event! The sequence of waving off is 2 men, 1 women and last men. So all the women will be racing together! It will give u a good gauge of where we stand during the race! We were all getting nervous!

While waiting for our event...

We are ready to go...

Butterflies in our tummy!

Are they discussing some

Strategy?! Kekek!

Flagging off soon....

1: Our Race began!! Swim 750m in a triangle formation! 250m then a left angle turn!
Wau! I kena kicked a lot, one froggy kick was esp strong and hard that it kicked my sports bra all the way down! I quickly pull it back on lah!!! *FAINT!* Oh, & I drank more than 3 full mouthful of seawater! OMG! I din get to really put to use my swimming practice, it was just a big mess! All the way till the last 250m when the stronger ones pulled away! I can sense that they were not many pple left swimming with me & I used more of my leg strength to increase my speed!

Off we go!!!

2: Run to Transition Point! Shagged lah! It’s bloody far!!!
It’s no joke to run in a 2-pieces suit (sports bra n tights) under the view of so many spectators! & the bloody distance! Plus have to try to look not shag! Hahah! Vain pot me still posed for pics nevertheless! Wuahah! Changed and run out with the bike! Argh! Uneven grounds!

After me swim... shagged

but still must pose!

Wuahah!

That's me setting off with my bike liao!

Stella said I was too quick,

they were not prepared to snap photos!

3: Mount the bike! 20km to go!
& Where the hell is my Speedo Meter?!!! I was feeling very shagged liao! & When I cycled off and wana know the speed to maintain, I dun my my F**king speedometer?! I immediately followed the closest lady (whom I deemed should be quite fit judging from the size of the buttocks – avid cyclists have very firm n Perky butts)! Please dun ask me how on earth I can managed to remain analytical when I am so shagged, it was just survival instinct!
As I was cycling, I had the time to analyze what happened:
1) I dropped it when pushing the bike out as the ground was really very bumpy, or
2) Some evil-idiotic-participant had stolen my $70 speedometer! ARGH!
I was feeling terribly upset! This could be a rather expensive triathlon event, $90 for registration & $70 for the lost equipment!
Anyway, I had to “chase” the lady that I had “chosen” as a pacer! Man! She is fast lah! I kept her in sight not more than 10metres away, only on the 3rd lap did I managed to overtake her! She is probably a mother of a couple of kids liao lah! I have nothing to be proud of for overtaking her! FAINT!
4laps to go! Down the never ending straight road, we can see (& hear) the planes taking off and landing!

Finishing the 1st lap!

I could hear Stella n Milo shouting for my name!

After 2 laps, dismount from bike!

4: Dismount Bike!! Whoaaaa!! Jelly legs! I almost lost my balance when I got off the bike! I wobbled to push the bike back to the transition point, leave it there!

Jelly Legs! Listen to my command please!

Panting! Panting Panting!

As I was taking off the helmet n gloves, I tried my luck and looked around the area! Guess what! I FOUND IT! No evil person steal my Speedometer! It had dropped off near my Transition lot!!! I quickly picked it up & dropped it into my plastic bag!! WHOOPPI!!!

5: Ran out!! 5 shagging kilometers to go!
Or rather I jogged out! Feeling damn shagged liao! Jelly legs refused to listen to me to take bigger strides! ARGH! Nevertheless, I maintained a steady pace, controlled the stitches bugging me on both my sides…weather was Hot HOT HOT!!! I didn’t dare to drink the water the volunteers handed out to me as I needed to get rid of the pain 1st.

4 freaking laps to go, after 2 laps, I got a little disoriented which direction to go as it was not indicated, I had to asked the official stationed at the “2nd Lap” and “Finish” junction. Even Stella n Milo noticed that I was rather pissed off n frowned! Ok, 2 more laps to go, I figured I cant run at the pace that I had trained, I sucked thumb and maintained at the steady pace- & managed to overtake a few runners. Sheila n Clarissa were also doing their runs liao, & we encouraged each other to press on whenever we passed each other!

Finishing off the last metres!

I love this shot, the greens behind

and stride in the air....

Thanks stella, this is my fav shot!

6: “FINISH” sign! I saw it!
I filtered into the lane and open up my strides, I can see it now!! I sprint towards it! The blue carpeted floor! I sprint and sprint! I saw Stella n Milo cheering me on! But alas, that was not the finishing, it was just a microchip reading point! I saw the big billboard that read “FINISH” further up! & I pressed on! & then I almost fall flat when I heard the MC announced “Coming up next is 595 SOK MUI NG!!” PIANG!!! Why cant they get it! It’s SOYA NG!! *FAINT*

Bursting all the way!

I FINISHED! YAY!

Anyway, I finished & finished strong!!! Panting but strong! The volunteers at the finished pushing a plastic bag to me- I took it. Another volunteer put on a medal for me- I bowed my head low to receive it and uttered “Thank you!”. Only later when I caught my breathe then I checked the plastic bag to find 2 bottles of drinks n a muesli bar, the medal read “FINISHER”. I was rather proud of myself! Wuahahah!
Milo & Stella fussed over me with words of encouragements, water, the event’s update etc! Hhahha! Then it was photo time!!!

WE FINISHED! YAY!

Our SHAGGED look! HAHA!

Act Cutesy Pose!

After the shag event,

I need a Good massage from Stella!

My Personal Assistant cum Pong Pong Girl,

We are the Women!!!

We ROARRRR!!!

The Whole Gang!

Packing up!

Overall, it was a fantastic event! I am very happy for Clarissa n Sheila to complete their Virgin Triathlon event! Somehow I took the responsibility of making sure they trained, felt ok. The support I lacked during my 1st triathlon event, so I am supa glad that they did GREAT!

Mission accomplished…

I am famished! After packing up, we headed to Bake’s Café for yummy lunch! Well deserved Beer and Yummy Food!

Did we over order?! *Glutton me!*

We deserve the Yummy Food what!

& I deserve the Beer! Cheers!

I earned this drink man!

Cheers!!

Poor Stella had such amazing tan lines …. Must take photo to show! Hahhah!
Oh, she also broke her pretty newly manicured thumb nail after some idiot knocked into her at the event, it was red n sore…Poor thing…

Poor Stella's nails... OUCH!!

After I reached home, bathed and rested, I K.O. in perspiration! It was a rather Hot afternoon! Wished I had air-conditioning in my room man! Stella also had problem falling asleep man! We took some photos of Cookie n Creamie…. See next entry!
