Tapering Run

Became a fat bird this morning with a tapering 18km run at ECP. Saw many friends training there for various races. We were going with the 4:30h group. Good to see Nigel after a long time. I got dropped after the 2nd toilet break and had to go doubly fast to catch up with the group. Bummer.... Managed to chase and re-group. 1:45hr.

Time to rest those legs til next weekend! :)

Leisurely Swim

Finally dipped into the pool after a week of rain and temperamental weather.

3x 500m
12:58, 13:.., 13:... = 39:39.

What a nice number, can buy 4D!

Slow slow run

Let's see, in typical PS-fashion, I have to hurt something somewhere before a major race. Right foot from US trail marathon. Right thigh from Sunday's long ride. Left toe from (of all silly things) my work shoes. How clutzy! Massaged all of these today and hopefully they will recover in a week.

Did a slow jog around Canterbury-Harbourfront in my new Asics. Shoes were a little stiff initially but broken into after 30min. Legs and body though were terribly tired and uncooperative. So we just trudged along very slowly. It was one of those runs just for activity, not training. Heck, I was not even timing myself. Thankfully, all the problem zones did not hurt as much as last Saturday. Whew! Enroute to recovery.... *fingers crossed*

Windy Ride

Another insanely early morning ride, which of course we were late for. Terribly apologetic. As usual, my mind and body do not function well in the dark or before sunrise. Rode very conservatively in the beginning.

The winds were free today - all sorts - headwind, tailwind, crosswind.... Buy 1 get 3 free. Never experienced such strong winds in Singapore as this morning. So many times I was almost swept away, wobbly. And the winds in Busselton are stronger than these. I was so petrified that I would be blown off course during the race! Craps.

A couple of new guys joined us today. They were fast. Chased as hard as I could, but was still dropped within sight of them. Went really hard along Jln Ahmad Ibrahim to Tuas. By the time we exited Tuas, I was spent... Getting back to my car was another challenge.

Total 145km.
Legs aching, eyes drooping... Time to sleep.

Painful Run

Joined in Fatbird's long run this morning. 28km. Not very long, but it felt like 50km after I was done. Ouch. Leg pain, back pain, stomach pain. Haha.... That did not sound promising at all. After weeks of running on trails, the tarmac was very hard on my knees and legs. My injured foot felt problematic again. Sigh. Walked, ran, walked, ran with a few other runners, and finally managed to get back to the start/end point. Whew....

Super tired.
