This is the best moment ever.. Recognitions of all hardwork... I really gonna miss TP and all the friends there. I am really greatful to everyone who has been part of my journey in TP. You guys had made my 3 years a fruitful 1. Its just like a tattoo... Can never be washed away~

I am really fortunate to be able to work in TP till i enlist. On top of that, i was given the "bonus" of enlisting in September... So that i can still spend time with my frens and also to take a good look at the school... Atot i will be lonely soon... Most of my frens are enlisting in July and my
labmate had ended their project......but i believe the moment i am in TP, i am not alone.. (:

Big Thank YOU to everyone....

Graduation Ceremony 2008

In Progress....

After Math of cycling

My THIGH BURSTING!!!!

Cant make it for wed training so did a 800m swim time trial on tuesday. Bad timing, 13:24. I ame 24s off my pb. Maybe cause i PB... Broken stroke.... cant seems to active my leg.. hence irregular kicking... Not smooth at all... Maybe is the sudden surge of cycling milege

Shag OUt Weekends + Vesak

Saturday: Shag#1
Did cycling training today. 3 loop of Punggol end. Total of 18 hills, consisiting of short and long. After that I ran 1 loop around my neighbourhood, approximately 1.8km. Getting my muscle used to running after cycling...

After training , went for Tim Sum Buffet at Mirama Hotel with the spring fielders and Tri Team. The food was great... just that the journey to there was kinda of funny... LOL.. In short i am just lost in singapore...HAHA

Went for a walk at suntec city....

Can you believe that we are having Tim Sum buffet ?!?

Sunday: Shag#2
I have to wake up as early as 730am to prepare myself for the CPR course at 9am. The course was held at Kallang Basin Swimming Complex.

The course was enriching and interesting. We learnt basic First Aid and CPR. We also watched some related videos. Did a theory test before lunch. Scored 20/20... LOL! I think i just got the luck. After lunch we practise CPR on the manikin .. I cant seems to get the count correct so i used my own way of counting...

A skill reporter will determine if we pass or fail.. I passed on the 1st attempt... HAHA! Luck is really on my way... Score a 100% for breathing and 97% for compression and my total counts was exactly 150. WOOOh!!!..

CPR Graduates!!

Did made some progress today at work... Manage to transmit and detect some datas... but not yet to control... Sian.. Gotta meet up with the pros tml for some help.

Night swim was wonderful. Did intense speed work. LOL... NOt really speed work but more of a speed endurance.

200 warm up
10x25 drills
800 (50 fast 150 recover, 100 fast 100 recover, 150 fast 50 recover , 50 fast, 150 recover)

I feel fast throughout. Activate the correct muscle....

hahah!

off to sleep bye!

Runing Takes You Places

Running is a way to destress.. Dont believe me.... get out of that 4 walls and hit the road... Run as far and fast as you can... Do a series of short sprint ... I can ganrantee you that you will end with a refreshed mind....

Tonight run workout was a fartlek. We did a 50min run. 1st 15min was ran at half marathon pace. After which 4x (3min 90% effort 2min half marathon pace). Then we recover till the time hit 50min at half marathon pace.

The 3min hard i manage to cover more than 800m. Polly about 850m. Approximately a 1:25 pace for 400m.

Feel Fast and relax.... Able to hold form...

WEnt for dinner at A-Star.... Had cai fan. Then i met up with my mum and we went home together. She went to see doc for her skin. My cousin called me and we had a nice chat...

Tired... off to bed.... Tomorrow's a bright day ahead... (:

Train Train Train~

Afternoon
Did brick training. 2 sets of 10min cycle and 5min run. I realise that my muscle endurance is improving. My leg dont feel as tight as before. GREAT!

Night
After hearing coach advice, i decided to try introducing fartlek training into my swim workout. The rationale behind is so that i can swim at race pace in open water and burst out when necessary to break off from the pack or to catch the draft. After which, drop to recovery pace and hit back to race pace. I muz be able to feel the 3 different pace , race pace, burst pace, recovery pace. I should be able to hit my timing for 1500 by varying my pace when necessary.

I did:
200 warm up
10x25 drills
4 x (50 fast pace 150 race pace)
200 breaststroke for recovery
5 x (100 fast pace 200 race pace)
200 breaststroke for recovery
Both are continuous sets

Total distance : 3400m
