I finally decided it was time to put myself to the challenge. Yup... I registered myself for the Singapore Biathlon 2010.
Up till today, I've pretty much only joined running events/races like your annual Army Half Marathon and Standard Chartered Marathon. I've been procrastinating about joining biathlons for more than a year now, coz honestly I'm nervous and afraid of not completing it and ultimately letting myself down. So I thought no better way to start the new decade than to sign up for one! Call me crazy, mad, insane....
Well, I officially have about 2 months to train up for the event - 1.5km swim + 10km run. I guess I'm a pretty decent and average swimmer and runner, but that's when I do these events individually. Not sure about have them one after the other. Really gotta have to start training...
Did I mention that all prospective participants must undergo a 1.5km swim time trial in the pool prior to being allowed to compete in the event.... and the cut off time to meet is 40mins! I have mine this coming Wednesday evening. Wish me luck! Then again, come the actual day, it'll be an open water sea swim and that's totally different. I've only done one sea swim in my life - Rottnest Swim back in Australia in 2006.
The swim training has already commenced.... run, swim, run, swim.... Kambate Ja!
