I signed up for a ladies-only triathlon after being inspired during the City Duathlon. I'm beginning to feel the anxiety already...I hate the feeling of being in a race. I hate the feeling of others overtaking me cos' it makes me feel lousy about myself somehow. Anyway, I think I ought to get out of my comfort zone...so decided to take the plunge and go for it!

The only thing that I feel I'm not up to...is the swim. I can do many laps in the pool with the breast stroke but I can't swim effortlessly for 1 lap with the freestyle! I actually feel nervous before I go for each swimming lesson!

Sigh....

Not in a good mood today

Just came from the pool after doing several laps. Shld make notes in future to avoid public pools in the evenings! There were more people doing laps across the pool than along the pool!! This is damn jialat I tell you... I was swimming in the lane closest to the side when out of nowhere, this pair of flabby legs juz stuck out in front of me! Wa phiang!!! This woman want to practise her kicks in the middle of the pool without checking her flabby blindspot!!! KNN!!!!!!

Then there was another who was swimming the breadth of the pool - she was swimming in front of me - for a minute. If I were to move at that rate, I'd give up swimming and go run instead. Best thing is, she was swimming with her GLASSES on. After (not) moving for a minute in front of me, she happily stood up in front of me, glanced in all directions to see how much she has moved before taking another minute to move another metre! Argh!!! KNN!!!!!

That explains why I'm at the gym now....to work out the pek-chekness......KNN!
