Summary for week of 29 July to 4 Aug 07

Running season's here again!!

• Sunday, 29 July: Volunteered at OSIM Singapore Triathlon Olympic Distance races. Was offered a role at VIP tents but requested for transition area marshall instead. Located at the overhead bridge where athletes crosses over from swimming to biking and from biking to running, i was at the thick of the action. Good point as the transition area was a mud bath. Pity those who take great pain to clean their bikes. Together with my buddy Iceman, also an SGRunner, we directed athletes up and down the bridge. Must say that less the relay cyclists, everyone of the competitors passed by my point. The elite triathletes were inspirational, while it was great to see others like Jerry, Peter, Jon, Alan etc from Trifam, as well as SGRunners like IMD, Sotong, Roonz, Littletigger etc.
• Monday, 30 July: Busy at work, no training.
• Tuesday, 31 July: At Bintan, plan for gym workout was shelved due to a departmental celebration.
• Wednesday, 1 Aug: Did shoulders, back, abs and legs workout at FSD gym before running a 2.4km just for the heck of it. Beginning to love the NB735; the cushioning's really soft.
• Thursday, 2 Aug: New Community Development Manager reported for work. Did some orientation for him before i returned to Singapore. Got home and cycled to Chapter 2 Cycle at Ang Mo Kio, where Ned recommended some work my bike needed to be put through. In detail, i will be changing to Richey dropbar with STI set donated by Hedgehog, change a new pair of brakepads for rear brakes and service the whole bike. Hope my bike will look normal after this. Had the pleasure of meeting Mr Ironman himself, Dr Siong from SGrunners. After handing over the bike to Ned, i did a 5km run back home before meeting Ed for late dinner.
  
• Friday, 3 Aug: Cleared paperwork in preparation for ISO renewal audit. Packed for KL trip.
• Saturday 4 Aug: Together with Ronnie, Ham and Charles, left for KL for the Adidas King of the Road. Collected my racebibs from Runwitme at Sunway Pyramid before having lunch at Tony Romas. Must admit that the Bountiful Beef Ribs were uber delicious. Nuah-ed at KLCC after checking in at Hotel Noble and had Maggi Goreng for dinner before retiring just before 2200hrs.

August is going to be a busy month.
