The RM500 receipt
During dinner with Tim, Laurel and Mariel, I asked about the photo with Tim and Laurel together in a tri race and Laurel told me that there’s a triathlon race this coming September, The Austin Triathlon which Tim is joining (Laurel would have also join but she found out a good news; that she’s pregnant!). So I ended up joining the race too, but I’m going for the shorter distance - because I have never join one before - which is called the sprint distance. It’s a 700m swim, 27km cycle and 5km run; half of an Olympic distance. I just paid for the registration which cost me $143.40! That’s RM 500! I used to pay between RM 20 to RM 60 for my marathon races but this is so far the most expensive race I’ve ever joined; I sure hope I don’t get a cold before my race… There is nothing as motivating as having to fork out RM 500 on a race so I’m forced to wake up early almost everyday and train… The crazy thing is, I actually like doing this crazy thing! XD
Wish me all the best friends!
woohoo...IRONMAN!!
ReplyDeleteYo dude good luck! =) Bring some medals home wahaha!
ReplyDeletekhailing: technically it's not an IronMan race, it's just a normal triathlon race. An IronMan race requires 3km of swimming, 160km of cycling and 42km of running. Compared that to the usual triathlon, you'll know why an IronMan race is considered a race for man of iron! :D
ReplyDeleteYou can call me just triathlete or would be IronMan-er :D
Mel: Thanks! By the way medals can't hug you, so I'm bringing myself back so that you can get a hug from me! XD
