8th March Sunday: Did my first ever swim in the sea at Sentosa Tanjong Beach without life jacket! Thanks to Verma Michelle (at 22yrs she is S'pore's youngest ever female sports women to complete a full Ironman race and did it at the Langkawi's tough and sadistic route, she came in 4th in her age group catagory) and also Maryanne who is most helpful and encouraging. They have help moved me closer to my dream of completing a Triathlon.
The first dip in the water was terrifying, I could hardly breath! My lungs seem to have frozen! First thought was to quit and forget about the races that I have registered. After calming down, things turned out to be better. Got to know Michelle better and her colourful life thus far. Its good to meet people halve my age and get infected by their zeal and enthusiasim. Had a good day at the beach with family too.
