New old baby

Yes, tomorrow will test out this new old baby. Second hand as usual..Hehehhee…. God be with me… 😛 Its called the Blue Pill…. ! 😛 You might not want to believe it, but I haven’t touched my roadies even for once post Ironman. Well I did a few MTBs in Putrajaya, FRIM and also Kuantan. So, let the legs warm up a bit tomorrow (today). I so cant wait… 😛

I always smile to myself listening to the wacky and cute bike names. Jaja calls hers Froggie. And here is my list :

The Black Cab

Yellow Submarine

Green Weed

Blue Pill

56HopeRoad

Colour/song title based names except for the last one.  😛 And why i name them as such ? There are reasons to it of course ! 😛 The latest edition which is the ‘Blue Pill’ came across my mind after  Ironman. It had to do with the various kinds of  ‘pain’ which I struggled throughout my maiden Ironman. Initially I thought i would call it the ‘Painkiller’. But it sounded too straight forward.Nothing fancy. So I thought, why not Blue Pill. Corresponds with the physical look also !

So what exactly have I been doing post IM.  I totally slowed down on the training part.  But I did some  trail runs and MTBs with friend alrite. Here are some pics. I have updated my Nuang report in previous posts, so you might wanna look for that post (plenty of pics !). 😛

So basically I have done some form of workout/training after a month lay-off post IM but minimal. Yesterday I had flu and feel a bit feverish. No not because I’ve been training too hard, but because I’ve done basically nothing at all, I havent sweated out the adrenaline… Well, I did take part in the Bera Eco-Challenge last week. I enjoyed every bit of the course. Only my knee didnt. I came in 8th placing around 4 minutes behind my friend Fong (national rower). Anyways,  meeting with some friends last night brought me to this idea that sometimes we take things for granted. I am not exactly sure what my friend really meant, but he said ‘sometimes we take things for granted.. after Ironman, everything looks easy..’..ahahha…tricky…but anyways..I believe that the drive for IM prep, as well as OD prep, is principally the same. Just the amount of effort and sacrifices are different. Do no be fooled with  ‘..Just the …’..the Just word makes a whole lot of difference to some of the IM finishers.  I can’t wait to share with you my IM experience. I know I will be contributing one of the super late entries for Ironman Langkawi. Im dying to share, but I’m like so caught up with work and other things ! Lets see what my next post will be..u wait….hahahaha…Okay people, adios. missjewelz gotta zzz..tmrw meeting up with Upiq !! Have a beautiful Friday and an awesome weekend too ! Watch out for the XTERRA Malaysia promo at Bombal Run this Sunday. Cau cin cau !!!
