Always thinking. Trying to prove myself wrong. To see what I could be missing.

The month of Ramadan has left us my friend, and the joyous occasion of Eid is present before us once more. May we all enjoy the festivities of Eid.

Hope the light of the moon fall directly on you and Allah bless you with everything you desire today.

Happy Eid Mubarak!

Bali Triathlon 2018 Part 2: Bike
The bike and I have a kind of love/hate relationship going on...
Many of you may not know but I've been nursing a hamstring/hip issue ever since I started cycling which as required treatment every other week by Dr Pain (aka Daniel)
So I was still experimenting with bike positions, flexibility issues, past injuries catching me up, etc going into this race - wasn't completely happy or confident. When I started to feel good, something negative would occur.. And this repeated itself.
But in saying that I thought I would have done better.
I did better than last year however.

Last year: 41.0
This year: 37.36
This is one I've got to better manage which I think will come with more race experience and solo efforts.
As you can probably see from my IG stories, I'm ON this already. I'm gonna get seriously good at this.
T2: as you may have seen in the video as I jumped off the bike, my right calf began to cramp. This then played on my mind as I was about to go into the 5KM run aiming to do sub20.
I was 20 seconds slower than I had planned on T2 and 20 seconds in this game is a lot. A mixture of putting my bike in the wrong spot, cramp, forgetting race belt.
Overall I was disappointed with this effort but gives me plenty to work on.
Thanks to of and .collis and the bike crew of for training and advice.
