Completed my 1st duathlon, with unoffical time n place of 2:19:12
Slept unwell, due too exciting and woke up at 4am saw Wayne's message said
that his bike has punctured and need change. Reach race site at 5:00am
installed back the front tire and just realized the back tire not enough
air, lucky a day before race i brought a hand up so pump back the air
and locate Wayne. Parking my bike in the transitioning area and my place
is the 2nd last from the transitioning exit. After help Wayne change
his tire from Noobus tat carry whole tire set and help Sebastian pin his
bib, due he over sleep.
Race flag off with sprint runner follow by
team and sprint, just follow the runner infront and keep running finish
1st leg of the race in 24-25min get on the bike and start cycling by
watching expensive bike passing me like wind......trying to catch up
with them taking corner at km7 if i not wrong end up spinning around and
end up on grass. Sit awhile and grab back the bike and start cycle back
till km15 is climbing, try to stand up and push. Within sec my calf
muscle become hard and pulling hard, so i just able to leisure bring
myself up the hill and all the way. Not far away after the butterfly
U-turn Mohd Fathudin and Jimmy overtook me, in same time i feel Fuck
they able to catch up....so i keep pushing myself to speed up just not
let the gap between me n them not so far away.
Once finish the

his bike at the rack, and i run and push my bike to my place. Exciting
