Training....Or Not!

Completed Inter-Constituency Swim Meet about 2 weeks ago. Reults: -
Freestyle, 50M, 6th Placing, 29 secs
Breastroke, 50M, 4th Placing, 40 secs
Medley Relay, 4x50M, 2nd Placing
Freestyle Relay, 4x50M, 3rd Placing
Overall, Yew Tee Constituency came in 2nd, losing out only to Kebun Bahru with only, get this, 2 points!!

Apparently, one of the event numbers got switched around and one of our lady swimmers didn't get to swim. If she had participated, we could have gotten enough points to have successfully defended our champion status. On the other hand, if I had trained harder, then I wouldn't have been "punctured" during the last event, the 50M Freestyle relay. I had given everything in the earlier Medley relay, where I swam backstroke, that I was running on empty for the Free. Can you imagine that I swam 36 secs for that??!! How slow can I be??

Anyway, at least we didn't do too badly as a team. Really gotta thank my team mates for giving their time and effort. This goes out specially to our team manager, Lu, for the dedication he has shown throughout this year. Anyway, gonna prepare for the Stanchart Marathon at the end of the year now. In between, I'm gonna be running some short distance events like the Sheares Bridge Run and the REAL Run. Hopefully, I'll do better than 2 years back.....
