IRONMAN 70.3 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2018: This race certainly took a lot out of me and it was a very humbling experience on all counts. The race was tough, the toughest I've raced thus far and I was out of my comfort zone for the entire race (taking 'Get out of your comfort zone!' to a whole new level!). I slipped into the dark place a few times and I had to keep pulling myself out, repeatedly muttering under my breath to myself: "I just want to finish, I just want to finish". I mean, I flew all the way out here and I want that finisher medal, towel and cap badly LOL!
Coming into this, my expectations were simple - to just complete the race and enjoy the experience. It is the World Championship and this is where the best of the world gathers to compete once a year; and I was just grateful for the opportunity to toe the start line. In fact, I got all teary eyed while waiting in the start pen and I felt a wave of emotions engulf me. I wanted to bawl right there and then, but tak glam la, so must maintain. It's been nearly two years and what a journey it has been.
It was a great experience on so many levels and getting to be there is a huge thing for me. I definitely have a lot to learn here! It was also cool to be racing with friends, and also having my mum with me. Thank you everyone for the support and the kind words - it really helps :) Next up - Ironman Malaysia.. my first full Ironman! Pray for me!!
