anak POWERBAR, and PD training 2

When we register for races, usually we'll get a 'powerbar' for free. We collected quite a few this year but don't always eat them -not found very fond of the taste / on raceday morning they just won't slide down. However when I looked this morning there were only a few left -INTERROGATE THE KIDDS-. Haha, the two little ones immediately confessed, especially Darimi has developped quite a liking for them.

Now these two know how to eat athletes food can start training them HIHI........

We went for the second PD training this morning. Kalam got a Isuzu trooper from the university for his use. It saved a lot of time, no need to take the bikes completely apart and spend an hour tryin to fit the parts into the wira. At 6.30am we left for Port Dickson

I estimate nearly a hundred atheletes were prepared to offer their sundaymorning as well, suckers we all are -to suffer willingly -.

Mr Chan redone the swim route, a lot shorter this time, or maybe it just seemed that way because today the sea was as calm as a mirror, very different from the first training 3 weeks ago.

I was determined to take things easy today as I haven't been feeling well for a few days (cough, cold fever). So just a relaxed swim, Kalam has improved a lot, now finishes slightly ahead of me (GRRR). Bacin has been going for swimming classes, now he keeps us with us (Not good for us, as his biking is mcuh faster than ours). Danial of course finishes ahead of his parents..

We all cycled out together with police-escort till the main junction 5km further on. I LOVE THIS - for a short while I get to pretend to be good enough to keep up with the pack, of course the illusion evaporates the instant we're released.

Kalam was also taking it easy, we cycled together for most of the course, Mr Chan passed us in the van - asked us whether were on honeymoon (Haha, we consider our marriage as an extended honeymoon). After 15km Kalam suggested to turn back, we cycled on a bit till we saw the first 'real athletes' coming back. After that we also turned and naturally pretended to be strong triathletes. Anyway most of the participants overtook us by the time we reached back to the transition. Total we cycled 33km, okay-lah.

In general the mood was very easygoin, only a few went for the full run, ahum Kalam and me didn't even start...

Neeza gave us some chocolates she bought for us in Labuan, yum, must try to get some before the four stooges finish them off.

Collected the kids from the beach, silly Dayan went swimming with the cast on. Claims he didn't know the cast is not supposed to get wet!!! Of course how could he know, after all I've been covering the cast with plastic bags & taping the whole thing before he has a shower every evening, of course I've been doing this just for the fun of it, not because it's necessary.

Fun sunday. Were thinking about trading the wira in for a second hand kia carnival. Face it now the kids are growing up fast, we simply don't fit into the car anymore. Let alone if we want to take bike's with us......
